“For us to have this kind of luck is a symbol of a reversal of fortune going forward,” Colangelo said. “…We have our work cut out. This will help.”

They have a lot of work to do, but is it me, or does Bryan Colangelo’s job just get easier and easier? $10+ million in cap space (more if we don’t resign James), Bosh wants to resign, Mike James keeps talking himself out of town, and now this, the first overall pick. I have a feeling that Colangelo will be executive of the year in 2007.

I suppose the hiring of that Italian league executive is moot at this point, as the Raptors can take whoever they want. It is a good thing when plan ‘b’ is not necessary.
