Toronto forward Matt Bonner may not play in the summer leagues with the Raptors, but the restricted free agent is doing everything he can to remain in Toronto.

Bonner said he is optimistic things will work out with the Raptors. No players can sign until July 22, but teams can talk with players now.

"Toronto has enough room under the cap to sign me," Bonner said. "I hope it gets done soon. I want to be a Toronto Raptor for a long time."

"I've waited 25 years for this and I've worked hard to get to this point and sign a long-term deal. If I have to wait a few days, it's not going to kill me."
