    the whole purpose of a message board is too hear everyone's opinions [​IMG]
    i actually think antwan is a good offensive threat but he is not what TO needs right now, we need a pf or c that isnt afraid to bang with the big boys and that will get us 10+ boards a game

    Antawn would be a good addition to the raptors because the raptors are an awful team and virtually any starting NBA player would help them.

    Antawn is a big-time scorer and would take tons of pressure away from Vince Carter to dominate each game Offensively. Especially since VC tends to score in bursts, then go quiet for a bit. Another legitimate scorer would help keep other teams from running up the score on them when Carter isn't on top of his game.

    Antawn is a soft PF when it comes to defense and rebounding, but he'd still be an upgrade overall for the Raptors and his rebounding numbers would go up (guessing 9rpg) b/c he isn't facing anyone as tough in the post as; duncan/nowitzki/webber/wallace/ or even Karl Malone/Amare Stoudamire at the 4 each night (exceptions being Ben Wallace and Kenyon Martin).

    Bottom line is; the odds of Antawn ever joining the Raptors are minimal, but if he did, they could be a playoff team, barely.

    However, even though Jamison would help them win more games, they still wouldn't be in contention for anything above the 7th seed in the playoffs.

    i think that it's a very big long shot for vc and jamison to play together again. we are talking about 5 years in the future, you guys are thinking that the raptors will have virtually the same team, they won't. so in 5 years maybe they will have a banger at pf/c, you never know.
