Time to poll the Republic…  1)    Is Triano’s system finally
clicking or are the past two victories merely representative of
the opposition?  2)    No change in Raptors ticket prices for
next year. Good business model? Is this in answer to their
critics or do you think they feel they have hit a wall with
respect to ticket prices?  If their numbers are to be believed,
you would think raising the price tag on the 17-19,000 they
bring in every night would be a good way to fill the coffers to
absorb, say, any luxury tax.  3)    Andrea Bargnani. Qualifying
offer is in there for 2010/11 at $8.4mil. Rub your crystal
ball…do you earmark more for him beyond that or try to sell
high? If you were the GM and you were trying to budget, what
would your first proposal be to his agent if he called you in
the offseason to try and gauge your interest? It would all be
unofficial, of course…wouldn’t want to go against the CBA.
