When the Unholy Alliance bought MLSE from the Teachers Larry Tanenbaum took over as CEO of MLSE, he's very hands off obviously.
There are some nice pieces in the starting 5 but I don't think they mesh too well as a group. Furthermore, the bench is awful. Raps were doing very well finding and developing players. Now, they aren't which has resulted in a very weak bench. I don't know if it's a developmental or scouting issue, but it needs to be fixed.
FVV, Trent, and Poeltl are free agents. FVV and Trent will make too much for what they do.
It was a great opportunity to do a retool.
Tannenbaum is the Chairman of the Board not the CEO.
After Leiweke, the president and CEO was Michael Friisdahl under the end f February 2022. He was replaced by interim president and CEO Cynthia Dane who is still in that role as they seek Friisdahl’s successo.
I think the team presidents like Ujiri and Shanahan report directly to the board these days and not to the CEO. So, basically the CEO oversees the parts of MLSE that are common to multiple teams or have nothing to do with any team.

It sucks that they wasted an ideal trade deadline for a false hope to get two playoff games
Or the starters don't mesh with the bench units which makes them overrated. Good players elevate their teammates. If not, they're really not that good.

it would be nice if they had a capable point guard. That's the biggest positional need which i guess can't get answered now,
The only lineup that was better was the one with Koloko in Poetl's spot and Trent instead of FVV.
Again, this tells you that the problem is implementation as opposed to personnel.
We've been playing small ball so that our backups are only bigs and wondering why our small guys play too much and why the backup smaller guys don't succeed.
If we ran:
Poetl - Siakim - OG - Trent Jr - Barnes as a starting group, then threw Fred on to start the rotations, it would still allow him to play big minutes, but would give the bench guys a real PG (bonus that Fred can be a greedier scorer, which could maximize his game since a large part of the criticisms he faces are around shooting too much when Scottie/GTJ/OG/Siakim/Poetl have better shot options)

The play in is the most useless garbage in sports today. I mean, does any one get excited about races for a play in spot?

Bell Rogers treadmill team. Don't believe this is a Bobby Masai directive.

i know play in sucks and raptors are middling team going nowhere yeah yeah blah blah, but i am such a big fan of Poeltl. The guy is so fundamentally sound and just such so good in that traditional big man role. He is a so important to this team.
Watching them the last couple weeks pretty closely and they aren't as bad as some people are making them out to be (myself included with some reactionary criticism).
I don't know man i'm not sold, but i'm rooting for them and i like watching the games again.

Yea, man, me too. I said so before, but I kinda like the makeup of this team after getting Jakob. Sometimes you think they are good and can give a top seed trouble in the playoffs, and then they have a 1-4 road trip. I don’t know man. Like you, I am not entirely sold but I like this team.

What’s the point? Even if Raptors make the playoffs, they will be out in 5 games max against Milwaukee. Them getting blasted 2 games in a row against Boston on the road told me all I really needed to know.

Yes because they can only get the 8th seed now. The 7th seed is decided with the game 7vs8 game.

makes sense.
they're done like dinner in that case.
Makes that trade deadline direction look pretty foolish.

This team is in no man’s land right now. It will be interesting to see what the offseason brings.
