He was never that good tbh. He got lucky that Kawhi was available when he did, the team got hot when they did and that the Warriors were massively injured otherwise they were getting swept.

What's the point of saying that? There are many franchises who don't even have 1 championship, and zero hope of one in the near future. It's almost like people (not necessarily you) want to just poo poo the 2019 championship. Why? Be glad you had a president who had the balls to make something happen and things broke right. The prez at the other side of the hall at MLSE is too chickenshit to make any big move as he is ball-less. Masai did something and wasn't just content to watch his core rot away and do nothing.

Brutal team. Masai really screwed the pooch with the Poeltl trade and not selling off Siakam and OG for a high price.
The Masai bashing is actually kind of f***ing hilarious when you remember how the Raptors looked before he got here...
Guess we could go back to the time when the Raptors never even sniffed the playoffs and if they got a good player he'd be gone in a year because no one other than Vince Carter wanted to be in Toronto... And of course, the time of making trades only to have the players respond with "I'm not playing for YOU! I'm going home to sit out the season!"
Poeltl and Barnes don't work together...period
11-18 Masai...time to throw in the towel, strategic retreat.

You build around Scotty and OG imo. 3 and D guys don’t grow on trees.
Everyone else can go.

I like OG a lot, but teams are preparing max contracts for him. 200m for a guy that averages 14ppg is risky especially when he's injury prone.
The Raptors are going to end the Pistons losing streak aren’t they? Lol.
Of course they will. Toronto sports personified. Lol.

The retool that should’ve started last year. That blunder looking worse and worse every day.

I highly doubt it's Masai. It's more than likely the organizations clinging on to the names and not wanting to rock the boat. Reality is once Kawhi left they should have tore it down to bare bones and started a restructure. Actually the victory lap year was fine and made business sense. After that though it's been a joke.

Raptors will face the Pistons on Saturday, with the Pistons having lost 28 games in a row.
Will the Raptors beat the Pistons and the streak continues, or will the Raptors pull a Leafs?
Pistons came close tonight, had a 21 point lead at the half and went to OT but lost to the Celtics.

Hopefully the Raptors lose and Masai can admit he f***ed up massively last year at the deadline.

Had to be done. OG good player but you needed to retool. This is a great move by the Raptors. You get younger and get 2 pieces for the future. Build around Siakam, Barnes and Barrett and Quickly
Precious also part of the deal
