GM Rob Babcock is earning his new Raptors paycheck, and then some.  In the next few weeks, he may have earned the salary of his full contract term.

It?s madness up in Toronto these days with the swirl of trade rumors, the Draft rush and a head coaching search.

Meanwhile the Charlotte Babcots will decide whether to take Alvin Williams, Lamond Murray or Milt Palacio off Toronto's roster in the expansion draft.

Philadelphia sports talk radio said that Allen Iverson for Vince Carter was in the works but this speculation later turned out to be false.

With the AI rumor shoved aside, Babock worked out Draft prospects, then raced back to Toronto to interview Detroit Pistons assistant coach Mike Woodson.

As for the Draft, Peter John Ramos is on the target list.  He is a 19-year-old and possible long-term project who has spent the last four years playing in Puerto Rico's pro league.
