"Rob Babcock made several questionable moves during his brief tenure, including receiving little in return when he traded All-Star Vince Carter to the New Jersey Nets last season. His first round draft pick in the 2004 draft -- center Rafael Araujo -- has been a bust."

This statement by Yahoo Sports was repeated along the same lines in ESPN, CNNSI and others. That is the reasom I have added the part that Araujo is part of the reason the Raptors GM was fired.

Why is the nickname Hoffa Bust being removed from the main page constantly? It is a vaild nickname and is used by many like the media and fans.

I have added comparisons and criticisms, please edit it if you feel that it is biased. CityPride 09:59, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Is that steals sentence really necessary? If he played 40 minutes a game, more than average starter's minutes he'd still have only 1.0 steals a game, that doesn't seem likely to be an exceptional stealing rate. Perhaps his expertise as a ball-hawk is exaggerated? 141.154.232.29 17:31, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
