Raptors Offseason - I'm just putting this out there
First of all...THANK YOU to Chicago and Boston. Their game today and their game's 1 and 2 of this series are as good as any I've seen ever in a first round.
Anyway with Detroit now out and looking to rebuild I had a thought.
What if the Raptors traded Chris Bosh and Jason Kapono to the Pistons for Rip Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince. I would think Toronto would also have to swap 1st round picks to make this happen but it would address both the starting SG and SF issues. Give Toronto now 2 go to scoring options instead of one with bosh. Also it adds length and rebounding at the SF position and gives Toronto a slasher in Rip.
I would certainly try to get this deal done without swapping picks with the Pistons which might work considering the length of Rip and Tay's contracts. Keeping the pick, likely to be around 9, could shore up the backup PG spot landing the Raptors a PG like North Carolina's Ty Lawson.
The Raptors would also STILL retain the cap space they gained with Marion's contract coming off the books which they could use to lure somebody like Charlie Villanueva (16 pts 7 reb last season in 11 less min than bosh) , Lamar Odom or Mehmet Okur to Toronto to start in place of Bosh. They could then look to sign Anthony Parker to come off the bench at SG and also run the point as he did this season in a backup roll.
Not sure how much cap space they'd have but they could look at bringing Rasho or Delfino back or try to add a guy like Walter Hermann who is a free agent.
A starting 5 would look like this
PG - Jose Calderon
SG - Richard Hamilton
SF - Tayshaun Prince
PF - Charlie V/Lamar Odom/Mehmet Okur
C - Andrea Bargnani
Bench
Anthony parker or Carlos Delfino
Rasho Nesterovich
Kris Humphries
Roko Ukic
Marcus Banks
Nathan Jawai
Quincy Douby
Patrick Obryant
1st round pick
Obviously the biggest obstacle is signing somebody at a reasonable rate to replace bosh. Then using the rest of the money to bring in guys to round out the bench.
Just a thought and probably a real long shot.

Album Review - Metric - "Fantasies"
This Canadian Indie Rock quartet's first record in four years has an electrophile slickness, not to mention a set of catchy songs. Fronted by lead singer and resident rock’n roll hottie Emily Haines, this band had a lot to live up to after their critically acclaimed last album “Live It Out”. So the question going into this album was - were they able to live up to the hype they created for themselves as one of most relevant Indie bands around? And the answer is YES and then some.
The album opener “Help I’m Alive” is an excellent kickoff to a three song stretch that reels the listener into the deeper tracks on Fantasies. Emily Haines’ voice is unadulterated ear candy, her raspy whisper threads the verses wrapped around the golden sweet anthemic choruses that fill this record. The obvious choice for second single “Gimmie Sympathy” has Haines begging the question “Who would you rather be? /The Beatles or the Rolling Stones.”
The closer, “Stadium Love”, kicks the shit out of everything I’ve heard so far this year.
Mixed in between some of the lusher tracks like “Twilight Galaxy” and “Collect Call” are heavy hitters like “Gold, Guns, Girls” and “Satellite Mind”.
Everthing on this album is done to perfection. The guitar riffs are in the right spots and never overstay their welcome. The Synths add depth and layers that I haven’t heard in a very long time.
Start to finish, Fantasies will easily make top ten lists in 2009 for its accessibility, incredibly strong writing, and precision production. It is, and I say this without reservation, simply excellent.
Fantasies is a hell of a lot of fun to listen to and is by far my favorite album of the year so far.
Download these – “Gimmie Sympathy”, “Sick Muse”, “Twilight Galaxy”, “Gold Guns Girls”, “Help, I’m Alive”, “Stadium Love”, “Collect Call”, “Blindness”, “Satellite Mind”.
