    I think we should take the chance and sign Julius Erving, aslong as he doesnt cost us too much money. Having an experienced and exciting NBA Vet as the GM will make people want to play for the Raptors, and im sure he wont be afraid to take some chances. Also, him and Vince seem to have a good relationship, which is obviously good when it comes to keeping Vince happy, and with the team. Our team is solid, we just need some depth at PG and Center.. if we draft Ben Gordon, or maybe Telfair as a project, id be happy. But we also need a Center who can either start, or come off the bench to relieve Bosh, and give Bosh some time at PF too. I wouldnt mind seeing a lineup off:

    PG Jalen Rose
    SG Vince Carter
    SF Donyell Marshall
    PF Chris Bosh
    C Eric Dampier (or someone of that nature)

    I think Dampier would be a GREAT edition. Then we can have the rookie PG, or whoever we draft come off the bench, and Alvin Williams can come in and play PG or SG, but I think we should try to dump him. I think the Raptors are going to be a good team in the East next year.

    Sup people...

    They considered Dr.J, but they're not going to hire him which is absurd. They're going to look at scrub assistant GMs

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The search for what might be the most important hire in the short history of the Toronto Raptors is into its second month, and the natives are starting to get restless for a warm body.

    Richard Peddie, the president and chief executive officer of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, which owns the Raptors, is under fire for supposedly butchering the process of finding the next general manager of the National Basketball Association club.</div>
