It's not official yet but it's more than just a rumor... it seems that Sportitalia won't broadcast NBA TV anymore every night like this past season but it would have now the rights for all the games (home and away) played by the Toronto Raptors in the 2009-2010 season!!!

If true, a terrific new for all the Belinelli and Bargnani lovers (bye bye streaming)... but also not the greatest move for all the italian NBA fans that like to watch more than just an italian player on a NBA court (and they're many).

I imagine Appel and our RealGM guys will be happy...

No love for Gallinari?

what channel?

I don't know, but I guess this will more than make up for the cash we sent GS?

I would imagine the Raptors would see additional revenue from something like this?

seriously if we get a chinese signed, we would get so much exposure in the growing chinese market

Thats great. We'll have millions of italian kids wanting to grow up to be Raptors.

How come Canadian TV doesn't?

Hmm... Sun Yue just got waived... so why not???

Great news for our Italian friends!

And local fans get the TSN2 fiasco!!

This is great news for the Italian fans and shows some of the perks that come with having an international roster.

There are tons of Chinese ppl in Toronto..if we had someone like Yao, every game would be sold out. I know a lot of old guys who don't follow the NBA at all, but ask me when they can get tix to see Yao every year.
