wanted to point out that just because we got peja's $15 million coming off the books after this season, it doesnt necessarily mean we are $15 million under the cap like some would have you believe.

Not sure where you got that number, but I've read it's lower than that. And Barbosa has a player option that, if he has a good year, he will probably not exercise.
As for the cap, we have no idea how much under the cap they will be since we don't know what the cap will be next season, or if there will be a next season.Read my blog, The Picket Fence. Guaranteed to make you think or your money back!

These are the players under contract for next year: Calderon, Bargnani, Amir, Linas, DD, Davis, Bayless, and Alabi.
Restricted free agents: Weems, Dorsey, Wright
Player option of $7.6 for Barbosa which, if he opts OUT, would bring the payroll down to $37.5M.
Of course this is all based on current CBA. Next year nobody knows what the cap will be.
This is a classic example of your typical comments that have no fact.
Let me get this out of the way for you: I know I'm a douchebag and I love BC's man-bits.

We are committed about 45 million next year without Weems and Julian Wright !! Assuming that we give Weems a 5 million and pick up the Qualifying offer on Wright for 4 million, then we sit on 54 million next year. Add to that the 2 first rounders that we have for next year and that will push us close to 60 unless BC trade our first round draft picks

Depending on how well the Raptors play and where they finish in the standings he may be having too much fun with all the guys who can run with him.
Barbosa is most effective in an uptempo offense.

It wasn't even about changing teams, as he obviously stayed. Barbosa will turn 29 next season and he knows as well as anyone that you can't bank on being healthy all the time. If he has a decent season, I think he'll strike while the iron is hot. It simply make good, long term sense.
