Free agent sharpshooter Jason Kapono has quickly reached an agreement Sunday to leave the Miami Heat and sign a four-year deal believed to be worth $24 million with the Toronto Raptors.a The NBA's free agent period commenced at 12:01 Sunday morning, with free agents unable to formally sign contracts before July 11. "Jason is excited about this opportunity and intends to sign with the Raptors when the moratorium period ends," said Kapono's agent, Bob Myers. Kapono, a second-round draft pick of the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2003, led the NBA in 3-point percentage, and posted career-highs in points (10.9) and rebounds (2.7) this season. I thought the Lakers could aquire him for less because he played for ucla and he would be a great addition for the team
The Lakers were interested in him, but we've got capable 3 point shooters. I'm glad he got some money though. He should flourish in Toronto, especially with Bosh getting better and better. I don't mind missing out on him, there are still capable role players out there that we can grab with the MLE. We also brought Walton back.
