    He grades how every team did at the trade deadline and we're one of the few teams to not be ripped apart. He also admits he was wrong with his previous predictions and provides more evidence that Raptors fans will fanatically e-mail anyone who writes something negative about their team:

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"><font color=""DarkRed"">TORONTO</font>: A-plus
    Now here's a guy who knows what he's doing: Bryan Colangelo. And yes, I'm quietly rooting for the Raps, who have the most rabid fans of anyone in the league. I get at least five angry e-mails every day from Toronto about (A) the fact that I dismissed their playoff chances two months ago (you're right, it was a mistake), ([​IMG] the fact that I killed them for taking Andrea Bargnani over Adam Morrison (you're right, big mistake, Bargnani is good with a nasty streak), and &copy; the fact that I killed them for the T.J. Ford-Charlie Villanueva trade (the jury's still out on that one). You can stop e-mailing me. I like your team. I was wrong. OK? I was wrong! LEAVE ME ALONE, YOU BRYAN ADAMS-LOVING FREAKS!!!!</div>

    ahaha, i think the best part was that the majority of the teams got the grade F minus and he refered to the NBA as the No Balls League.

    lol, @ Bill Simmons getting emails from some angry Raps fans. I guess some Raps fans feel they have to stand up for their franchise, because no one knows about it.

    EDIT: I'm reading the entire article, which is actually pretty funny and he brings up some interesting point. Especially seeing all the Fs, the F-minus minus minus minuses. lol

    The funny thing is, he didn't mention one thing about the Dixon/Jones trade.
