SACRAMENTO - Some say that living well is the best revenge. Vapormax 2019 Scontate . At least four players on the Raptors roster subscribe to that philosophy. When Torontos Patrick Patterson, John Salmons, Greivis Vasquez and Chuck Hayes return to Sacramentos Sleep Train Arena Wednesday, theyll be feeling a lot better about themselves than when they were last in the building, when they called it home. Its been nearly two full months since that fateful night in Los Angeles when a seven-player trade shook the foundation of the Raptors franchise. As reports began to circulate hours before tip-off, the timing of the deal caught everyone off guard. In exchange for the bloated contract and modest production of Rudy Gay - along with Quincy Acy and Aaron Gray - Toronto took back four veteran wild cards. Each of the four had experienced some level of individual success in the league. Vasquez and Patterson - the youngest of the four - were both coming off career seasons, one in New Orleans, the other in Houston. Hayes - a nine-year vet - had been a starter with the Rockets and Salmons, now in his 12th season, was a key contributor to playoff teams in Chicago and Milwaukee. At 34 and 30 respectfully, Salmons and Hayes immediately became the elder statesmen on a young Raptors squad. Each of them had started in at least one of Sacramentos first 18 games. They were rotation players for a team that was 5-13 at the time of the trade. "Coming from here in Sacramento, things werent that great," Salmons said, candidly reflecting back on the trade after wrapping up practice in the Kings gym Tuesday. "So when we got the opportunity to come here we just wanted to take advantage of it. Losings not fun and this team had a chance to make a run at the playoffs." Without Gay, who was shooting 39 per cent and hoisting just under 19 shots per game, most anticipated there would be at least some addition by subtraction but no one - even internally - knew what to expect from the incoming Kings players. Likewise, they didnt know what to expect from a Raptors team that had a 6-12 record prior to that game in LA on Dec. 8. "I mean you hear stuff about other teams, but the only thing you really know is their record," Salmons added. "You know their record, you know their roster but you dont know the whole story. So coming in all we saw was the record, we didnt know that the locker room was full of good guys." Toronto has gone 19-10 since the trade was made official, 19-9 since the acquired players made their Raptor debuts, good for the third-best record in the Eastern Conference over that stretch. Not only did the trade improve the Raptors bench, it made their bench. On most nights, Dwane Casey has settled into a strict nine-man rotation, using the four ex-Kings as his primary reserves. Torontos bench combined for 35 points on 52 per cent shooting in Mondays win over the Jazz. They have scored 30 or more in three of the last five contests and are averaging 26.6 points since the trade. Casey has entrusted them to be on the floor in key situations. Quite frankly, theyve earned it. "I feel like we got four veteran, solid players that really helped us in a lot of different ways and gave us some toughness off the bench," the Raptors coach said. "Right now, obviously [Toronto is] playing at a very high level," said Kings coach Mike Malone. "I think all four of our guys are helping them at different points." The newcomers have each put their stamp on the teams run. Often the first player off the bench, Patterson is logging fewer minutes than he was in Sacramento, yet averaging three more points per game, contributing nearly 10 as a Raptor. Hayes has carved out a niche as a reliable, savvy and hardworking stopper and rebounder. Salmons, a two-way player, has become Torontos third ball handler. Of the four, Vasquez is the only one who has seen his scoring average dip since coming to the Raptors. Still, hes not complaining. "Im in a different situation right now and Im pretty happy," said Vasquez, who has stepped in as a reliable backup to Kyle Lowry, something the team was desperately searching for early in the season. "I think winning really makes everything so much better. Id rather be in a winning program right now than going through a tough time [in Sacramento]." You would have to be naive to think that Wednesdays return to Sacramento is just another game for those four. The Kings are 11-19 since sending them to Toronto and the statement theyre hoping to make has more to do with their collective success than individual performances. "You always look forward to playing the team that traded you," said Vasquez, averaging seven points and four assists with the Raptors. "More than that its about winning. At the end of the day, whether I play well, whether I dont play well, I just want to go back to Sacramento with a win." Vasquez was only with the Kings for a couple months to begin the season. For Salmons, his connection with the Sacramento franchise goes back seven years. In 2006, the Philadelphia-native pulled out of a deal with the Raptors to sign in Sacramento. After being moved to the Bulls, then to the Bucks, Salmons eventually found his way back to the Kings but became expendable when new ownership decided to take the team in a different direction. The trade to Toronto was Salmons fifth since being drafted out of Miami in 2002 but he took this one more personally than the others. He felt slighted by an organization that he had spent most of his career playing for. "When I got traded I had mixed feelings, strong mixed feelings," he admitted. "Im not going to say I was totally mad at the [Kings] organization it was just, I dont know, it was just a little tougher this time." Now, as he and his teammates get set to make their much-anticipated return, that animosity is water under the bridge, more or less. Salmons, like the other three, is sincerely happy to be a Raptor. Winning is the best medicine. "Guys enjoy winning," said Salmons. "Theres the old saying, winning cures everything so the more we win the more people want to sacrifice to continue winning."

"Its way better than running gassers, thats for sure," the inside linebacker said Monday, when the Chargers started their third and final week of organized team activities, which are practices in shorts, jerseys and helmets.

The Team from Turin never looked back and claimed the Scudetto for a third straight season by a wide 17-point margin over second place AS Roma. Juventus set a record for most wins in a season with 33 in 38 matches, and managed a stretch of 12 straight wins from Oct. 27 to Jan. 18. Despite the large gap between the two teams Roma started last season strong with a Serie A record 10 straight victories to open the year. Their demise seemed to be a stretch of five draws in six games following the winning streak. Can Juventus hold off Roma for their fourth straight title? It will be a tough challenge for a team who lost their head coach in July. Antonio Conte left Juventus by mutual consent to head the Italian national soccer team. Massimiliano Allegri is the man filling in his shoes. The 47-year-old was relieved of his duties as manager of AC Milan in January after Milan won only five matches in their first 19 league games. Allegri led Milan to a Serie A title in 2010-11 his first year on the job, so it will be interesting to see if he can do the same with Juventus. Juve tinkered during the transfer window acquiring Patrice Evra from Manchester United to bolster their defence already boasting the likes of Giorgio Chiellini and Stephan Lichtsteiner. They also added 21-year-old Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid for 20 million euros. The youngster will add depth to an already talented core of strikers. Carlos Tevez had a renaissance season with 19 goals, good for third in the league last year, while Fernando Llorente was right behind him with 16. The real strength of Juventus comes from the midfield with the likes of Andrea Pirlo, Arturo Vidal, Paul Pogba and Kwwadwo Asamoah. Vapormax Chrome Blush. The 35-year-old Pirlo along with Vidal and Claudio Marchisio will continue to control the pace at centre midfield, while Pogba has become an explosive young talent. However, with Pirlo and Buffon aging and a harsh schedule which includes Champions League play: Will Juventus have enough in the tank? The closest competition for the Serie A title seems to be Roma, and the club certainly made a push in the off-season to improve on the second place finish. The Rome club purchased veteran left-back Ashley Cole from Chelsea, 21-year-old Argentine striker Juan Iturbe and midfielder Seydou Keita. If manager Rudi Garcia can get Mattia Destro going and get the most out of Gervinho once again, Roma could improve on their already dynamic offence that finished third in league scoring a season ago. Napoli could also make a push for first with the likes of newly acquired Michu from Swansea, World Cup standout Gonzalo Higuain, and Dries Mertens, Rafael Benitezs squad could prove to be tricky to their major competition. Inter Milan is looking to improve from their fifth-place finish by adding striker Daniel Osvaldo from Southampton and strengthening their defence with former Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic, and Chiles World Cup iron man Gary Medal. AC Milan had a disappointing eighth-place finish in the Serie A last season, but with Milan legend Filippo Inzaghi being named manager, the addition of Fernando Torres, and the departure of disgruntled star Mario Balotelli, theres a reason for the Rossoneri faithful to believe. Does Juventus have enough in the tank to hold off AS Roma for another Scudetto or will another team emerge to take the Serie A title away from the 30-time champion? As always, its Your! Call ' ' '
