Toronto Raptors

bb_basketball · 05-16-2009, 03:29 AM

Like most expansion teams, the Raptors struggled in their early years, but after the acquisition of Vince Carter through a draft day trade in 1998, the team set league attendance records and made the NBA Playoffs in 2000, 2001, and 2002.
The Raptors eventually finished with a 33–49 record[91] and headed into the next season with a potential overhaul of the core: Marion could become a free agent; Bosh could become one after 2009–10; Parker would soon turn 35; and Bargnani had his breakthrough season. On 12 May 2009, Triano was given a three-year term for the position of head coach
Several changes to the roster were made before the 2007–08 campaign as Toronto sought to reproduce the same form as the previous campaign. Most notably, the Raptors acquired Carlos Delfino in a trade with Detroit for two second round draft picks,[79] and signed Jamario Moon [80] and three-point specialist Jason Kapono as free agents. 76ers are going to play with Toronto Raptors John Labatt Centre.

Face it, no star player wants to commit to a team in canada. Chris Bosh won't prove me wrong and would soon be a miami heat player.

Hopefully.

Good chance of it happening too if the Cavs don't scoop up Bosh to try keep LeBron happy.

I think the raptors have done fairly well. All things considered.

Especially after getting screwed by dipshits like Vince Carter and Alonzo Mourning. Cunts
