With the trade deadline looming, all the GM’s/agents in the league will be in the same city for a couple days in a row, somethings going to happen. For the Raptors, that something might center around Calderon.
Raptors look to make it four wins in a row tonight against the Sixers before heading into Boston on Friday.
The Raptors wrap up their 2nd 4 game road swing in the last two weeks in Philadelphia; hoping to go 2-2 before heading back home.
It took 2 overtimes, Bargnani waking up, Jack and Barbosa scoring like machines, but the Raptors beat the Sixers at home.
If there is anyone who scares me when it comes to dealing Bosh, it’s Pat Riley. I know Colangelo wont give away Bosh, but Riley squeezed blood out of a stone on that Jermaine O’Neal deal, no telling what he could do on a Bosh one.

I have a feeling Amir will come to Jose’s aid if KG starts yapping again. On a scale of one to Chris Brown, how upset/mad/depressed/pissed-off/violent were you feeling after the Charlotte game? Terrible. Just terrible. There was one positive that came out of it though: timing. We got that game out of our system before …Continue Reading
After a pitiful 33-49 season, Colangelo replaced two starters, the first five guys off the bench, and 2 of the last 5 at the end of it.
