Let me summarize what Chauncey had to say to Kyle a couple weeks ago when the Clips were in town. Here are the keys to the car. Don’t crash it …… again. To read Billups fatherly advice to Kyle, click Chauncey’s card.
As the question states, do you think BC’s time as the Raptors general manager are numbered? If so, given the limited available GM’s out there at the moment, who would you want to see replace him?
…… as the key to winning and offensive production. Come and check out Matt52′s analysis which would explain why Lowry isn’t the problem regarding our offense, but how he’s regressed in not playing as the same player which made him successful in the NBA as a possible contributing factor.

Tanking seems to be the common cure for all Raptors fans over the years. Yet nothing has really significantly changed. You has fans, have you bought into the tanking rationale? Come share your two cents.
Regardless if we make the playoffs or not, has this franchise finally made strides forward instead of drowning in mediocrity for years? Do we have a reason to be excited in the future or we just lucky at the moment and bound for tougher times down the road once again?
Report from a Lithuanian media outlet is that Linas might not only be done for the season but his future in the NBA in general also be in doubt. So for the couple Kleiza fans out there in Raptorland, you might have seen him for the last time in a Raptors uniform. Thoughts?
ESPN’s Chris Broussard reporting a deal with the Suns to acquire Telfair is done. In return the Raptors ship off Hamed Haddadi to Phoenix. More details to follow.
Just a couple of the names thrown around from ESPN’s Broussard. I guess Lucas isn’t PG enough for us as a back-up or Colangelo’s just looking for insurance incase Lucas or Lowry go down with an injury. Thoughts?
In Lithuania his face is on water bottles. In Toronto he rots on the bench. Reports from his homeland have the Raptors looking for a suitor for Linas. Keep shopping guys because the likelihood of us finding that suitor are slim to none at the moment. Thoughts?
After listening to Tim's interview I feel a refreshing sense of hope regarding the Raptors. Irrespective of how the team plays this season it seems that a foundational change is on the horizon, which will hopefully result in a complete overhaul of the team and its league wide perception. I'm a lifelong Raptors fan and will continue to be one regardless of wins/losses or playoff position. I do feel we have some strong pieces, specifically JV, with whom the franchise can build its future. I've seen the game enough to know that the best NBA players all share some common characteristics which include determination, intelligence and a burning desire to win. JV embodies these characteristics they're plainly written on his face any time he's in the game. We need to pair him with a high quality power forward and a traditional point guard. I know a lot of people don't like Derozan but I actually think he's developing well and seems to have a strong understanding of which areas to improve on. Rudy Gay and Bargnani need to go and we need to develop a deep bench which could potentially be anchored by TRoss but for that we would need to get much much stronger. Toronto needs to stop acting like some kind of second rate team. We're the fourth largest market in North America, the city continues to gain recognition along multiple platforms and we have a fan base second to none. Lets hope Tim can deliver.
