B.C. Should Get Busy .
This season , the changes to the Raptors' line up are ho hum so far . Additions to the team are minimal and not as dramatic as last season . Returnee Maceo Baston is a 30 something Anthony Parker clone even in age except less effectve in offense and defense while Jason Kapono is a one dimensional player . And who is Moon ? Maybe B.C. thinks that the Raptors' roster just needs a little tinkering . Wrong . The Atlantic Division is definitely stronger . I watched all 5 games of the Knicks in LA Summer League and was impressed by Isiah's draftee . Collins can certainly play ! What about rookie Big Baby Davis of the Celtics ? Davis is definitely not a deadweight ! I don't have to tell you what the addition of Jamal Magliore and rookie Sean Willians will do to the Nets . The Nets will be tough next season . No more finesse big guy like Nenad K and malnourished Mikki Moore !
So what should B.C. do ? Something earth changing to match that of the AD rivals ? Get Yi Jinlian ! Yes , get the 7'0'' tall Chinese forward from Milwaukee . The Chinese Basketball League will certainly welcome TO as Yi's destination . Toronto is certainly one of the few NBA cities with large Chinese community aside from NY , San Fran and LA . All one has to do is walk the streets of the city to validate this claim . Imagine the economic benefits of that to MLSE . Enough of European ballers . Bring in Asian basketball players , B.C ! An Arab , a Chinese , a Filipino or a Korean. The FIBA Asian Olympic qualifying tournament will be held this month in Tokusyima , Japan . Go East , young man !

i'm not sure another soft 7 footer is the answer. but agree, bc shouldn't be done dealing.
Asians are not NBA ready.Except for one or two Chinese,they are rather small or too slow to play in the NBA.
thats a serious statement ty, lol. i read that there are some 400 million chinese playing different levels of basketball. with those numbers, it is just a matter of time before there is an asian invasion to the nba.
And hey - Yi is tall enough that he might not smell the foul street level delights of early morning Chinatown garbage at Spadina and Dundas that I get to ride through every day on the way to work.
But seriously, for sure BC isn't done dealing yet.
