Weaver was credited with getting Melo to Syracuse. He apparently was also Westbrook's champion in that draft and pushed hard for him. He has a good pedigree: Syrcause, Utah and OKC.

Weaver's name always comes up in these things. Same with Pritchard. It might just be people guessing and picking the usual suspects as possiblities.
I know Pritchard's baggage but he still seems...
Well, the Toronto Star basically bet the company on it, so they better be right. Not sure I'd be running with a story pushed by Gawker and some random guys from the hood selling a cellphone video but...
Again, pretty sure no one in the NBA gives a damn. I have not seen one quote from anyone other than Toronto media guys (Colangelo's biggest defenders) talking about 'image'.
And, who cares?...
That's pretty funny coming from Stern who screwed Seattle so his buddy could have his team in OKC. Fair dealing. Good one.
No one outside of Toronto cares about the Colangelo situation. Few...
Yes, but it's also a matchup issue for Miami. Lebron can't guard Randolph or Gasol. I suspect Memphis would deal with it much the same way they have when OKC has tried to go small in the current...
The organic growth? Come on. From whom? Gay is in his 8th year. He isn't getting any better. He is what he is. Derozan has been the exact same player in terms of his statistical impact for the last 3...
I do not agree with this assertion at all. The 2006/07 team had Chris Bosh (one of the most efficent big men in the history of basketball and a top 20 player), an effective and in their primes PG duo...
The suites are for everything I believe. That's basically every arena though. I was never clear on the season ticket issue but back when I lived in Toronto (2000-2004) I knew people who had Leafs tix...
This has always been the sorriest excuse for keeping Colangelo. It's like your buddy who is dating an awful girl but won't break up with her cause he's afraid he can't do any better when, in...
I think the tension here is pretty obvious. If you fire Colangelo, you are handing the reins to someone new who will want to start over. That's fine but it might be a tough sell to ticket buyers,...
I believe Bell and Rogers are required by a shareholders agreement to vote the same way on all material decisions to avoid Tanenbaum getting leverage over one of them. So, it makes perfect sense to...
Sadly, this also applies to most of the stocks I buy....
As for realistic options, Bargs might be one of those cases where you take a flyer on a talented, underperforming, meathead another team...
1. The biggest need, for me at least, is an elite, young, dynamic perimeter player to pair with Jonas. Granted, I have no idea how they get that guy. Yeah, they need 3-pt shooting, a backup PG and...
Koreen expresses one of the key problems with the roster:
1. Season was a disappointment. The modest goal of "competing for the playoffs" was not achieved in any sense. The team has no cap room, no draft pick and no elite player. There is really no good...
I agree about the closing out games. Anyone on the current roster fit that bill?
Having said that, if you look at what Gasol and Noah and, to a lesser extent, Hibbert are doing for their teams, I...
I don't care if a guy has head coaching experience. It's not definitive in terms of value and I'm not sure it's material at all, though it is relevant. Look, everyone needs to start somewhere. If you...
My favourite Leoisms are:
1. Folks, that's a seven footer out there.
2. (After a mistake by a player) Now, Matt, you can't do that. You just can't.
3. He needs to take that shot right there and...
Remeber 2008? When Colangelo had assembled the best team on paper he had ever had? Remember how that worked out? The only difference between the 2008/09 team and the coming 13/14 team is that the...

Grange: Colangelo fights for his future (edit: an apt description)
It gets more interesting....
Didn't Sam Cassell do that like every other shot he hit?
For me, it's ridiculous to think that this meeting changes anything either way. The guy has been around for 7 years. He has a track record going back into the 90s with Phoenix. If you don't know what...
Done. The three things that annoy me are:
1. Leo
2. Devlin/Jack screwing around (I know the team is terrible but come on)
3. Showing replays during live action, missing key replays and cutting...
All hockey, all the time. And when that's over.... more hockey.
