Not the best year for a #1 pick but who cares!?@ #1 pick is a #1 pick. Provided we keep the pick and don't make a huge mistake, it's pretty guaranteed that we get some type of impact player. And with Colangelo making the decisions, I'd say we're in pretty good hands.
I don't think anything this good has happened to us ... ever. I think most likely we'll be trading this pick for something of value.
Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss I hope we don't use it on Morrison personally. I would make a comment about it being too bad this isn't 2007 but that would just be being ungrateful!! Wow, who did we send? What do you guys think about trading the pick with Mike James, to Chicago for their 2nd and 16th, with Moe Petterson or just trading it in general?
Wow!! Raptors are gonna be good. Charlie V, Bosh and Alridge will be a pretty good front line for years to come.

Calangelo's going to model the Raptors to play small ball and be the next Phoenix Suns..Alridge is going to be a perfect fit.
the draft is sub par, nonetheless, leverage is an important part of the draft, especially considering the uncertainity of the draft which means we can control the entire draft. i say trade it along with with jose caledron for their first round pick, luke ridnour and johan petro
johan petro? dont you think we can get something else besides him...like danny fortson or a Chris Wilcox
Well unless some how Aldridge puts on a ton of muscles like how Dwight did, i really don't see Aldridge being able to play Center in the NBA but he can get away with it from time to time. Plus wasn't Aldridge a former teammate of Bosh in highschool or something?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Dabigboshdog:</div><div class="quote_post">johan petro? dont you think we can get something else besides him...like danny fortson or a Chris Wilcox</div> wilcox is a FA; fortson has a hefty price tag beside his name, plus he's got way too much drama attached to his reputation
whaaaattt..i had a feeling that this would happen..i even made bets nyways please dont say lets gay morrison..this guy doesnt seem that good to me My first choice is Tyrus Thomas--this guy is nuts. He's the big man we need Second Choice--Aldridge--nice PF but hes like bosh on defence Third Choice- Rudy Gay however--if we can trade the pick to maybe Portland in exchange for Telfair and their pick--that would be great we can maybe evne add Joey or Hoffa in that trade

From what I hear Andrea Bargani is who Colangelo wants. Congrats on the #1 pick overall. I really feel Adam Morrison would be your best fit for the scoring effort.
well..i have watched some clips of him and i honestly think he can play C. He sort of reminds me of Amare Stoudamire. He's a shot blocker and does not shy away from rebounds. He's also physical---which is what raps need.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting PlaTsanity:</div><div class="quote_post">^ lol bulls fan</div> Hey, you want Tyrus Thomas. I want LaMarcus.
If Colangelo wants Morrison, he can easily trade down. Morrison, to me, isn't deserving of the number one pick. I wouldn't waste it on Tyrus Thomas, either. I think Thomas should've stayed at LSU one more year. I think Toronto should go for Aldridge. Chris and LaMarcus will be one hell of a big man combo down the road. You throw in Villanueva at the 3, that's one tall lineup.
