1. lowry's impending free agency, looks like we are going to overpay or let him walk for nothing, plus money that must be thrown at jv and ross next year preventing us from having the capspace to sign impact players
2. mediocre talent. No way to improve through draft, derozan extremely overrated, 1 dimensional. Not a likely chance superstar will be willing to come here based on history of franchises ability to attract talent. Trading for a talented player? Unlikely.
3.unproven GM masai. All he has shown is that he can get rid of lost causes and get a decent return (melo,bargnani,gay), there is nothing to indicate he can build a contener.
Basically what I'm saying is I don't see this ending well, and it is extremely frustrating, it's been a blast later guys.
I'm sure we'll see you on RR in April/May.

I wish more of the "fans" who don't seem to think Raptors have a good future ahead of them (aka Tim W) would just keep it moving and find someone else to cheer for. Instead of continually stressing themselves out with negativity. If the team isn't doing what you think they should and you believe that will cause them to be mediocre forever then why follow this team?

Point 1. He may be right. Lowry should have been traded before the team started winning. Zach Lowe's recent article suggested he still be traded, and there are more than a few posters who agree. However none of these people have to balance the act of building a winner while also satisfying the people who pay to watch them play at the ACC, especially the long suffering season ticket holders.
" Hey folks, thanks for shelling out money for season tickets all these years. I realize you thought you were finally going to attend some playoff games this year. Well, you thought wrong. Sorry to tell you maximizing our assets is more important than you are. But keep buying those tickets, a couple of more tank years and we'll be right there!."
Point 2. Although as a whole this opinion is shared by few if any, I've seen many a post agreeing with one or another of his concerns.
Point 3. Any Blue Jay fan can see where this feeling comes from. I doubt Masai is AA version 2, but it's not out of the realm of possibility either.
Anyway, if the direction the team is taking bothers him that much (I believe a previous post of his mentioned making him want to puke) stepping away is best.If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.

They're plenty more important things to concern ourselves with then losing sleep because you've been supporting a team that may or may not still be mediocre. Just alot of attention grabbing if you ask me.Eh follow my TWITTER!

Heh, if he is in the D-league still in a few years I will be surprised.
He's terrible."
