Its not Mitchell's fault. They have a young team. Place some blame on the GM.

I think there is a new NBA rule, player has to be 19 years of age before you can be drafted.

they were talking about that yesterday at the fan590, slim chance of that happening since only Larry Tannenbaum really cares about raps everyone else like the teacher pension funds only cares about making the money and thats what Richard Peddie does....I really hope they get rid of this ownership thats cares about winning as well. They should sell to Rogers Sports

They should blow this whole team and pray to get another expansion team. THe Raptors don't have a quality back up centre let alone a starting centre. Woods, Arujo, and Williams don't even qualify as back up players. THey don't have a quality starting point guard, James is an adequate back up guard, and Calderon is the starting point guard for next year. They haven't had a quality 3 point shooter since Tracy Murray. THis team likes to shoot 3 pointers, but their accuracy sucks. They have no players who slash to the bucket like Vince used to back in the first couple of seasons. Chris Bosh, while being a good player, is playing out of position, unless he puts on 20 or 30 pounds of muscle, he will never be a top power forward in this league. Pretty much everyone is playing out of position, and the ones that are playing their natural position, they just suck. I went to a few games the first 7 or 8 seaons, but the last couple I haven't gone a single game and won't for the forseeable future. This team is a walking disaster, and until the management realizes that, this team is going nowhere.

I think you're right DQ, but why stop with just a new GM? Get rid of all of the front office suits - starting with Peddie.

Your Raptors have a few good players that can become the foundation
for a good team. But, to be honest, you need a new GM.
I'd trade off all but a few, go into the dumper, reduce salary
and start afresh. We did just about that and got lucky in
the lottery but also signed several free agents over a three
year span.

Unfortunately for my TO neighbors, the Raptors really do suck
and have a lot of work to do. But, you need a 5 year plan.

Ciao, amigos, Don.

You sound like Babcock ;)
We got rid of Grunwald and the players he brought in - Davis, Vince, Marshall, etc. Drafted some kids. Reduce salary. Now we're going into the dumper. Will get rid of more salary - Rose. Draft high next year. Have a lot of salary cap space in 06-07. Yeap, sounds like a 5 yr plan.
