The Toronto Raptors think Italy is so nice, they acquired from it twice by adding swing man Marco Belinelli to their roster in exchange for Devean George.

Belinelli was used sporadically last season with the Warriors finishing with averages of 8.9 points, 2.1 assists, 1.7 rebounds and 21.0 minutes in 42 games last season, his second in the NBA.

Devean George won a few rings with the Lakers, made a cameo in a music video I can’t remember and averaged 3.4 points per game with the Mavericks in 43 games last season.

If after all these international changes made by Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo this off season the Raps still  don’t produce. Look for Kofi Annan to take over the reins of the Toronto UN’s next season.
