Colangelo liked the numbers so much on the Banks contract that he's carrying a similar one w/ Kapono; what's troubling though is the lack of value Colangelo seems to place on draft picks - although this is protected at 14th until 2014, he spoke during the conference call yesterday about how there are few true talents beyond that point in the draft which seems to ignore Granger's selection at 17th, a contentious issue among Raptor fans given that the team (under the auspices of former GM Babcock) selected both Villaneuva and Graham in the same draft year despite having 2 chances at Granger; his reasoning is also undermined by the Spurs track record at drafting (which is a direct result of possessing a superior eye at assessing talent, a deficiency that has plagued the Raptors during the draft over the years).
If Ukic can work on a semi-reliable jumper, he may in the future usurp Calderon at the point - the way he punished Parker by driving in the last game against San Antonio probably made SA's management take notice and keep him on their radar. Although he has a propensity to be wild at times, the fearlessness he possesses would stand him in better stead versus Calderon, who is somewhat loathe to be proactively aggressive, almost in fear of disrupting his stellar assist to turnover ratio.
From an outsider's perspective, there still persists the question as to whether Colangelo has a definitive plan/strategy in place or if he's doing it on the fly; you can have the illusion of building a playoff team that you believe will contend for the championship or is (in reality) just a treadmill squad able to qualify, but a paper tiger in disguise and inevitably destined to be bounced each and every time.
