I do actually think the Raptors should retire VCs number as he is absolutely iconic to the era that really got the Raptors started. But I think the Raptor that deserves if most of all is Lowry who has led the team, and shaped the attitude and play style of the team throughout this modern era.

DeRozan I doubt will get a number retirement and Bosh seems like a no since if it hasn't happened yet when are they going to retire it?

Vince and Bosh should definitely get their numbers retired, DeRozan should get to come in on legends night and have the crowd fawn over him every couple years like the Nuggets do with Fat Lever.

Boylen may be a bad coach but there's not exactly a wealth of guys to replace him. Fizdale or Atkinson maybe? Would either of them want to take another rebuild job?

Reinsdorf doesn't want to pay 2 coaches apparently. But yeah Karnisovas is a big fan of Wes.

Edit: Wes has been okay in Denver being in charge of the defense but they have looked very bad on that end this year during the bubble.

i thought 2009 with billups was the year of destiny

I just remember him doing stuff like playing Boykins alongside AI for long stretches. Benching starters in 4th quarters because he had some minor squabble with someone. George was an okay offensive coach but his terrible attitude was a detriment. Years later he writes that book and everyone on that team came out and said they hated him.

You mentioned Lawson's alcholism, but what makes it even sadder to me is that it seems pretty clear he's been an alcoholic since his college days, at the latest. He got cited for driving slightly under the legal limit while still in college, and then he kept not showing up to court dates for other incidents of reckless driving. Seems pretty clear he was just driving drunk constantly for years and years and years.

I will be a George Karl Defender when it comes to those Nuggets teams. It's not like he had a huge amount of talent and squandered it; he had depth, but that was about it. The year they won 57 games, Gallo was their best player, and he didn't play a minute against the Warriors. The next year, without Karl, Iggy, or Gallo, they won 36 games.

I dunno I think he squandered the AI team. The starting 5 was pretty great: lots of scoring punch with AI and Melo, tough interior defense with K-Mart and Camby in prime DPOY form and then he had prime JR and Nene coming off the bench. Of course they lost in the first round.

I will believe the Warriors are done when I see it, there's no reason to think they won't be competitive next year. I hope I'm wrong cause I hate the Warriors but they won a title with this core once already.
