Re-signing Chris Bosh is not enough

What would it be like? Would it be as dark as some make it out to be? Would the Raptors be reduced to the NBA equivalent of a wasteland, or would it just be a bump in the road towards what seems to be the eternal destiny of this franchise - mediocrity? Stepping out of…

Absolutely no news out there today, so no Morning Coffee. Instead, tell us what you think on a few topics.

Raptors dormant on Deadline Day

I doubt a home loss to a Memphis team playing on a back-to-back was going to make Bryan Colangelo pick up the phone and make a deal, because if he felt the team was lacking what it needed to achieve its objective, he would've addressed the issue by now. What that objective is can be…

Should Chris Bosh’s #4 be retired at the ACC?

Steve doesn't agree and you can listen to him and his rebuttal at WhoTheMan.com. He's up against the DinoNationBlogger who, as great as a guy he is, is out to lunch if he thinks Bosh is worthy of having his numbered retired based on his accomplished as of today.

It could be a tweak for salary cap reasons or it could be a mini-overhaul of a position, the rumour mill has us interested in Josh Howard, a player that was mentioned last year around this time. You…

Quotes from practice – Jan 26

Let’s hear from the Republic: 1) Pretty much in agreement that Hedo has been disappointing. Assuming he isn’t moved by the deadline, what do you do with him? Continue to start? Bring him off the bench? Shrink his minutes? 2) We all also agree that the Hedo commercial is horrible. Now it is your turn…
