Whether it's a GM or a Coach, getting hired and fired is what pro sports is all about nowadays. To answer the question, yes I think he will be hired by another team.

If BC was fired, would another team hire him?

He could possibly make a lot of moves but its not worth trading developing talent for a proven star for 1 season there by destroying a long term future success. Moving Bargnani this summer will heal most immediate injuries

He's been able to bring in some decent talent but has had very little success. Maybe I should rephrase. If you were the owner of a team, would you hire him? I find he's built a reputation as a great GM but that's mostly through his own salesmanship of himself. The true mark of a good salesman. One that leaves you happy with the initial product sold to you but cursing his name down the road when it doesn't live up to expectations. I.e. Turk, Bargs, Kapono, Ford, O'Neal, possibly Gay/Lowry.
I will give him credit for realizing when one of those deals didn't work and getting good value in return. Bargs excluded of course...
If you were an owner who wanted to win a championship, it would be hard to find a reason to hire him. He drafts well; I'll give him that. You could look back to the team he built in Phoenix and see that he had success there, but I think that run was a bit of a fluke. If Cuban doesn't let Nash walk away from Dallas way back when, I'm not sure that that team would have been nearly as successful. Nash was the perfect point guard there, and I don't know how many players other PGs could have run that team like he did.
But if you just wanted a GM who looks and sounds the part, and who would give your franchise a perception of legitimacy and stability, then he's a safe hire."Stop eating your sushi."

After that his Raptors didn't make the play-offs for two consecutive years during the second of which, he made a blunder of a mistake of not trading Bosh, the reason IMO Raps. find themselves in the mess they're in.Attitude Is A Choice.

The Colangelo name is held in such high esteem in American basketball that being associated with it gives your organization instant credibility. Underserved credibility, but that's how the world goes sometimes I guess.

Nilanka wrote: View PostTotally agree. Sadly, he's the best GM this franchise has ever had. Drafting the team's all-time 2 best players (Carter and Bosh) is all the evidence I need.
Otherwise, he was a solid GM. Even his biggest mistake(s) was generally lauded at the time.
