They are still doing the NBA cup garbage?

Why do that to yourself?

Be better off being the best prepared team in the league and schedule an easy start to take advantage.

Koloko leaving is a reminder to Raps that this is a business. Not a franchise that has a sole purpose of maximizing player earning potential. Put the team's interests first. Otherwise, get someone in charge who will.

 

[Its not your fault]

Any truth to the reports Kawhi Leonard is going to retire? Why did this man ever even leave Toronto? Who the hell wins a professional championship and then doesn't try to repeat with the same club the next year?

Hossa?

Hossa?

Holy shhh. Yes. Good answer

The final Woj bomb:

With Rogers having majority interest now, I'd expect Ujiri won't last beyond current contract, likely mid-2026.

I disagree wholeheartedly.

If Shapiro is still employed despite the absolute mess that the Jays have been for the past 9 years, then Ujiri should be safe.

In 9 years, the Jays have 4 wild card berths (the first one was running back the team that AA built), have a messy payroll structure and haven't won a playoff game in 8 years.

In contrast, the Raptors have 6 division titles, a 3rd in the conference and a 5th in the conference in 11 years (all would be playoff berths by the MLB model). The last two times the Raptors were swept were by Lebron and the Cavs.

I think he’s referring to a previous report that alleged Ed didn’t want to re-sign Ujiri a couple of years back, but Tanenbaum and the rest of the board overruled him.

Larry strikes again. Firing him was the right thing to do.
