WTF is gonna happen in Toronto next season....

This is a super sensitive topic amongst the Raptors nation, seriously. One of my best friends in the world who I grew up with Sean, who now resides in Vancouver, calls me almost every other day to rant about these guys. I actually love hearing him and his thoughts cause the guy has mad love for his hometown team and like myself has a real passion for the game.

Sean goes up and down with his thoughts on the squad and its players (in particular Bargs, lol) but like everyone else, Sean is thinking right now in terms of this franchise's future next season. So what is going to happen? Well until Thursday we all don't know what the movements are gonna be like, but this is BC's last stand in my opinion. His vision of a run and gun team needs to end, and this team needs the right personnel, coaches and players to change the system to a gritty NYK '94 system to get ish done. The winning teams in this league play like that, so why can't we?

The chances are, a lot of the guys on this squad could be gone very soon, leaving us with young, cheap talent. Weems, Derozan, our new UNC pick, to be some what of the core. Include some players who're making some money for us like Bargs, Amir (who's an unrestricted FA but should re-sign), Evans and Jack as the other dudes, you kind of have a squad that's athletic and can play some sort of D. Bring in some other young talent, who have an emphasis on D and are athletic, and I would personally be ok with that.

Cause we will be starting from scratch once again next season. I have always said this with the Raps due to the uncertainty of Bosh's situation, that we are literally one move away from being a decent squad and one move away from rebuilding (just like the Heat!).

Next seasons team will be weird assuming we don't sign or sign/trade for some great mid 20's talent. I would be happy to see some players blossom and a team that works hard next season. Raps nation better understand this from now! Unless Bosh/Lebron decide to sign here, no matter who we get in return from a team like Chicago, Cleveland or another trade partner like the Knicks, Houston, Jersey or even ummm LAL, we're still kinda #ucked....

I always hope for the worst in anticipation that things come out better then expected. Like on draft day I knew nothing would happen with the Raps, I mean not since the Grunwald era have the Raps made any moves of substance on draft day. But teams like OKC who are just ill, and are gonna be huge next season, are the most active on draft day. Bringing in new talent, freeing up cap space and bringing in some veteran talent (mo pete). Really kills me as a Raps fan..... Like why don't we wanna get better? Why can't we make some balls out moves? I am not saying you should appoint me GM but I am saying our GM needs to look at the landscape of the NBA, the teams that make the playoffs and notice common denominator's. I can go on forever with this but you guys get what I am saying.

This organization needs a real shake up after this summer from the ground up, I mean I'm not sold on our so called 'talent' scouts either, like seriously.....Nathan Jawani, Patrick O'Bryant (well he came in a trade, but you can't waive him or package him off for a 2nd rounder??). Let's see raps nation/brokeankles community what goes on.....
