Even in the Raptor's long history of baaaad GMs this guy stands out as the worst one.

Flip Saunders looks like he may lose Pek this summer and Love the next. What a fitting move for him to promote someone who shouldn't be allowed near any team's front office EVER to VP status.

With the 8th pick of the 2004 NBA draft, the Toronto Raptors select Rafael Araujo

Just when you thought the nightmare was over, he trades Vince Carter for essentially Joey Graham

Since the article is about Rob Babcock, probably best to post a picture of Babcock instead of Flip Saunders.

Nurse is below average at best.
Masai is overrated.
I dont get how so many people believe in the raptors,they have zero to chance to win it all.
