Masai Ujiri doesn’t waste any time in making his first move
This special edition of The Dr. Is In With PhdSteve is just complete nonsense! It’s a good healthy half hour of Steve and RR writer Tim W. arguing over just about everything NBA related.
Hope springs eternal. All hail Leiweke.
Per tweets from just about everyone on the internet, the deal is expected to be 5-years and roughly worth $15M. More to come.
When the Raptors drafted Terrence Ross with the 8th pick right after Damian Lillard and Harrison Barnes, the immediate feeling was that of regret. The Raptors had missed out on two players, who by general consensus, were at the very least going to be serviceable long-term NBA players, and Ross was a wildcard.

It’s a full schedule this week with the talk ranging from summertime targets to Rudy Gay.

We give our immediate reactions to firing/promotion of Bryan Colangelo, talk briefly about who gets the job as the next GM of the Raps, and then from there it gets kind of silly.
More things are happening in the front-office.
The Raptors have decided to bring back Dwane Casey as head coach, which is just fine by me.
A day has passed since Alvin was given his walking papers. Doug Smith did his best with his rant to rile up the troops, but since then cooler heads seem to of prevailed and many fans although disappointed appear to get it. Come share your two cents if you disagree.
Doug Smith is actually openly criticizing the Raptors, specifically Tim Leiweke. This is a first.
(more…)
Per TSN and others. This is a nice vote of confidence, and should make Raptor fans pretty happy. DeRozan is a very hard worker and will no doubt look to soak up knowledge from the stars he’ll be surrounded by.
