Big Things to Happen This Off Season
The Toronto Raptors have official been eliminated from the playoffs and are looking to re build. The Toronto Raptors organization has been though alot of issues this season and they finally got a GM who can stay with the team. We have a chance to talk to the GM to the raps today, and he said
"its time to rebuild, i no we hate these words, but if we want to be a playoff team next year we need to get our act together. I can tell that some players don't even want to play in Toronto. In my defense i would like to say be gone to them, we will go out in the off season and get our self players who want to play in Canada."
Then i asked him "what will happen in the off season" He said to me
"We have around 15 million to spend. I can tell you right now we are NOT going to mess with
Chris Bosh, Adrea Bargnani, T.J Ford, and Mr. Parker.
These players right now will NOT be move as we speak,
but the rest are going. We need to make space and we are losing 4 players to FA this year, and we are trying to get back one player Mo Pet, but i don't want to spend alot of money on him. If he picked to test the FA market, we will still try but mostly go after more players like him."
Then i asked him one more question "who are some key players you see coming to Toronto next season" He said to me
"We are going to try and get Jason Kupuno
He is by far a great player and we will love to have him on the Toronto Raptors, and we are also going to try Lewis, Hill and some more players. But right now i don't no whats going to happen, all i can say all my picks are up for trades and i do believe my first rounder is going to be a high pick since the awful season we had this year and also looking to trade Nesterovic, Humphries , Dixon and Jackson. We wont trade them for a bag of chips of anything we will do what ever the best deal is"
So overall the Toronto Raptors are looking to trade the first rounder in the 07 draft and also looking to trade players to re build this team. The Toronto Raptors have been official eliminated from the playoffs and the New GM of the Raps hope to get this team a top team in its division.
