Howland on IR - RaptorsHQ Gears up for All-Star Break

by RaptorsHQ - Archives on Feb 17, 2006 9:58 AM EST

For All-Star weekend RaptorsHQ will be doing several feature articles while cheering on Chris Bosh and CV Smooth. In tomorrow's special edition media watch, we'll be looking at a trade deadline less than a week away, the All-Star Game and various other topics. In addition, we'll be taking a long and hard look at ESPN's continued ignorance towards the Raptors' franchise and the Toronto market in general.

Chapman and Franchise will be holding down the fort in the next while as Howland makes an Amare Stoudemire-esque recovery from recent ACL and MCL surgery. From all of us here at the HQ we wish Howland a speedy recovery and have stocked him up with lots of college and foreign basketball tapes so he can do a little scouting while he's on the DL.

In the meantime, we'd like to hear from you. In the next few months we'll be making some changes to the site and we'd like to know what you, the readers, would like to see more of OR like to see period. More Jump-balls, draft discussions, interviews, photos, podcasts, forums, you name it...

Give us a shout and we'll try to incorporate your thoughts into the site as it continues to grow and evolve...

I would like to see the site feature special guest columnists. For example, I could write a piece on Embry making Legler his gimp, bringing him out when ZEnDon Hamilton stops by for a visit. Then again, we can't be too hard on Legler, after all he was killer behind the stripe in the old school Playstation NBA Live.

I'd personally like to see some draft discussions. I also think these discussions should be focused on the mid-first round cause these raptors can win some games in the second half.

As for the trade dealine, what can we get for Hoffa? A bag of peanuts? I'd take that and I'm allergic.

I would like some more columns on draft...and less on stuff like one hit wonders. You guys are doing an awesome job on the website. Even stuff on possible trade you would like the raptors to make, or not make would be great too.
