The talk is that if that deal happens, it's a straight up trade of the #1 pick for their #3 and Brevin...since Chicago is (apparently) sold on Thomas with #2.
Toronto supposedly feels that such a deal is not even worth it, nevermind tossing in Alvin too...i.e. Toronto wants more than just Brevin in return for giving Charlotte the guarantee that they get their guy.
But...that's all just talk
1.5 hours to go!

The only untouchable imo is Bosh. Every one else is fair game in Colangelo's eyes as long as the right deal comes his way, in my opinion.

^^^ I will boycott the Raptors next season if they trade MoPete...anyone else but him and Bosh...if the deal is right.

Bargnani it is.
can't really complain at all...though I don't think the Raps are even close to done...a veteran PG for sure (Claxton?)...and probably another C to backup Nesterovic.
who knows...maybe more draft drama if they make a trade?

Last thing I want is a bunch of Italian bandwagoners jumping on the Raptors bandwagon because of this. I can already see the upper bowl at the ACC being filled with a bunch of Italian kids waving their damn flags screaming "FORZA ITALIA" at every game.
Good pick though. I'm really excited about next season.

I really like this pick. I can't wait to see the Raptors this season. Bosh, Villanueva, and Bargnani should be a wicked force in the next couple years.

awesome.
glad they stuck to their guns with this guy, i see big things from him in a couple of years - definately a possible 20ppg, 7rpg, 4aspg, 2blks.

Would've been cool and all, but bottom line you gotta pick with your head and not with your heart when it comes to sports. Every single move Colangelo has made so far has been incredible, and he single handedly has turned this franchise from one of the least appealing to most intriguing destinations in the league.
