The 31-year-old restricted free agent can now report to Toronto for a physical and to sign the deal he agreed to last week. The Indiana Pacers declined Thursday to match the offer, reportedly for roughly US$3.8 million over two years. "We're happy to get another piece falling into place," Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo told The Canadian Press. "We feel he should be another key ingredient in the mix we already have</div>http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/472...comes_a_raptor/I think that makes us about a couple hundred thousand over the MLE, hopefully he fills that rebounding, defending role.

    Why do we need another mediocre Power Forward? I thought Kris Humphries already fit that role.

    Maceo Baston is a beast. You guys will fall in love with him. He's a highly athletic player who is in constant motion and does all the little things. He's a nice fit to your team. You guys will love him once you see him play

    He will probably get some dunks, boards, some blocked shots in garbage time. I can't see him being a key player to our team....
