Doug Smith reporting a head-hunting firm has been hired to find Colangelo's replacement:




...

Some (myself included) would argue that a "gaping hole" exists at SG even if we keep DeRozan....

Didn't know where else to put this:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Least efficient midrange volume guys: 1. Monta, 2. Boozer, 3. Gay, 4. DeRozan, 5. Westbrook</p>&mdash; Kirk Goldsberry...

That's the beauty of trash-talking. You could be LeBron James, but a witty opponent can still find a way to rip you ;)

There is a bit of a "dorky" (for lack of a better word) stigma associated with glasses on the court. But that would apply to first impressions only. I would think that one's play is much more...

I guess we'll agree to disagree. I personally don't believe the Leafs were a factor in Colangelo's (yet to be) decision. I just don't see how one diverts attention away from the other.

Doug...

It doesn't make much sense why the Leafs would cause a delay in Colangelo's decision.

"Can't...conduct...businesss. Watching...hockey"

I'm of the belief that a team can't hide a front court player who is a poor defender/rebounder. If Bargnani was left to focus on just his shot, I'm sure his shot would be better, but IMO, he'd still...

I've been screwed with this kind of unsubstantiated optimism before. I refuse to let that happen again.

I should've learned my lesson with the Jays. This team is sh!t until proven otherwise. ;)

Not sure I agree it's the organization's fault for wanting/expecting Bargnani to diversify his game. He wasn't exactly a 3-point specialist coming into this season.

Casey needs to design our offense around Bargnani (like Dirk in Dallas). Then everything will fall into place....

This team would need to "overachieve" to make the 8th seed.

As for Michael Grange, loved his work when he was still writing for the Globe & Mail. I haven't found his Sportsnet pieces to be as good, but I agree that he may not be the ideal candidate for a...

In what alternate universe is Maxiell an upgrade over Amir?

Probably the same universe that has TV spots advertising shows "based on the stand-up comedy of Liam Neeson"

My main point was to give the viewing audience more credit. Canadians are no longer "new" to basketball where the SkyDome faithful would cheer the home team during free throws.

We're a much...

But wasn't MLSE one of the North America's biggest sports conglomerates long before Lieweke? What does he bring that changes anything in that regard?

I suppose it's too early to tell....

First, good find Matt. McLean's would be the last place I look for Raptors news.

Second, I had no idea McLean's was owned by Rogers :|

Third, what the hell does a person in Lieweke's position...

Whether Lowry is a championship calibre PG is to be determined, but nobody really made that claim. And the same can be said about every position on our roster.

Lowry may not be perfect. He...

1st bold: Yup, it would seem that all folks intolerant of homosexuals believe it's a choice.

2nd bold: Aren't all religious virtues outdated? :p

Let's hope whoever the new GM is really emphasizes that this team will only go as far as Jonas takes them.

What people (like Broussard) fail to realize is that we all have a right to an opinion....but we don't have the right to have our opinions respected.

If he wants to start spouting BS written...

Maybe we can get a video montage of Michael Jordan (instead of Gretzky) this time...

Agreed. Jackson brings instant credibility to the organization, but that doesn't necessarily mean he knows how to build a winning team.

Jackson built himself through 4 of the greatest players...

I vote Bargnani for 15th man of the year. There HAS to be an award for the most talked about nobody.

That move won the Spurs a title :p

This is what I think of when I think of Robert Horry:
