Raptors to Fire General Manager

Just received this message. Finally some reorganization of the team happened. In one of my previous blogs I doubted it would be Sam Mitchell but now it turns out to be the GM Rob Babcock. I agree to the point that the Vince Carter deal of last season proved not to be in Raps' favour at all. Arron & Eric Williams didn't play, even they were on the court, they didn't make any change to the team's ball games. And Mourning didn't even report to the team when the trade was initiated, which was believed by many connoisseurs as quite unprofessional and unparallel to his experience in his career as a senior pro. Even had he come, he would have contributed a lot on the defensive end using his amazing toughness and shot blocking abilities. So the transaction was actually to send away the grunting Vince for nothing, far from what the fans expected that at least a star player would be swapped in. Now look at the raptors team, besides the young man Chris Bosh very near to the all-star caliber, who else is able to make a real difference? I do hope that before the trade deadline in February, the new GM would make some serious trades involving some players that the Raptors just don't need, and hopefully get some valuable players coming in to the town who can bring chemistry and catalyst to boom the team's performance as well. Otherwise I might even refuse to watch any of Raptors' rest games of the season.
