What the Raptors need way more then a destroyed Magic basketball is rebounding, defence, and a working time machine, so the Raps can go back to draft night 2007, and take a flyer on Andrea Bargnani, to select Lamarcus Aldridge, Brendan Roy, or Rudy Gay.
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.

Babcock might not have drafted Bargnani, but he did draft Hoffa Araujo.

and BC is responsible for ford, as i said in the other thread.

btw, there is an open thread already for your offseason thoughts.

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.

any idea what type of player B.C might target in return for Ford I think we need a guy like Maxciel a well built rebounding F Moon can be extended to a cap friendly deal, Premo off, Joey probebly package with TJ who is likely the Fa crop?
