    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Raptors are expected to sign newcomers Roko Ukic and Nathan Jawai in the next few days, but veteran guard Carlos Delfino appears to be on the way out.

    Delfino likely will not return, even though he received a qualifying offer from the club last month. Delfino is a restricted free agent, meaning that Toronto would have the right to match any offer he receives. But the Raptors are unlikely to exceed the NBA salary cap to keep him.</div>

    Expected...but kinda sad. He was a good player for us and I wish him luck wherever he goes.

    Same here DLee. I had come to think of Delf as the heir apparent to Anthony Parker. Sure he had to work on being a more consistent player, but I thought he had the talent to be our starting 2-guard down the road. I guess that plan was negated when we went "all in" with the JO trade.
