CB4 is out. We are not signing nor drafted the new "guy, guy", so essentially since the franchises inception, the Raptors will be w/o a franchise player. That kind of sucks.....
It started with Damon, then Vince/TMAC, then it was all Vince until he got traded to the Nets and Chris Bosh took the keys to the car for the rest of the ride. Bosh's ride ends now and we don't have another existing guy who can really be the #1 guy or even the talent to be the #1 guy so what and how is this franchise going to suffer next season w/o a marquee presence!?
The casual NBA fan in the city of Toronto (that's a lot of people) will for sure tune out, ticket prices will most likely remain the same (well they are, I know....) so attendance will drop I think dramatically, cause people will say, "who the hell is that guy....and that guy, and why does that guy suck so bad....who's he, etc, etc..why the f##k am I here right now...ooh look @ the tasty over there....but seriously why am I here!?" Basketball in the T Dot doesn't pull the same weight as Hockey, so that consistent fan base and excitement is just something that will not be present next season, nor has it ever. The Raptors from a, ummm, marketing/economic perspective next season will have a hard time.
I feel eventually over the next few seasons we will sign or draft that next guy, every team in the NBA has "him" so we will get ours eventually. But no doubt the Raptors will have a rough road ahead not just as a team on the court but as a franchise in the front and back office of things.
Before I close this, just attacking any 'rebut les' as you read this:
-no, andrea/hedo are not #1 guys. andrea will never and can never be a #1 guy in the L simply because he's the biggest tweener I have ever seen in my life. hedo can only be the #1 guy in Turkey.....
-ed davis is not chris bosh
-at this point after this chris bosh debacle, we are not signing anyone. our GM has an ego and issues with being proactive. cause if your sitting and reading this and thought last season that chris would resign here.....then I respectfully ask, "get off my blog!!!"
-why wasn't bosh traded earlier in the year.....see above
-demar derozan......no
-our best bet to success is to model ourselves after memphis....seriously
-bryan colangelo isn't as good as advertised, in a buyers market....be that seller (I'm a trader, its a pretty simple concept)
-raptorstv should do like a retrospect on bosh and use that usher song...."Cause in the spotlight...with or w/o u babe...." Or however it goes....that'd be funny. better then those 'reggae' inspired commericials they play now
