So, the Raptors should just go get a real, honest-to-goodness 5, eh? Hold on while Colangelo goes to Centres R Us and gets on. Oh, wait. The reason Toronto doesn't have a real, honest-to-goodness 5 (aside from Nesterovic, whose only flaw is that he's way too slow and slightly less athletic than Dalembaert) is twofold: (1) the traditional half-court set is meant to be a fallback option in their offense (they focus on pick-and-rolls/pick-and-pops); and (2) true, honest-to-goodness centers are hard to find and harder to trade for (unless your team is run by idiots like Chris Wallace or Jim Paxson). Toronto has a 5: his name is Rasho Nesterovic. And the only way the Raps are going to get another 5 is through the draft. If everyone's this hot for a 5, they should campaign Colangelo to trade up in the draft to get Roy Hibbert, who's a true, honest-to-goodness 5 and will be ready to take over Nesterovic's spot in 2 years when the latter's contract runs out.

So there you have it: Chandler, Dalembaert, etc. are unavailable and not coming to Toronto anytime soon. Roy Hibbert, though, could, with the right moves, be wearing number 55 for the Raptors next year and cleansing the number of its horrible Araujo karma.
