The Bosh MVP thing was an obvious exagguration. Come playoff time this year I would take Sundin over Crosby, maybe next year that may change, but as of right now Sundin is the better player.

Re: Official Toronto Raptors 2007 Thread
This season has been incredible. I'm literally on the edge of my seat for every single game. It's so much fun to watch the raptors develop into a contender.
Does anyone else think that trading away Vince Carter in that one sided deal may have been the best thing that has happened to the raptors? For one, it's the reason why Rob Babcock was fired as GM and brought in Brian Colangelo. It's deja vu again as he's doing the exact same thing for Toronto that he did in pheonix. Amazing! not forgetting that trading away Jalen Rose to free up cap room prior to Brian coming helped out a lot. woooooooo!! as I'm typing this Toronto is up 13-4 against Detroit. I'm stunned! [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img] New Jersey is getting a taste of what Toronto fans have felt about Vince carter's work ethic for years and now there's talk that Vince will surely be traded before the trade deadline. I'm really glad we got rid of him as I'm really loving the players that we have now. Parker and Garbajosa is outstanding, Calderon is emergin as one of the great point guards in the league. Bargnani is going to be a force, he's going to be the face of the raptors for a long long time. Bosh is making a serious case for being the MVP this season and I agree. And Rasho Nesterovic is one of my most personal favourite players having another fine season. I hope we don't lose Mopete....

Re: Official Toronto Raptors 2007 Thread

This was huge. After Babcock botched the VC fiasco he was gunshy and couldn't bring himself to pull the trigger on another deal. He turtled and claimed he was restricted because they didn't have any cap space. It was incredible to see an experienced guy come in here and show how it's done. Jalen and his 15 million or so a year was gone 10 minutes after BC got here as well as all that dead weight chewing into the cap at the end of the bench (although to be fair I think Emery had the Rose trade locked before Colangelo got here). The best thing though was how he understandood this market. It's tough to get quality American players up here. I don't necessarily blame them - it is another country after all. Muticultural city? Fine. Off to Europe we go. We have the makings of a real nice team here. Good guys too - all of Babcock's wackjobs (Rafer Alston) have been ousted. This should be fun... finally. I hope we don't lose Mopete.... Yeah, me too. But he's probably a prime candidate for trade bait - or maybe one of the point guards. If Colangelo has demonstrated one thing it's that he's not afraid to make a move (just ask Charlie V.) Mo Pete may not be the most consistent guy on offense but he's a hell of a defender.

Colangelo likes to build his team around the point guards and it's the main reason why the raptors are doing so well this season. There's no drop off in production when the bench steps in. I think the raptors have one of the deepest bench in the league. A lot of teams are caught off guard and are now realizing how good Calderon is. Darrick Martin may be the sloooowest point guard int he league right now and we'll be holding our breath everytime he steps into the court if we lose one of our point guards.
