Murray, an 11-year NBA veteran, was acquired from the Cleveland Cavaliers on Aug. 25, 2002. But the six-foot-seven, 235-pound Murray averaged just six points, 2.7 rebounds and 15.1 minutes in 95 games with the Raptors. Murray began his NBA career with the Los Angeles Clippers in 1994-'95. He has appeared in 679 career games, scoring an average of 11.9 points. </div> http://www.tsn.ca/nba/news_story.asp?id=135289
good bye cancer!!! too bad thought he was goin to be a good addiction when we aquired him, too bad........
That probably means that Babcock isn't going to make a trade after all, right? Either way, I'm happy to see him go, he was a complete waste of time.
Heres another article, but its from espn saying the same thing. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Raptors waive forward MurrayAssociated Press Toronto Raptors: The Raptors waived small forward Lamond Murray on Friday. Murray barely played during his three seasons in Toronto, averaging 6.0 points, 2.7 rebounds in 95 games. The 11-year veteran had one-year and $5.25 million left on his contract. Toronto general manager Rob Babcock wanted to clear a roster spot and allow Murray to sign with another team. </div> Link

this has to be one of the saddest days in raptor history, today we say goodbye to an icon. nobody with the exception of yogi stewart understood canadian pine like lammond.
How much was his contract? And how many years does he have left? Also i really dont get how this waived-thing works do we still have to pay him??
He had 1 year left worth 5 Million. I'm pretty sure we still have to pay him. That means 5 million will come off of the cap next off-season.

Huzzah! Too bad he was just waived... I was really looking forward to seeing that towel and gatorade bottle
I heard Babcock's interview on Fan590 and he said there is a buyout involved. He did not specify whether it was for the whole amount owed or just a portion of it but there is a buyout clause, which means that MLSE would've saved money by waiving him.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting PlaTsanity:</div><div class="quote_post">first milt now murray raptors are doomed</div> Nice team confidence, lol as bad as things are going for the Raps remember about the man for the Raps, Bosh he is the only good thing happening in Toronto him and Charlie.
