Someone else wants to FDS?

Too bad it's the New York Post which is to newspapers what Lune Moons are to dessert.

More considered negotiation advice from DS

He whiffed with Anthony Parker but maybe the poetic prose of Douglas Moneybags Smith can entice the Raptor brass to write Carlos Delfino that blank cheque that any decent Argentinian chucker deserves:

I’d probably draw the line at a three-year deal worth about $15 million total for Delfino but I’m not sure I’d fully guarantee that last year and for Rasho I’d give him two years at the biannual exception.

While you're at it Doug, can you devote a couple of blog lines to how Fire Doug Smith should at least win a Pullitzer with an option for a Caldecott (we love kiddies!).

Doug Smith: Appraises like he journalizes

I would think a two-year deal at somewhere around $9 or $10 million – the same salary he made last year – with perhaps a third year option would be logical jumping off point.

Elsewhere in Doug Smith's fantasy world, Big Macs are priced at a svelte $900 per. Offering any less for a special sauce-slathered beef explosion would be an insult to one of the all-time classiest manwiches, a real burger's burger...

Greased-up metaphors aside, do you realize that if Doug Smith ran the Raptors, they'd be over the luxury tax and have four players on the roster? And one of those players would be Jorge Garbejosa's corpse?
