    <h2>Report: Kapono reaches agreement with Raptors</h2> Sunday, July 1, 2007 04:52 PM
    BRISTOL, Connecticut (Ticker) - Jason Kapono reached a four-year agreement with the Toronto Raptors on Sunday, according to ESPN.com.

    The network reported that the contract is worth $24 million for Kapono, who averaged a career-high 10.9 points with the Miami Heat last season. </p>

    Free agents formally cannot sign contracts until July 11. </p>

    "Jason is excited about this opportunity and intends to sign with the Raptors when the moratorium period ends," Kapono's agent, Bob Myers, told ESPN.com.</p>

    Cha-ching.</p>

    That sounds like a lot of money and I'm not so sure he's better than Peterson. </p>

    So, does that mean Peterson won't be resigned?</p>

    </p>

    Hopefully Dallas can pick him up</p>

    It's doubtful that MoP returns and I'd like to see him on a good team like Dallas.</p>

    I'm pretty happy with the signing.</p>

    Sorta like the return of Kap'n Crunch part 2 or something.</p>

    Quite frankly, the team couldn't hit shots against the Nets. Sure better D and rebounding would have helped but those are things that I really believe the team is going to try to build from within, the shooting however became clear that maybe this team just didn't have the shooters it needed.</p>

    Luke Jackson and Juan Dixon were both brought in and didn't really make a difference so it was clear that this area needed upgrading as bad as the others.</p>

    With Parker, Kapono, and Bargnani on the floor together, you could potentially have three players who shoot threes like lay-ups. Best three point shooting threesome since Lewis/Allen/Ridnour?

    According to a few newspapers, the Raptors signed Kapono for 20 million. So it will be 5 million/year. Much better.</p>

    Parker, Kapono and Bargs. Oh man. </p>

    Actually, it seems like Kap is decent value considering what everyone else signed for.

    The extra reported money could be a bonus, or performance pay. Who knows? </p>
