Looks like the offer has been upped to $3M per for Ujiri. That's... a lot of money. He'll be making more than some of the players!

I haven't contradicted myself at all.
I'm not prepared to blow it up now, but 2-3 years ago it should have been done. Maybe even sooner than that. You've been against blowing it up because...
I have a cousin who lives in Maryland. I asked him what he thinks Toronto is best known for, here are his answers in order:
1. Niagara Falls
2. Raptors
3. CN Tower
I explained to him that...
Is Buford even available?
Towers guys. Towers. Go to images.google.com. Search Toronto. It's our gorgeous skyline every single time.
Granted this happens for every city you type in but still.
Toronto Towers. It's...
I'm not on board with that either. We've already gone through 5 losing seasons, and I'm not prepared to go another 3-4 more.
I'd argue that proper rebuilding isn't about praying for a high...
I think there seems to be a bit of a gap on the definition of a rebuild. We have seen a few half-assed attempts at a rebuild but they were never carried through. After averaging 30 wins over the...
At least someone gets it. Fortunately for us, it's the guy on top.
Actually the Raptors are a model of why teams *should* rip it down. Look at the last 5 years. If Colangelo had been willing to rebuild and not retool back then, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in...
Actually I think Apollo came out from left field with his 'statement' that no GM would come here with a team that got blown up. I don't think there is a single person in the universe who thinks it...
I guess perhaps the remaining fascination of BC is that he's still here. He's fired, but not. He has no say on basketball decisions, but it's not like he'll stop talking. It's not like he's...
I hope I'm right too. I definitely think TL is one of the people I described, but I do understand the results-driven perspective. Thing is, if you're hiring a GM -- most likely you're in a dire...
Think about what a GM lives for though, and you realize this is the perfect opportunity. A general manager in sports really is the clean up guy. It's Newman from Seinfeld, whose solution to...
This is my favorite part of the article:
Fun times.
I always thought we should be called the Toronto Towers, except I kind of wanted us to call our some-day NFL team that. Ask anyone outside Toronto what we're known for. Any non-snarky (or...
I'd rather develop him now than stash him away another year like we just did. With a healthy Fields he's going to play even less minutes that last year, and he was 19th in minutes played amongst his...
I'm not sure if you realize that we are f*cked either way. I guess it depends on how much making the playoffs and getting eliminated in the first round means to you. From a big picture standpoint,...
It makes sense though. With Peter Jackson as our next GM.. we can package Bargnani with DeRozan for a legit starting PF + a backup point guard and a 2nd round pick. Use the 2nd round pick to grab a...
I have serious doubts about Fields. For one thing, I hate his contract. And second, when I hear someone saying "If he starts playing like he did back in..." I usually tune them out immediately.
...
Is this a serious question? Are you actually comparing one season of Amir Johnson (out of 8 to choose from) with 7 seasons of Paul Millsap? I assume this is a joke, but this is 38 starts compared...
It's a good post Primer and I can't argue with those numbers, but those numbers are for what would have happened if we had thrust a rookie and an injured player into DeRozan's spot this past season. ...
Hold up, I didn't come up with that and I think it was Bargs/DD for Millsap. No JV for sure.
But I agree with what you're saying about how Bargs can diminish the value of the second player we're...
Exactly. Here are the scenarios:
Keeping DeRozan -
- starting SG begins his $38M/4year contract and is lacking the distance shooting and shot creation abilities needed at SG
- $18M devoted to...
They might think differently but their alternative options are limited. It's not like the GM hiring process is open to the public.
There really isn't anything else for a third party to do...
What's to consider is the Leiweke is probably putting together a list of candidates to replace Colangelo and doesn't feel the need to do anything with Colangelo until he's got his list of guys and is...
