The Raptors are standing pat with the bunch they have heading into training camp.
“The Raptors will be men of action, not audition, when training camp opens in Ottawa two weeks from today. At this stage, they don’t plan on inviting anyone other than the 13 players currently under guaranteed contract, allowing them to move smoothly into dress rehearsals for their 13th NBA season. One fresh face needn’t worry about making the starting lineup. Jermaine O’Neal will be one of the most scrutinized players in Ottawa after the big trade with Indiana. He and Chris Bosh, the latter still on a high from winning gold with Team USA at the Beijing Olympics, will be the foundation the Raps hope lead them back to the first round of the playoffs — and beyond.”
