    Even if you don't concede what he did with the Suns was phenomenal, then you surely can see the psychological impact his hiring has had on the Raps already.

    Guys like Bosh seem totally on board now and free agents are likely going to consider us as a serious option for them. I don't think this rep came without a good reason.

      like i said... BC > Babcock... but BC did nothing amazing... the suns missed the playoffs more then they made them with him at the helm... he wasnt that good, regardless... he lucked out with nash, bottom line

        Bottom line is that we are now regarded in much higher terms by our fans, players and other teams around the league.

        Whether or not this is due to luck as you claim, is another story...The important thing is his impact already has been significant.

          Diaw? Joe Johnson trade?

          Please dude. You're not giving him his due credit one bit.

            Yea....that Diaw trade (funny how its become Diaw instead of Joe Johnson trade) was well worth it....but more credit has to go to the MVP...those players could have easily bombed

              Thought this was interesting, after that comment I made...

              Toronto Likely to Trade Down

              Just a week after winning the draft lottery, sources indicate that Toronto general manager Brian Colangelo is looking to move the top overall selection to a team in the 5-10 range. Two players that the Raptors will target in that area are UConn PG Marcus Williams and Washington SG Brandon Roy.

              With the team's strength in the front court with Chris Bosh and Charlie Villanueva, a bigman such as Lamarcus Aldridge or Italian Andrea Bargnani make less sense. Also factoring into the equation is the fact that this is not a great draft to have the top overall selection, so a team such as Toronto could add a talented piece (veteran player) through trade and pick up a player in the mid lotto area who could end up just as good as the top pick in the long run.

              With a brand new (GM) job in Toronto, Colangelo has the flexibility to make any number of moves, and it looks likely that they will be the first team since the Boston Celtics traded the top overall selection to the Golden State Warriors in 1980.

              Lamarcus Aldridge appears to be the strongest candidate to go first for a team that moves into that position.
