Ujiri's alright, but is he RC Buford or Jerry Colangelo level? Nope. Not worth the max.Comment

Buford has had Duncan and Pop for his whole career. And what has Colangelo won in the NBA? Not sure your point.tDotted wrote: View Post
Who even cares how much Masai makes? give him $20M or $300,00...it doesn't matter to us. They're gonna jack up ticket and concession prices regardless. Dude has done an amazing job, let's reward him for making us relevant - at least in our eyes, maybe not American media.Comment

Prioritize the draft
With the Raptors’ cap situation, the team was forced to address its roster needs through the draft.
Rarely does a team that played in the Eastern Conference finals have an opportunity to draft a lottery pick.
The lottery pick provided security for the eventual free-agent departure of Bismack Biyombo.
Although teams in the lottery tend to draft the best available players over need, Toronto was able to accomplish both with center Jakob Poeltl.
Although Poeltl will not provide immediate relief for Biyombo’s shot-blocking and rebounding, the 20-year-old’s size, mobility and offensive efficiency should complement starter Jonas Valanciunas.
The Raptors’ second pick in the first round, Pascal Siakam, should provide instant energy off the bench.
With Patrick Patterson the lone power forward on the roster, Siakam’s athleticism and length could help him crack the rotation this season.The All-Star
Toronto wasted little time signing All-Star DeMar DeRozan, one of the top guards on the free-agent market, to a five-year max contract.
With little flexibility in free agency, Raptors management had little choice but to make the Olympian their primary off-season target.
DeRozan has shown improvement each year since being drafted by Toronto in 2009, and his signing means all five Raptors starters return to a team that was two wins from the NBA Finals.Last edited by Chr1s1anL; Mon Aug 22, 2016, 07:07 PM.@Chr1st1anLComment

Sloppy article by Marks...
No, DD did not sign a max contract. No, Patterson is not the only PF outside of Siakam on the roster. No, they did not bring back all the starters - ever heard of a guy called Luis Scola, possibly the worst starter in the league?Comment

Not to mention Scola replacement with Sullinger was probably one of the better bargain's/ upgrade in the starting lineup.DanH wrote: View PostComment

I'm used to the US media kind of ignoring everything Raptors related to some degree but these pieces are supposed to be detailed summaries of the off-season from an ex-front-office guy.Hotshot wrote: View PostComment

The Raptors have agreed to terms on a deal with E.J. Singler. He'll be in camp and compete for the 15th roster spot.

How many guys are competing for the 15th spot now? Last time I counted, it was 4. Singler makes that 5.Axel wrote:KeonClark wrote:KeonClark wrote:Comment
