I actually think Jerry Sloan would make a better GM than Phil Jackson. Sloan's teams always seemed to overachieve without MVP talent on his rosters (minus the Stockton/Malone years). And I'm sure his voice was integral when drafting/trading for players. I would reach out to him in that regard.

Oh senior Colangelo runs USA basketball, makes sense, he has more connections than any other GM in this league. Let the man do what he needs to do, he is the right man for the job so stop trying to run him out of town. For all those people who talk about his drafting and say he is horrible you are retarded. Colangelo has drafted names like, Steve Nash, Amare Stoudamire, Joe Johnson, and another great point guard and current tripple double leader in the NBA Jason Kidd. The man knows what he is doing he is one of the only constants in the NBA, he rocks and we will be fine boys. This is the best man for the job like I said.

I dunno about hiring these guys who have been out of basketball for some time. Not to mention they were coaches and aren't familiar with the whole selling aspect needed as a general manager. I think of either one of these guys more as an associate or adviser, kind of like the way the Raptors used Jack McCloskey in the past.your pal,

- Instant credibility with free agents, agents, your own players
- They have a good/great eye for coaches, GMs, scouts, etc.
- They understand how winning basketball organizations function
- They understand the importance of delegation and hiring people to shore up their own weaknesses (every great head coach is surrounded by great assistants)
None of those items are present in Toronto at the moment.

BC has done a remarkable job as GM of the raptors. Has he made mistakes, sure but he has cleaned them up pretty well. He also got Amir Johnson for basically nothing, a fact that is overlooked by many.
He drafted Bargs in a weak draft, in fact other then Gay, Aldridge, Rondo and Foye everyone else is out of the league that came out of that draft, is out of the league as far as I know.

All the players he drafted were non-polished high ceiling type players, I think BC deserves another 3 years so we can see his pieces fully develop.@RavNation
