A 2 and/or a 3 who can shoot and play defense consistently would be nice. I like Parker (forgot about him in my post above) but I think the Raptors need someone to provide that from the bench (Peterson is nice and I hope he sticks around).

those of us who've been around these parts for years will know what the true story is, but suffice it to say that the 'peripheral' fans are satisfied with colangelo. i don't know whether that says more about colangelo or the fans. but either way, it doesn't much matter imo.
10 kinds of off-topic, but holy elitist, Batman. In response, Babcock never would have made the moves Colangelo did. But that's just my opinion. He was a horrible GM and I'm glad he's gone. Colangelo has a track record of doing what he needs to to succeed.
