The Raptors missed the future super guard Dwayne Wade in the 2003 NBA draft, and selected power forward Chris Bosh, of course, this is not to say that Bosh is bad, I just said that Wade is more powerful, from the situation at the time, the Raptors' choice is also reasonable, since ancient times, whenever a star comes, it must be a Tianqu star, first of all, the appearance must be good, Wade looks mediocre, every day he looks simple, but look at Bosh again, the title of "Dragon King" is very suitable for him, The towering cheekbones, the pigtails that killed Matt, and the excitement of the punch, Bosh's bloody mouth that could fit two fists, all of them were amazing-

Those who level the world are the appearance of Ren Si!

Bosh is 211 centimeters tall, of which the length of the neck can account for 200 centimeters, - just kidding, Bosh plays the inside line height, but the body is not strong enough, belongs to the mobile big forward, flexible and accurate shots, the defensive end can't eat the kind of hard top inside, need teammates to help defend, in addition, Bosh likes to read since he was a child, from high school to college is a representative of the three good students, so Bosh has a forbearant personality, knows the etiquette, understands the overall situation, and is willing to sacrifice for the team, which is for Americans, Rarely, Bosh quickly became the team's interior starter as soon as he joined the team, averaging 11.5 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game with the Raptors this season.

It is worth mentioning that this season's Raptors signed a Chinese player with a two-year base salary, and the bus at this time was said to be the strongest player in the NBA at that time.

At the beginning of the season, the garbage dog Jerome Johnson was sent to the Knicks, and after playing one season, he retired, Bosh's interior partner Antonio Davis has shown his old age this season, and in 15 games he played, he shot less than 40%, so the Raptors sent him to the Bulls in exchange for Donyell Marshall and Jalen Rose, Marshall is 206 cm tall, belongs to the forward who can be inside and outside, full of impact on the inside, and can shoot three-pointers on the outside, There are three players in NBA history who have made 12 three-pointers in a single game, namely Kobe, Curry and this Marshall, this season Marshall played the best performance of his career, averaging 16.2 points and grabbing 10.7 rebounds per game, shooting more than 40% from three-point range!

Jalen Rose is a very efficient scorer, averaging 16.2 points, 4.0 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game this season while shooting just 41 percent from the field and 31 percent from three-point range

Antonio Davis ranks eighth in team history with 3,994 points, second behind Bosh with 2,839 rebounds, and fourth in team history with 405 blocks.

Carter averaged 22.5 points per game this season and shot 41.7%, which is not high, this summer, Carter's approach to forcing the palace management made Raptors fans and the media criticize him, which affected Carter to a certain extent, last season Wilkens resigned and switched to the Knicks, the Raptors pushed Kevin O'Neal to the position of head coach, if you want to ask me who he is, I can only tell you, I don't know who he is, The information that can be found now shows that he coached a team like the Raptors in his career, and he led this team to pieces, the Raptors have a good hand this season, but the head coach has no ability, resulting in the team only 33 wins in a season and missing the playoffs.

The new season of the Raptors has ended an era, Carter is dissatisfied with the team's inaction in recent years, forcing the palace team to trade himself, in fact, speaking of this paragraph, Carter and the management have problems on both sides, first of all, Carter's dissatisfaction with the management's inaction in recent years is the emotion that any player with a competitive spirit will have, but Carter's first thought is not to leave, but to help the management make suggestions, but these suggestions have been rejected by the management one by one, such as trading Nash to strengthen the lineup, which was denied, wanted Maddy, who had already made a name for himself, to return to the Raptors, was denied, and asked Dr. J Irving to be the head coach, which was denied, especially the last one, which led to the new Mitchell coach not wanting to have a good relationship with Carter at all, plus the Raptors already had the intention to cultivate Bosh, Mitchell added fuel and vinegar, and put Carter on the bench many times at critical moments, these emergencies caused Carter to be disheartened and asked the team to trade him many times, but the team did not take action until the beginning of the new season, they did not want to trade CarterIn the 20 games of the new season, Carter was only able to score 15.9 points, and all other statistics were below the career average, and the Raptors had no choice but to trade Carter!

On December 17, 2004, Carter was sent to the New Jersey Nets, where he was given Alonzo Mourning, Aaron Williams, Eric Williams and two future draft picks.

At present, Carter ranks third in team history with 9420 points for the Raptors, 6th in team history with 2091 rebounds, fifth in team history with 1553 assists, and third in team history with 534 steals and 45 blocks.

Alvin Williams was hit by injuries and retired directly, the new team Aaron Williams and Eric Williams are just an addition, the main target of the Raptors is Mourning, who knows that Uncle Mo will not hang the Raptors at all, and the report will not go, and the Raptors are forced to have no choice but to buy out Mourning.

As I said in the first chapter of the opening chapter, NBA stars almost don't want to see the Raptors, whoever has nothing to do will go to cold Canada to stay, and they have to go, so if the Raptors want all the development, they must work the draft, if the vision is not good, then the Raptors almost have no power to turn over, as was the case with the 2004 draft.

That year, the Raptors had the 8th pick in the first round, and they used that pick to select Rafael Arroyo, a big man who had only played in the NBA for three years and averaged less than 3 points per game, and behind Arroyo, there were Andre Iguodala, Al Jefferson, Josh Smith, JR Smith, Jamal Jamison, Tony Allen, Kevin Martin, Anderson Vallejo, Trevor Ariza......

In addition, there is a big man in the Raptors this season, he is the red Mamba Matt Bonner, who was the league's four major mambas, Bangshen is the No. 16 rookie in the second round in 2003, but he did not log in to the NBA after being selected, but played in Italy, averaging almost 20+10 data per game, signed by the Raptors this season, becoming an indispensable force in the bench, this season 82 games full attendance, averaging 7.2 points and 3.5 rebounds per game.

Speaking of Bonner, this person is more interesting, he has a very rare red hair, because he once played in Italy, so he and Kobe Bryant are in love, Kobe personally named Bonner "Red Mamba", technical characteristics, he will not do anything except open space to shoot three-pointers, and the defensive end is a big hole, which is thanks to Popovich's shot to save Bonner's career, otherwise other teams will be cut in minutes.

Bonner studied very well since he was a child, studied business in college, took the exam A+, his teacher did not understand him to play basketball, he said that Bonner is a business genius once in a decade, if he goes to Wall Street, he can at least pinch a million dollars in his hand, but in the end he went to play basketball, Bonner also has a characteristic, that is, he is very frugal, he has earned more than 30 million US dollars from the NBA in his ten-year career, and he is also a little rich, but Rao is like this, He goes to the stadium to play and takes the bus every day, no one has ever seen Bonner take a taxi to the stadium, go to KFC McDonald's to buy fast food and have to ask others for discount coupons, and never buy double-layer meat, but all players who play in the NBA, more or less like to collect sneakers, Bonner first entered the league is a sneaker contract signed with New Balance (NB), just the first year, NB gave Banner two cabinets of shoes, a few years later NB gave up Bonner, but Banner has been reluctant to buy shoes, Two cabinets of shoes for Bonner to wear for three years, and then there are three pairs left, Banner said that he has a good pair to wear at home, a pair of not so good to keep away wear, and a pair that can't be washed out for training, he joked that the least favorite thing in the whole season is to play in the finals, because at the end of a season, he has no shoes to wear......

Well, after the Raptors lost their core Carter this season, their record still maintained the level of last season, 33-49, fourth from the bottom in the East, and after this season, the Raptors began to make drastic reforms, trying to reproduce the glory of the Carter era!

In the offseason, the Raptors sent Alston to the Rockets and got the attacking Mike James, although this player is the No. 1 position, but he is a point guard who shoots first, to put it bluntly, the style of play is a bit unique, James played his peak performance in the Raptors this season, Averaged 20.3 points and 5.8 assists per game, which is also quite interesting, McJames became a free agent after this season, he was originally kicked from the Rockets to the Raptors, but after playing his value, the Rockets began to chase Mike again, this plot is exactly the same as Jeremy Lin a few years later, Mike James also shook the Rockets, verbally promised to return to the Rockets, but in fact signed a 4-year contract worth $23 million to the Timberwolves.

In 2005, the Raptors selected Charlie Villanueva, the no-eyebrow hero with the seventh pick in the first round, he suffered from generalized hair loss since he was a child, which made him lose all the hair on his body, therefore, Villanueva was very inferior when he was a child, and once had a precursor to autism, fortunately, basketball saved him, he refound himself in the world of basketball and won respect, but the process was also extremely hard, because Villanueva had no eyelashes and eyebrows, The sweat he shed after the exercise flowed directly into his eyes, and that feeling only those who have experienced it will understand, Villanueva relied on a stubbornness that did not admit defeat, and played a value at the University of Connecticut, and finally ranked seventh in the 2005 NBA draft and was selected by the Raptors, and Villanueva averaged 13.0 points and 6.4 rebounds per game in the new season.

Coming to the Raptors with Villanueva is Joey Graham, who was selected with the 16th pick, Joey was very famous in the draft, ranked first among all rookies in the NBA, and was known as the "poor man's version of James", but unfortunately, Joey did not convert the excellent physical fitness given to him by God into his energy on the court, although he can grab rebounds, shoot, and dunk, but in fact he is not proficient in anything, and his defense is a mess, compared to Artest, who is also physically strong, Joey doesn't seem to have the slightest defensive skills, he will only use his strong body to withstand defenders, that's all, so Joey came to Toronto with a huge aura, and started the first game to the fifth game of the new season, and as a result, these five games were scored by his opponent to score more than 120 points! Poor defense could only keep Graham on the bench.

The Raptors used a three-year contract worth $7 million to poach point guard Jose Calderon from Europe, this guy is a standard European guard with mediocre physical talent, solid passing, few turnovers, accurate free throws, not strong breakthrough ability, some three-point ability, mid-to-lower defensive level, he averaged 5.5 points and 4.5 assists per game as long as he played for Mike James off the bench in the new season.

Chris Bosh officially became the core of the team this season, and Bosh naturally lived up to expectations, averaging 22.5 points, 9.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.1 blocks per game, shooting more than 50%, such an excellent performance also made him selected as an NBA All-Star for the first time, this season's Raptors have a significant decline in the record, only 27 wins in the whole season, although the record is not good, but the management of the Raptors still gave head coach Sam Mitchell great confidenceNext season, management's patience paid off, and the Raptors ushered in an explosion!
