Toronto, ON (SportsNetwork.com) - Guard Greivis Vasquez and forward Patrick Patterson, two key pieces to the Toronto Raptors run to an Atlantic Division title in 2013-14, were both given qualifying offers by the team on Saturday. By doing so, the Raptors retain the right to match any offer sheet the restricted free agents receive from another team. Both players came to Toronto in December as part of the trade with Sacramento that sent high-scoring forward Rudy Gay to the Kings. The Raptors went 41-22 following the deal to earn the Eastern Conferences No. 3 playoff seed. Vasquez averaged 9.5 points and 3.7 assists in 61 regular-season games as Kyle Lowrys backup with the Raptors. The four-year veteran led Toronto in scoring off the bench 25 times after joining the club. Patterson also played an important reserve role with the Raptors, averaging 9.1 points and 5.1 rebounds in 48 games as Torontos primary forward off the bench. The 25-year-old then tallied 10.4 points and 6.7 rebounds per game during the clubs opening-round playoff series with the Brooklyn Nets. The Raptors also extended a qualifying offer to guard Nando De Colo, who averaged 3.1 points and 1.6 assists over 21 games after being acquired from San Antonio on Feb. 20. J. C. Ramirez Jersey .

Its the latest in a long line of great moments in the fast-bowlers career. Here are six that have stood out... Trent Bridge tension (2013 Ashes) James Anderson sets off to celebrate the final wicket to fall at Trent Bridge in 2013 The first Test of the 2013 Ashes was a thriller, with 19-year-old Aussie Ashton Agars 98 on debut, Ian Bells first of three hundreds in the series, Stuart Broads lucky escape when not given out off a thick edge to first slip and Brad Haddins 65-run partnership with James Pattinson.Australias last-wicket pair took them to within 15 runs of victory, but up stepped Anderson - with nine wickets already in the match - to find the inside edge of Haddins bat through to Matt Prior. Umpire Aleem Dar wasnt convinced, nor were many of the England fielders who offered up a half-hearted appeal and belatedly reviewed the decision. The edge was confirmed and Anderson led a jubilant England charge in the outfield.Anderson loves bowling at Trent Bridge. In eight matches at the ground, hes taken 53 wickets at 19.24 apiece. Six of his 16 five-fors have come at the venue and both of his 10-wicket hauls.Dream debut (v Zimbabwe, 2003) James Anderson bowls another Zimbabwe batsman on debut at Lords He was raw, he was unconventional and he was wayward at times, but boy was he exciting to watch! Anderson had only played three one-day games for Lancashire when the 20-year-old was drafted in as a late replacement for Englands ODI tour of Australia. Impressive performances at the World Cup followed which meant that by the time the first Test of the 2003 summer came around, already a lot was expected of the newly-nicknamed Burnley Express.He more than delivered on those expectations, with 5-73 against an albeit far-from-testing Zimbabwe outfit. He bowled full, fast inswinging yorkers, castling four of his five victims.And long before Kevin Pietersen experimented with the colourful spectrum of hair dyes from his local Boots, Jimmy was setting the trend (if we want to call it that) by rocking some questionable highlights.Triumphant return (v New Zealand, 2008) James Anderson is mobbed by his team-mates after another strike in New Zealand Form and fitness had torn apart Englands troublesome trio of Steve Harmison, Freddie Flintoff and Simon Jones from the 2005 Ashes. Harmison was still around, as was Matthew Hoggard for Englands 2008 tour to New Zealand, but with the two returning combined figures of 2-272 in the first Test defeat in Hamilton, England moved on.Back in came Anderson, and Stuart Broad for only his second Test. Anderson took seven wickets at Wellington, including a five-for in the first innings, and he and Broad would go on to form the foundation for the golden era in English cricket that was expected post-2005.Three straight Ashes triumphs spanning 2009-2013 followed, including a first win down under for 24 years, and the number one Test ranking was also secured.Destroyer Down Under (Ashes, 2010/11) James Anderson celebrates the wicket of Ricky Ponting in the Adelaide Test The pinnacle of that England dominance was their first Ashes win in Australia since 1986/87, with Anderson comfortably the leading wicket taker in the series with 24 scalps.There were early signs of his impact in the drawn first Test which was dominated by the bat. Before Englands incredible 517-1 declared to save the Brisbane Test, Mike Hussey and Brad Haddin put on 307 runs of their own for the sixth wicket in Australias innings. It didnt tell the whole story as Anderson bowled one of his best wicketless spells of his career with eight probing overs of the highest quality to the pair costing just 14 runs.He got his rewards early in the second Test in Adelaide, taking the wickets of Shane Watson and Ricky Ponting as Australia were reduced to 2-3. It set the tone for the rest of the series and sent England on their way to their historic series win, despite a hiccup at Perth - which still provided a memorable Anderson moment when a chirping Mitchell Johnson was silenced.Beating Botham (v West Indies, 2015) James Anderson broke the England Test wicket record after dismissing West Indies captain Denesh Ramdin in Antigua Anderson overtook Beefy to become Englands all-time leading Test wicket taker during the first Test against West Indies in Barbados, with Denesh Ramdin becoming his 384th victim, almost 12 years after Zimbabwes Mark Vermeulen had become his first.ddddddddddddCook showed safe hands in the slip cordon to take the catch, while Botham was the first to congratulate Anderson, even promising the seamer an enormous bottle of wine upon his return home!Jimmy could not inspire his country to victory at North Sound, with hometown boy Jason Holder scoring a defiant hundred to ensure the game ended in a draw, but the leader of England’s pack propelled his side to a win in the next Test, in Grenada, with a quite outstanding display.Anderson had a hand in all six West Indies wickets taken on the morning of day five, dismissing Kraig Brathwaite - with an absolute ripsnorter, we must add - Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Marlon Samuels, before taking two crisp catches and running out Holder with a direct hit.Headingley heroics (v Sri Lanka, 2016) Watch the pick of the action from the third day of the first Test between England and Sri Lanka. Going into the match in Leeds, Anderson told an interviewer that he had wanted to turn round and go home when he arrived at the Headingley gates in the past, such was his record at the ground. However, three days and 10 wickets later, the Lancastrians feelings towards the home of Yorkshire cricket may well have softened.After England had made 298 in their first innings, Anderson came to the fore as Sri Lanka were skittled for just 98. He had Kaushal Silva caught behind in his first spell but it was his second that really impressed. The 33-year-old came back into the attack and, after taking the key wicket of Angelo Mathews, took full advantage of bowler-friendly conditions - nicking out Dasun Shanaka with a beauty - to finish with 5-16. If anything, Anderson stepped it up another gear in the second innings. Both openers edged through to Jonny Bairstow behind the stumps as, while Englands other seamers struggled to match their first innings showing, Jimmy looked to have the ball on a string.He bowled Kusal Mendis, who had made a half-century, and undid Shanaka again with another corker before wrapping up the innings, and the match, by making a mess of Nuwan Pradeeps stumps. 10-45 his match figures as he rose to sixth on the list of all-time Test wicket-takers. Watch as James Anderson becomes the first Englishman to take 400 Test wickets by dismissing Martin Guptill See if Anderson can turn in another match-winning performance as England take on Sri Lanka in the second Investec Test at Chester-le-Street from 10am on Friday, live on Sky Sports 2 HD.
