With all the talk of Jose’s blog, one wonders why the Delfino blog is being overlooked.
A rough translation:
- he is now "free" for the first time
- he will now see who really wants him, how much they will pay for him and agree to his demands.
- also allows him to choose where he wants to play, where he will be most comfortable both playing the game and living
- he believes his NBA game has become much stronger
- he thinks he had a good season in Toronto and it was the first time he enjoyed and thrived in the NBA
- the season is long, with many ups and downs
- he expected the team to be better and advance in the playoffs
- this was the first year with extended minutes, plays called for him, and being asked for his input
- feels very comfortable in the city.
- teammates were fantastic and he enjoyed the different nationalities
- Toronto is very cold but also very beautiful
- he played 190 games (argentina, detroit, toronto) with no injuries
- his statistics aren’t great, but they don’t show his feelings
- he has great hopes for his continued growth in the NBA
- he came to Toronto knowing they wanted him, give him more minutes and the ability to grow and he did all of those things.
- he thinks he can grow much more and learning never stops
- for this reason, it is great that he is free to decide where to play and continue learning and growing
