In a mere span of 2 weeks many of you have gone from attempting assassination on Colangelo and Bargnani, to considering keeping them.
Can we not make such rash proclamations all the time or is this mandatory Raptor fan behaviour? Do people even have opinions or do you just like to complain?Sig wrote: View PostI haven't even given my opinion on this yet. I'm just taking a shot at the general fanbase as it's pretty ludicrous that these mood swings happen at least 48 times a year. On the same topic...
Anyone who has been on this forum for any amount of times knows that there are PLENTY of real opinions, and PLENTY of people willing to back them up.

The point of the forums is discussion, no? I think this is a relevant topic of discussion.
I think your opinion would be valid if people - myself included - were looking to give him a 5 year extension. But the topic of conversation is his third year option. Why not see where this goes? If things go well, great. If things go bad, the team is set for a proper rebuild with someone new in charge.
Colangelo spent 2 years talking about financial flexibility and making big trades only to give away all his financial flexibility and then make a big trade. It has taken him 5 years to start to add serious talent to the roster but he is doing it.
As circumstances change, opinions can and often do change. I don't see a problem with that especially when the ongoing 'building' is starting to finally show signs of progress.

Yes wholeeartedly I never wanted him fired in the first place. I dont think people understand how difficult it is to bring talent to a struggling franchise, and for what it is he has done a good job yes he has some slip ups I cant defend but He does do right by the organization and need I say more about the Gay trade saving his job? no not really.

And yes, there are real opinions amongst posters here.

I don't have to call anyone out, just simply take look at the comment section of the articles and right here at the forums.

He should have been fired 3 years ago. Alas, it is not to be.

What difference does the length of his extension make? The fact of the matter is that you people that were calling for his head literally 10 days ago(!); still want him here. Okay...... that's great. I'm not disagreeing with anything, but was the Rudy Gay deal all it took to win some of you over? To make you forget of all the fucking mind-blowingly stupid things that have happened in the not-at-all distant past? Is your twitter campaign still running? Or is it on a hiatus? I see that you've voted in favor of an extension.

Why not have someone new in charge right now? What, only Colangelo knows a good route to go from here?

I hope you don't take what I said the wrong way, it wasn't attacks on you, just clearing things up a little

You also seem to be disrespecting people without calling anyone specific out, and also not offering any position on the actual topic being discussed.....So, from now on, I guess I will just assume that you're talking about yourself and that you don't know what the f*ck you're talking about.
Not a fan of pointing people out in particular as it leads to writing essays which I'm also not a fan of. I once failed English class..
Yeah, I probably shouldn't have said "don't know what the f*ck they're talking about"...
