First of all the
Raptors have one of the best GM's in the leaugue and one of the best/extensive scouting and coaching staffs in the league and are a team on the rise. Secondly, visiting players have seen the nightlife here and it's one of the best in North America and it's one of the most multicultural cities in the world.And other than McGrady bolting and Vince asking for a trade most other players have enjoyed playing here w/ more fan support here than in most markets.
Add to that VC signed a long term deal to stay here before being traded.Bosh has signed a contract extension, O'neil seems happy to be coming here.This guy should get his facts straight.IMO this is one of the more attractive markets to play in. Better than Memphis,Minnestota,Seattle,Atlanta,Milwaukee.NJ,Wa shington,Orlando,Indiana.Portland etc..........
