Re: my thoughts on the Raps in the off season

The Raptors also have to fire Sam Mitchell, a defensive minded, tuff as nails coach, who doesn’t seem to gel with Toronto’s wide open, play no defense, shot the three style of play.
Hopefully they will unload Joey Graham and TJ Ford in the off-season and maybe get a big man in return.
Bryan Colangelo honeymoon is over, and he better start making good moves in the off-season or else Raptor fans will be screaming for the return of Rob Babcock (who built the current roster, Colangelo gets all the credit but he didn’t draft Bosh, Calderon, or Ford. Babcock even cleared the Raptors roster of that crybaby Vince “Wince” Carter.)
In fact I am willing to bet that Babcock, Grunwald, or even Isiah Thomas would not have picked a stiff like Andrea Bargnani number one overall.

First, lets give Bargs this off season to get healthy and work on his game before we write him off....he has shown flashes, if he gets some consistency he will be very solid. Second, I think it was Wayne Embry that traded Vince not Babcock. Third, you need to give a GM a few years to put his stamp on a team.
