Some posters have their own agenda and like to assume it as fact. For all the hype guys like Presti, Morey and others get for being "great" GM's, how many titles have these guys won? You guessed it! Zero.
If you're only in this whole Raptors-fan thing for championships alone, you're going to be disappointed way more often than not. The NBA is probably the toughest league to win in, given the 5-5 nature and minutes played by star players, hence the reason you see the same teams dominate year-after-year... they are the teams with the best players.
Constant ragging on a guy that is heading into year 3 of what is normally a 5 year run is just getting old. We have no idea what he's going to do with the roster this off-season or next, so what's the point in saying "he's terrible and blah blah blah" right now?
Too many people believe there's such a quick fix out there. Do you think Masai is not doing his do-diligence? I'm sure he knew ownership would not like him firing his coach 1 year after giving him a 3 year extension, which was well-deserved at the time. This year is truly the first year where he can put his own plan into motion and make this Masai's team. Has he had other opportunities to do this in the past 2 years? Yes, but it also bit him in the butt where the team overachieved for the most part of a full calendar year. Do I agree with keeping Casey? No. But I'm going to at least give Masai the benefit of the doubt and work towards his goal of making this a real contender in the '16-'17 season. Realistically, I doubt this will happen, but I believe he deserves the opportunity without being chastised as he is. 48 and 49 win seasons, both club records, in his first 2 seasons allows him that opportunity.
Rant done...
