Quick post. Bryan Colangelo introduced Ed Davis and Solomon Alabi at the ACC on Monday. Colangelo definitely sounds like a man who is trying to build a different roster than last year, he's speaking of the upcoming team as something brand new based on the DeRozan and Weems era, not the Chris Bosh one. He…
How Bosh has managed to transform the public's perception of him from "good player tired of losing" to "greedy attention-seeking diva" is truly a thing of beauty. He has handled the 2010 free-agency period about as poorly as one can. Whereas Dwayne Wade and LeBron James have met with other teams without alienating their existing…
With players acting like high-priced escorts, the two days of free-agency has left many in a bit of a sour mood, myself included. What ever happened to loyalty? The biggest free-agent of our generation, Michael Jordan, didn't start shopping himself on the market after the Bulls lost to the Magic in the Eastern Conference Finals…
I'm very happy that Amir Johnson is returning to the Raptors, but let's start with addressing the "overpayment".

There is a fair bit of commentary about Davis' poor second season. So, how does Davis compare to the rest of the draft class and other two bigs we mentioned? His numbers stack up quite well against the two: Mr. Davis gets to the line more often, rebounds well and has the best block-to-PF ratio…
Davis was easily the best player on the board and it would have been a huge mistake to have passed on him. If you follow the theory of drafting by tiers, Davis was in a different tier from everybody else available at 13.
The selection of Davis was an easy decision since it was almost remarkable that he was available this late. Why did his stock drop? Three reasons.
The team at Raptors Republic has done a great job at breaking down our possible selections on the RR - so much so that it seems other popular mock drafts are copying phdsteve's selection of Avery Bradley in the 13th slot. However, the stats guy has a different selection at #13...
The TrueHoop Network is doing its annual Mock Draft, thought we'd share what's going on so far.
