For the second season in a row, three big men with underwhelming credentials are competing for the Raptors' starting centre job. Loren Woods, Rafael Araujo and Aaron Williams will begin the three-way tilt tomorrow night when the Raptors play host to the Utah Jazz at the Air Canada Centre in the NBA pre-season opener for both clubs. Last year, it was Woods, Araujo and Jerome Moiso going at it, with Woods winning the job before having his minutes significantly slashed during the second half of the season. "We'll try to give them equal minutes and see who does the best job," Raptors coach Sam Mitchell said</div>Source <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> The countdown to a long-term contract has begun for Chris Bosh. The Raptors can begin speaking to Bosh about a long-term deal next summer and he can expect to be asked about the chances of signing with Toronto all season. Bosh is signed through the end of the 2006-07 season. "It has to be in the back of my mind because that has to do with my future," Bosh said. "I'm always thinking about the future. But I (want to) make sure I take care of business right now, so I won't have to worry about it." </div>Source
