The 2009-10 NBA season starts tonight for the Toronto Raptors, but the organization – specifically Bryan Colangelo and Chris Bosh – is already looking to its future. The two men define the franchise heading into its 15th season, their own long-term prospects bound together. And how things play out will likely shape the club for years to come. Are the Raptors bound for the NBA’s upper...

... like a team that can challenge in the playoffs. If the trend continues, Toronto General Manager Bryan Colangelo will be smart to trade his star power forward since Bosh can leave via free agency after the season.? will win his third straight rebounding title: Howard entered Monday as the league leader, and he's collected at least 10 rebounds in each of his last nine games.? will win...

... on a roster with nine new faces. And yes, Hedo Turkoglu, the prized off-season acquisition of Bryan Colangelo, the Raptors' president and GM, is still easing into form. But in the meantime, you can easily argue the only thing that has truly changed since Mitchell was replaced is this: The new coach, unlike the old coach, is an agreeable sort who never publicly contradicts management....

... Actually, it wasn't as loud as it has been. It used to be deafening."Raptors General Manager Bryan Colangelo told the Sentinel a couple weeks ago that he was in favor of celebrating Carter because "Vince is part of our history." But any gesture by the Raptors is now moot. It was Orlando's final trip this season to Canada.Carter missed the Magic's first game in Toronto on Nov. 1 because...

Except for that stretch when they were blowing 22 of their 23-point lead, this was pretty much the way Bryan Colangelo's lab experiment was supposed to perform this season.

... when we've gotten eaten alive on the glass. And Reggie would be able to go in and stop that flow," Bryan Colangelo, the president and general manager of the Toronto Raptors, was saying Thursday. "Whether it was a five-minute span or a 10-minute span or what have you, he's a weapon."The weapon, sadly, hasn't been in Toronto's arsenal since he sprained his foot in a pre-season game...

Feeling fine about that is general manager Bryan Colangelo, who said the decision has been made to not offer Bosh an extension during the season because there's no need to put any extra pressure on him.The forward, averaging career highs of 26.4 points and 11.8 rebounds, has a number of options. He could not opt out of his contract,...

Interesting that Colangelo, now of the Toronto Raptors, made up for losing out on Hedo five years later when he obtained him from the Magic in a sign-and-trade deal. Also interesting that Turkoglu wasn't even the Magic's first choice; their top target...

Nash finished with 23 points and nine assists, though the Raptors made him work for it. He shot just 1-for-6 from the three-point line and 10-for-21 from the field. Still, the Suns are 9-2...

... 10 straight against the Suns, a fact that must make current Toronto GM (and ex-Sun head man) Bryan Colangelo fly into a rage. Come to think of it, he sort of always looks like he’s about to lose it. Chris Bosh is again da man for the Dinos. He’s making an early case for a fifth All-Star appearance with 28 points and 11.8 RPG per game, both career highs. Uh, can you say contract year?...
