Fred Jones Ready To Run With The Raptors
The Toronto Raptors held a press conference this afternoon to announce the signing 
of Fred Jones. The newest Raptor known for his high flying act sees himself as a perfect fit to Colangelo's system . ' What attracted me to Toronto is the style of play ' Indeed . Jones is known for leading Indiana's few fastbreak plays. ' He is a good finisher ' said Chris Bosh. Jones is a welcome addition to the Raptors. More than John Salmons who backed out of the verbal agreement with Colangelo to sign with the Sacramento Kings. I think B.C,. is lucky withj this welcome development .

' I don't have a problem in Indiana but now I will be able to play an uptempo game like I did in college ' said the former Slam Dunk champion . ' I am from Portland and Damon Stoudamaire told me good things about Toronto. Talking of Portland , Alvin Williams , who is one of those the Raptors got in a trade with the Blazers for Stoudamaire , was waived by the Raptors early that day. One of the most popular Raptors because of his ability to play despite injuries , Williams was the longest serving Raptor. He underwent oprations in 
both knees 2 years ago and has not played except for a game or 2. So come the NBA season opener , expect Toronto to release its ' horses.'
Except Alvin of course.
Let's just say , Alvin is Barbaro !
Alvin : Me eutanished !
