411 on Pops Mensah-Bonsu

Ok, so I know alot of Raptors fans are still wondering whats going on in the Pops situation. Well I finally found some answers after alot of searching. According to a British bassketball site the Raptors extended an offer to him earlier in the month for $2.1M over 4 years ($8.4M), but he declined because he needed more money-or less years. What the Raptors are trying to do now is work out a sign and trade deal in which the Raps send Marcus Banks($4.5M) and a future 1st Round Pick to a team in exchange for Pops. That deal is going to give him a reported $4.2M over 3 years($12.9M); the kind of deal he wanted. This is exciting news because everyone loves the intensity this guy brings every night. Now GM Bryan Colangelo has to pull off some more magic to get this reported deal to work, It would also cap off the off-season as all roster spots will be filled!
