    I really want the raptors to make the playoffs next year, and at the same time I really want to see Greg Oden being drafted by the Raptors. Should we just bomb it next year?

    Uhh, no? Its unethical to just bomb a season going in just to draft a really good player. What would happen if every team went and bombed the season to draft him?

    Besides the way the lottery works just because you have the worst record doesn't mean you'll get number 1.

    And why would you essentially turn your back on the fans? You need to have more integrity than that.

    No, we can be a good team without Oden. Were just missing a couple more pieces and we'll be in contention.

    Even, if Raptors supposily bomb this season or even if Toronto doesn't make playoffs even if they try, I don't think Stern would give Toronto the #1 overall draft pick. He invented the rule that no expansion draft team could get the #1 because Toronto had the #1 overall in 96 during that expansion year.

    Yes he did. ^ And why wouldn't you want to tank the season to get LeBron?
