and almost reposted it as well. My fav quotes.

When you look at the composition of the team, Turkoglu is by far the Raptors’ most accomplished player.

Did he forget they have Chris Bosh? Or is Turkoglu more accomplished because he went to the NBA finals last year? All Bosh has done is put this team on his back since he was drafted and basically avg 20/10.

Making the playoffs for this team simply is not good enough because GM Bryan Colangelo has done too good of a job of revamping his roster and revitalizing the franchise.

Personally I have a hard to seeing this team making the playoffs, even in the East. They have Bosh , Turkey, and Jose, but after them it is a pretty steep drop off in talent and/or experience. Andrea is overrated and soft as a Center which is where they will have to play him, Jack is a good pick up as a back up 1, but he has never really liked being a back up, here or in Indy he was moved because of it both times. They have no SG of any experience on the roster, and their Bench is non-existent.

This season should not be about getting Bosh touches or appeasing the team’s "franchise player’’ for fear of losing him.

This season should not be about having Bargnani settle for perimeter jump shots.

This season should be about managing Turkoglu’s minutes and making sure he is the first option in crunch time.

If Bosh were to get hurt, Bargnani, who will begin the year at centre, can easily move over to his position at power forward.

If Jose Calderon were to get hurt and continue to get exposed defensively, there’s Jarrett Jack.

And we thought our writers were bad. You have a franchise player, you make him happy, because they don’t come around that often. If Bosh bolts his offseason, then the Raptors are a 30 win team next year. Turkey is only a good signing if they resign both next summer, because after 2 or 3 years, Hedo will begin to fall off quickly. The Raptors GM has assembled a team that has a 2 or 3 year window to make the playoffs, but they won’t have much of a chance to advance, and that is a really short window. I don’t see what he is so excited about.

If he bothered to justify (or try to) some of the outlandish statements he made with a supporting paragraph, the thing might read much better. As it is, it looks like some dim-witted high schooler brainstormed about Turk and came up with a few silly assertions. What we see is the preliminary version. His teacher’ll hand it back to him for revision.

Man, can anyone get a job writing? Tuuuuuurrrible.
