Eric Akshinthala
Raptors Republic Starter

Upset are those who can't accept.

By stating a hypothetical situation, I was trying to help you see what caused the confusion. I'm trying to be helpful not difficult.

The confusion here was caused by your question "Name a GM who has done a better job in the last 3 years?". I can see your honesty but I hope you...

Toronto must be credited for giving him the opportunity to be Asst. GM and THAT'S ALL. It(Toronto) does not deserve as much credit as Denver...

It is morally correct to be loyal and grateful to the people who made success possible by believing in you and giving you an opportunity. In this...

He's Moderator of Raptors Republic not an Executive of the Toronto Raptors. As per a later post, obviously he knows but if he didn't, it's...

I don't have a feeling about this team. I wish they had not gone on that 4 game win streak. It would have given AA reason to fire Gibbons. I...

If one followed what Ujiri has done in Denver, he'd find that he's been GM for two years, took them to the play offs both years, winning Executive...

It would be morally wrong of Ujiri to leave Denver. Money is the only thing Raps. can dangle but I doubt Ujri would fall for it. Besides it may...

I hope you're right but Basketball is a different 'ball game'. Again, I sincerely hope you're right.

Only Burke's replacement Nonis is not bad.

IF: -Casey is replaced. -A proven PF, preferably Millsap, is acquired. -A solid back up or even starting PG is acquired. -Unrealistic but...

If Colangelo gets fired and you are still watching Leafs play off hockey, it doesn't affect the Leafs in any way. Not all fans are the same...

First of all, I'm not a marketing guy either. My little knowledge is from what I've picked up from hearing/reading and common sense. Just making...

As far as the Leafs are concerned, ACC is sold out no matter what. Hence revenue from ticket sales is not the issue. The other significant sources...

"Can conduct business owning hockey". A decision on BC during the Leafs play off series would mean attention diverted from Leafs to Raptors as far...

Blowing it up after coming this far is neither sensible nor viable. Yes some of BC's moves have been questionable and could have been done...

Not sure what his role in the Celtics Coaching staff is. I remember him being the Lakers back up PG when Shaq and Kobe played together. He was...

Mere speculation but it seems to me like MLSE wants to pick up Colangelo's option but Colangelo is asking for more. When you put yourself in BC's...

I think the above mentioned things would not have taken place if Casey was not the Coach. As much as BC likes to defend Casey, I think he(Casey) is...

'Awful' is the way a lot of teams view Bargnani as well. So I'm suggesting an 'awful for awful' deal AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, as Matt says, he's an...

I think Bargnani will bounce back and revive his career but not here in Toronto. It'll be nice to wait until he starts playing better(which he's...

With a decision on BC only a few days away, it doesn't make sense that Raps. would have bypassed BC and contacted Lue. I could be wrong but the...

When a post does not make sense to you, the way you respond determines the course it takes(such as this). A pleasant response invokes pleasantness,...

Tenforthewin has been criticised for posting posts and disappearing. His lack of participation which irked people is now changing and people have a...

I think we'll hear an announcement any moment this week. The fact that unlike other teams, Raps. have taken some time could mean that consideration...

Anything less than 100% accountability should be unacceptable BUT the fact that every player is under performing only shows that this is more than a...

The best comparison to a basketball team would be a comparison to the Lakers. Lakers have had their share of injuries but that isn't the problem. ...

AA did his job by assembling talent. I he decides to make a trade, who does he trade? Other than Edwin to some extent, every other player is under...
