I guess Delfino's holding of Colangelo to a ransom has just backfired.

I think part of the euro-love is that these are guys that are more likely to love Toronto and Canada, and in turn will really appeal to the Raptors' international audience. If you take a competent group of international players who will form a stable core, this will breed winning, and in turn will attract the key American players you need to build an elite team. At least, My guess is that this is the theory. Though it's not like Turkoglu or anyone else took a discount to play in Toronto.
