The Toronto Raptors have the 8th pick of the draft but still no GM. Vince Carter on the other hand is attempting to help speed of the process by dropping Julias Ervings name into the hat.

"If they feel that (Erving's) not the one, well then he's not the one. But I think now it's time to really buckle down and find somebody. Because this affects the whole summer. Without having a GM in place, or a coach, or both ... you need to collaborate on who we're drafting, what we're going after, free agents ? you don't really have anybody to go after these guys."

Carter was asked how he came to be in touch with Erving, with whom he has spoken about the GM job. At first he said, "I don't have the slightest idea."

Then he laughed.

"My mom just said, `Hey, here's Dr. J's number ? give him a call.' I was like, `Who? Yeah, sounds good to me.'"

It was former Raptors tough guy Charles Oakley who once said of Michelle Carter, "Vince's mom runs the team ? she's the GM."

If Erving does get to be the next Raptors GM it just solidifes Michelle Carter's posiition as the woman calling all the shots in Toronto.
