    I remember when they acquired Maceo Baston in the 06-07 season and everyone thought he was going to become a rotation player and really help the team. Guy couldn't off the bench. Michael Bradley.... man he was terrible. Marcus Banks was probably the most useless player in the NBA. How many times did his contract get traded just so deals could happen? 3? 4?
    lol... the amount of players somebody tried to convince me would be a solid contributor and they turned out to be duds is astronomical..

    Fred Jones
    Juan Dixon
    the consistent year after year of "oh, this will be Joey Graham's year. He's the hardest working raptor in practices"
    the 3 minutes of "Quincy Douby is the real deal"
    the whole "Hassam Adams is going to be our defensive specialist"
    That horrible experience that was Hedo
    There was a large chunk of people who had faith in Kapono despite his inability to not drag his feet when he WASN'T dribbling

    hell, it wasn't that long ago that they tried to convince us that Darrick Martin's guidance was the key to developing our young talent

      Had to double check that, because off the top of my head, I remembered more than 3... we actually had EIGHT MBs

      Mark Baker
      Marcus Banks
      Maceo Baston
      Mengke Bateer
      Marco Bellinelli
      Muggsy
      Matt Bonner
      Michael Bradley
      Wow. Next time I'll just write Marco instead of initials. Didn't know it would cause all this confusion
      BUT the pointless trivia is awesome.

              I STILL wish he was still on the team.

              The interviews with him alone were worth putting up with how crap he was.

                Hey, the Gangster was the real deal.

                I remember one game it looked like he raided the supply closet and put on every headband, armband, wristband etc he could find. Was awesome.

                      The list in Toronto is endless. Because of Bargnani, people often forget the worst Italian player ever to suit up in Toronto, my all-time favourite Raptor free agent signing and much hyped Italian hope: Vincenzo Esposito. El Diablo! The first player Toronto ever signed.

                      I'll tell my Esposito story. Back in the Raps first year, Damon Stoudamire had, in my mind, the greatest single game performance ever by a Raptor, lighting Gary Payton up for a triple double as the Raps stunned the Sonics, embarrassing Seattle. So, when Seattle showed up a couple weeks later, Payton went into GOD MODE, shutting down Mighty Mouse and destroying the Raps. Esposito came in to get Damon out of there but Payton didn't care. Esposito had 6 turnovers in 18 minutes, including back-to-back charging fouls drawn by Payton............. at half court! I remember turning to my buddy and saying, "that's how awesome I am when I play against my 5 year old nephew". Vincenzo Esposito everyone!

                                I remember him. But, I don't remember seeing any of his interviews.
