Going into the offseason things raptors need to do!

Chad ford knows nothing about basketball

that may be true ... just giving you a general sense of how bad this guy is. Maybe hes better than 79th .. but how much? DraftXpress has him #87 ...
And yes, I saw the shot (after he was handed a gift by a terrible call on an obvious block the play before). This guy screams good college player that doesnt translate. I predict hes an assisant coach in college in 3 years .. ala Steve Wojohosky

eric bledsoe or trey burke, with jose as the backup

Craft is faster and smarter and plays better d I like trey but I think craft is the 2

Did u see the shot ? Remember who called it first

1. Bryan colangenlo needs to go
2. Draft Aaron craft doesn't matter what it takes get that draft pick.
3. Trade bargani

No thank you.
First .. we have no picks, unless we luck out with a top 3 pick. There is no way in hell we use that of Craft
2nd, there is a good chance that he doesnt get drafted in either round and we could just get him as a free agent (ranked 79th on Chad Ford's big board right now)
3rd . and most important .. this guy doesnt have an NBA game .. we should not be doing anything to get him

1)As much as I could agree with anyone's reason to why BC needs to go, that time has not come.... sadly. The problem with firing BC is that you have to be ready to fire his personal. If you fire the "mastermind" behind the raptors so far, almost everyone on the roster, except for JV, will have to go because BC has played an integral role in designing this team. A new GM means a new style, not necessarily picking up the old GM's style of doing things or keeping the roster. Is this franchise ready for a full fledged gutting? In my opinion, the answer is no, that ship has sailed after Bosh left. The real time to question his legitimacy in the origination is what happens 2 years from now in regards to the how new star of the raptors, Rudy Gay, performs.

The best time to plant the oak tree in your backyard was 35 years ago. The second best time is now.

2&3) Trading Bargs is a problem. He is worth less than a piece of shit. I feel like we have to keep him on payroll till the free agency next season. Honestly the only place for him to go, is up. I means he's gone from putting ok numbers, to 11th-man numbers, its ridiculous! Its a wait for next season. If he still puts up terrible numbers next season, I feel like whatever we could have gotten in trade this year will be waiting for us next year. Thus if he even gets close to his old numbers, that would be redemption. feel free to hate me on that.

Due to the salary cap as well, i believe we can't add any players either this year, i might need a correction on that. So whatever moves we do in off-season MUST involve draft picks. This is the only way to add players other than direct deals. In regards to trade, i don't see any moves which might make us better, except for obviously trading Bargs. But if Bargs is excluded, any other moves would simply be a lateral exchanges, trading players of the same "stats" category.

Sadly this off-season we wait and hope for any internal growth. That second round pick, in my opinion, must fill the second-string point guard problem. A solid, high IQ, distributor with a 3-point stroke. I don't follow enough college or euro-leauge basketball to know who would fit, but that's what will help spacing the most. And no this is not an invitation to Jose, because this point guard must be able to run the up-tempo offence that the Raps run, not just incessantly dribble and be worried about turn overs.
