I mean ya sure the guy was a total bust in the nba but was very good in europe, we all know how these two leagues differ but it seems that super GM bryan colangelo is leaning towards making the raptors a international type of a team! The chemistry will be there for the euro guyz and they could be VERY dangerous if that happens coz the americans struggle against international style of play. Skita needs a chance to prove himself and the best oppurtunity is in toronto!

Yes. Toronto may be the place for him. Look at Colangelo's record with Phoenix for trades for guys considered busts. He may be the next Boris Diaw.
Diaw was drafted by the Atlanta Hawks in the first round, twenty-first overall in the 2003 NBA Draft where he played for two seasons before being traded in the offseason of 2005 with two future first round picks to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for Joe Johnson. This trade is already regarded as one of the most valuable in recent NBA history.
In Phoenix, Diaw blossomed into an all-round player, playing any position from center to point guard and getting the nickname "3D" because of his multidimensional play (his motto being "dunk, dish, defense") and the combination of his number (3) and last name. Diaw has averaged 13.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.05 blocks per game in the 2005-06 season for the Phoenix Suns, playing mostly power forward and center. Diaw has also been shooting 52.6% from the field and 73.1% from the free throw line.
So I say it was worth the risk.

properly Raptors is basically no longer a competent place for AI - after Bobcats theoretically and Knicks exceptionally pass up AI, in straightforward terms Lakers and Spurs make experience as a miles off shot. My impact on Raptors so far is that at the same time as they defend the ball ok (at present they have the fewest turnovers in step with interest) and that they throw the ball to Bosh extra oftentimes in offense and Bargnani is capturing properly, they could develop their protection, a community that AI isn't particularly a help at this point. certainly, their power adult males are under-utilized (they could provide extra minutes to Johnson) and that i doubt if Raptors relatively be responsive to the thank you to make use of Jack no longer in straightforward terms as a ball defender and floor customary. besides, it is not interior the desirable interest for Raptors to sign AI.

NO. He's a complete bust. I'm a Denver Nuggets fan and have seen him in Denver for 3 years. He has no confidense in the NBA and lacks the intensity to make it big. He has good fundamentals as shown in europe, but that doesn't always get the job done in the nba. He's a complete bust and by far the worst #4 pick in Nuggets history!

Skida sucks but what do the raptors have to lose. They can't get any worse. They might as well bring back Oliver Miller.

He'll be cheap to sign, and the Raptors suck anyway. What could go wrong?

I don't know, it might work out, but everywhere else he has been a waste of money
