Raps kick D-Mart to the curb.

Well, it's not quite that brutal. Martin will remain with the
organization in some capacity:

....
One day after shaking up the starting lineup, team sources say Toronto will
sign free agent Linton Johnson to a 10-day contract today, bringing in the
6-foot-8 forward to add more athleticism and depth to the wing positions.

To make room for the addition of Johnson, the Raptors are going to waive
veteran guard Darrick Martin but keep him in the organization in some
capacity.

Johnson is a 27-year old who spent part of this season with the Phoenix Suns
after bouncing around a handful of other NBA organizations. Finances, or
roster "fit" have always precluded him from sticking long-term with any of
the organizations he's been with.

In six games with the Suns this season, Johnson averaged 2.5 points and 2.2
rebounds.

Undrafted after spending four years at Tulane, Johnson's also been with
Chicago, San Antonio, New Jersey and New Orleans in the last five seasons.

How he fits into Toronto's long-term plans is unclear. But he will be given
a chance to compete with Jamario Moon, Carlos Delfino and Jason Kapono for
playing time at small forward and, perhaps, address some defensive
deficiencies at that position.

....

I was at a "meet and greet" kind of event at the ACC before the game last
night. All the executives were there - even Peddie. A few Raptors too.
Colangelo was doing a Q&A, and I thought he had mentioned they were going to
be adding a player today. But some players showed up and distracted me.
Who wouldn't be distracted if Primoz was standing right behind you?

Given this news -- just how bad is Gerald Green? He's sitting at home
wondering who Linton Johnson is.
