Jaimoe Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 According to Eric Smith from The Fan - who was at the Raptors press session today - the Raps have narrowed it down to two: Bargnani and... Morrison. Smith talked to team reps and they indicated to him that they are looking at Morrison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afro poppa Posted June 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 wow really eh?I could see them taking Morrison and surprising everybody...there is no sure thing in this draft, I cant wait for tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I don't want them to take Morrison. Aldridge or Bargnani would be better fits, although Aldridge plays a similar game as Bosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afro poppa Posted June 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 What do you think of the rumour of them trading Charlie V straight up for another top 10 pick so they can get a PG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 What do you think of the rumour of them trading Charlie V straight up for another top 10 pick so they can get a PG?Depends on who they get at #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chameleon Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 They just signed Charlie V through 2008. Thank god, trading him for another point guard that isn't a sure thing would be another clossal Raptor's fuck up.So far Colagelo seems to have a brain, where his predessors didn't.Good move..

afro poppa Posted June 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 We shall see what the Raps do with Charlie V. Personally there are a few trade rumours that I wouldn't mind seeing like Mike James sign and trade, pick, Charlie for Allen, pick, and a PG or even the TJ Ford, Magloire for pick, Charlie trade rumour. I think whatever happens Colangelo knows what hes doing, all I know is I cant wait till 7pm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Is there a pre-show or do they start the draw before 8:00? I won't be at home tonight and I have an hour to kill before a prior engagement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afro poppa Posted June 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 I think the draw starts at 7...or at 7 the clock starts on the Raps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 I'd be surprised if they didn't draft The Italian Dirk. I hope it won't be Morrison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afro poppa Posted June 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Yea I would too be surprised (and I think somewhat dissapointed) if it wasn't Bargnani. I would also not be surprised if they parlayed MoPete or Charlie into another top 10 pick and got Randy Foye, Brandon Roy, or Marcus Williams.

afro poppa Posted June 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 oh btw - Headline Sports will have a half hour preview show at 630 and then they will be showing 3 hours of the draft (the first round only I believe). Im happy that the Raps pick early because I gotta go funk out to some Maceo tonight as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 There is NO WAY they are taking Morrison, unless he gets flipped to Portland and they get their 4th pick and a ptguard or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 I can't speculate on draft deals. A lot of them are red herrings. If they get Foy somehow, I'd be pretty happy.Look for a late 1st round selection of Denham Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 (edited) I like Chuck as a play-by-play announcer. His Fan afternoon slot is improving, but he still sucks when it comes to dealing with callers and some interviews - in particular, his weekly chat with Barb Digiulo has to go. Chuck is really insightful however and knows his ball and puck too. Edited June 28, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
