the Raptors can blame just about everyone as they offered up 15 turnovers, a range of questionable shots (while getting Bosh just 15) and the odd defensive brain cramp.
Toronto also gave up a fair share of offensive rebounds — the Knicks’ David Lee had three of his game-high five in the third quarter as New [...]

It wasn’t a matter of one or two games that convinced Colangelo that Delfino could handle the role.
"We feel we’re a versatile team all around," Colangelo said, "and you’re talking about a player in Carlos Delfino who has played that position in his lifetime.
"We feel comfortable moving forward and Juan was being asked to do [...]

6 games above .500…yup, you should like that, Liar.
This quote from Bryan Colangelo says it all, folks.
Pathetic in every way.

Juan Dixon traded for Primoz Brezec.
Expiring for expiring. Hope Primoz can bring some hustle in a contract year. Hasn’t done much this year for the Pistons, but neither did Delfino.
This pales in comparison, in true Canadian fashion, to the “other” big trade:
Cleveland gets: Ben Wallace, Wally Szczerbiak, Delonte West, Joe Smith, future second rounder
Seattle gets: [...]

Multiple league sources said last night the Raptor president and general manager tried to pry 32-year-old Joe Smith from the Chicago Bulls before today’s 3 p.m. trade deadline.
It’s unclear what the Raptors offered for the 6-foot-10 Smith, who’s averaging 11 points and five rebounds a game. However, the fact the offer was made suggests Colangelo [...]

Right now, Toronto is building around the core of Chris Bosh, Andrea Bargnani, Ford and Calderon. Once Calderon is signed, all will be under contract through 2010, when all this comes to pass. But with Bosh making the max, Calderon and Ford essentially combining to do the same, and Bargnani eventually commanding a significant deal [...]

Let’s take a quick look at this roster that has been put together for our quest to be mediocre by one of the best basketball minds in the business.
Andrea Bargnani - Nice to see his turnaround of-late. It will be interesting to see what he does after the break. Does he continue his attack-the-basket ways [...]

But the reality is that after a spectacular stretch of player movement – in which the Phoenix Suns topped the Los Angeles Lakers’ acquisition of Pau Gasol by trading for Shaquille O’Neal, inspiring the Dallas Mavericks to try to deal for New Jersey Nets star Jason Kidd – the Raptors can only stand by and [...]

"Given the nature of the situation that the city had to fight through, the tragedies that happened in the past, this is a little more special because this is part of the rebuilding process," said Toronto Raptors forward Chris Bosh, who started in place of injured Boston Celtic Kevin Garnett and scored 14 points and [...]
