First, I'll choose the Indiana, Houston, Golden State. Detroit, Milwaukee, Old Philadelphia GM model over Charlotte, Cleveland, Washington, Phoenix, Minnesota, Clippers, Sacramento, OKC. And this will never change.
Outside, of correctly criticizing Colangelo and knowing what a championship team looks like, there is nothing that he has said or done (besides hiring Ujiri), that makes me think he's any better. To think that his success in LA can be replicated in Toronto is naive the markets are fundamentally different. Colangelo won executive of the year in Phoenix too if you remember, but he still wasn't able to replicate that success here.
Now, I trust Masai and until he makes a major mistake (or multiple) that won't change.
Parker and Exum are the only prospects I like, although I expect there to be all-stars in the late first round that people haven't talked enough about yet. Bennett will be a bust and Olynyk will be a good role player, but with very little to no upside. We didn't miss out on Canadian talent last year.
