I know this gets beaten to death......and soon this thread will be terrible, but its fun at first. Fact or Ficiton Mike James will resign with the raptors?
Fiction, Mike James will end up signing a big contract to a team desperate for a PG. Will Bosh average 25 , 10 and 2 blocks/3 assist Next season
Fact, He's already avging close to those #s, i don't see why it won't go up.. Though i think his rebounds will be around 11-13 hopefully. FoF - Mo Pete is going to raise his game another level next season and try to become that 2nd option if Raptors fail to sign or trade for a key player.
fiction: mo pete is having a career season and it goes downhill from here on in. fact or fiction? sam mitchell will still be coaching the raptors this time next year
Fact: I think Colangelo will either extend his contract during the summer OR let him be a lame duck coach. If the team doesn't improve with any off season acquistions then they could get rid of Mitchell and point the finger at him. F/F: Colangelo will be named exec of the year this year, though as a member of the Raptors for his work with Phoenix up to and including trade dealine.
Fiction: Although, there is a close relationship between Bosh-Mitchell, I doubt Colangelo won't make any coaching changes. F/F: Charlie Villanueva will become the 2nd option next season and will lead the sophmores in scoring.
Fiction: He will definetely be in the Top 3 but I see Paul increase in scoring a bit too and also I see some of those guys with a lot of potential really break out next year. Ex. Marvin Williams maybe Fact or Fiction: Raps will finally make playoffs next year
Fact. If not this summer, then next summer. I just don't see him leaving. F/F: The Raptors don't make any key free agent signings this summer and save the money for next summer.
Fiction: BC will figure something out for the season remainding. FoF: Milt Palacio will come back and own the league.
Fiction: I say More around 16-8-1.2 Fact or Fiction: Joey Graham is a starter by the last week of the season
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting P.A.P.:</div><div class="quote_post">Fiction: I say More around 16-8-1.2 Fact or Fiction: Joey Graham is a starter by the last week of the season</div> Fact: Since Colangelo wants to evlauate the youngs, it wouldn't be a stretch to see Joey G starting, plus, he was starting at the begining of the year anyway. Fact or Fiction: Araujo is done with the Raps
fact, he doesnt fit the system that colangelo is going to build, and he's garbage anyways. pap sow will get his minutes FoF alvin williams will be our amnesty player this off-season
Fiction, Alvin Williams Contract comes off the books in 07 assuming he picks up his 06 player option. Therefore he would be of value to the raptors as trade bait in 06/07 year for teams looking to get rid of contracts and pick up cap space for the next year. Eg. Kelvin Cato this year. f/f Raptors make the play-offs next year?
Fact. I see us adressing the Big Man need via Free Agency. Fact/Fiction, MoPete will get his number retired by the orgnization?
Fiction- I love the way Mo has stepped up his game and become a consistent contributer on offense, plus I think he has been awesome on the d and his energy is great......but MLSE hasen't even retired a Hockey players jersey since Sittler, so I think they will save the first basketball jersey for someone who leads us to the promised land (maybe eventually Bosh?) Fact or Fiction Joey G develops into a defensive stud next year, while providing quality O (say 14-16 ppg).
fiction: joey g doesn't have the nasty quality to be a defensive stopper, the offenseive numbers i project at 8ppg fact or fiction: jay triano is the next coach of the raps (remember steve nash endorses triano and u know that colangelo has to respect that)
Fiction: BC realizes that we've already been through two rookie head coaches and both have produced underwhelming results.... he also stated that he'd like to keep Mitchell (probably only to appease Bosh) so if actually does bring in a different head coach, he'd most likely bring in someone who we at least know is better than Mitchell... Fact/Fiction: The hiring of Colangelo will actually turn out to be a blunder
