The NBA can have the Raptors franchise back
The NBA has treated the city of Toronto and those dinosaurs that the city calls a basketball team and it all started after the first season when the Raptors won the lottery and should of had their chance at A.I. (Alvin Iverison) just like the Orlando Magic did when they came in to the league in 1989 and before their fifth season when they had Shaq fall into their laps. The Raptors were only allowed to pick second best and got Marcus Camby instead and even though I would not want him we could of gotten something for him if they could had him.
Then there has been the Chris Bosh situation when they let his contract run out and got nothing for him just like the Cavs did with Lebron James but at least the Cavs got the first overall draft pick which happened with a lottery ball they got from the LA Clippers and ended up with the first and fourth draft picks the year after he departed. Then the next season New Orleans Hornets traded Chris Paul and then jumped 6 spots and jumped the Raptors and got the first overall draft pick and now the Orlando Magic traded away their next superstar Dwayne Howard and will probably get the first overall draft pick even though they will not be the worst team. Then it looks like the Washington Wizards are the worst team in the league and will get the most balls in the lottery and will be No.2 and with the Raptors only able to protect a lottery pick (first three picks in the draft) so they can only likely get the third pick and will have a one in 12 chance to get the pick and if they do not get the third pick the pick goes to the New Orleans Peacocks who will likely get the fourth overall pick as the NBA wants to be nice with the New Orleans Saints owner who now owns the Hornets who will soon be called the peacocks.
So if the NBA wants to continue to make fun of the Raptors and not allow them to be abale to play on a fair playing field they should take the team and put it somewhere else where they wants to succeed like Seattle and not let the Raptor franchise die the slow death that has begun at the ticket window.
