I hope the Raptors win every game, but if it unfolds that the Raptors finish 9th or 10th, this year's pick goes to OKC, BC goes on his merry way, the roster is tweeked by the new GM, then the Raptors will be hopefully headed in the right direction. Happy New Year!

As well, Hollinger's Power Rankings have us at 16th overall, and 7th in the East, ahead of Brooklyn, Philly, Detroit, Boston, as well as the usual bottom feeders. His power rankings are used as a starting point for his playoff predictor. Since they do weight a team's recent 10 heavily, it makes sense that the projection shows us gaining a lot of ground over recent strugglers like Philly and Boston. I think 37 wins is halfway between realistic and optimistic, but sort of doubt that it'll be enough for the playoffs, even in the East.

*EDIT* Oh yeah, and Anthony Bennett but he is making himself a top 5 pick.Last edited by mcHAPPY; Tue Jan 1, 2013, 08:50 AM.

Looking through the draft, there are very few players that interest me. The ones that do are all C's and none peak my interest more than JV. If we are talking about buying a pick or packaging cash and a 2nd round pick for a high teen pick, then Otto Porter is the only first round pick that interests me right now (a lot can change in the next 6 months). DraftExpress.com has Porter at 16.

Agreed.
If the Raps make a good push, and continue their winning ways into Jan/Feb, then honestly, I thikn it could be very interesting.
Only thing that'd make that even better, is if we traded Bargs to another team for a player + Pick.
Like Okafor + First Rounder.
I wonder if Okafor would do well in Toronto. And then maybe Caldy for somebody else? Another pick? Reap in some picks?
