So a bench with a kid with potential, one solid bench player, a third pg with one hand, an inconsistent enigma, a slow but professional center, and Kleiza is ready to reach the playoffs? I think the starting lineup-- though the pieces may not fit well -- is borderline playoff caliber, but that bench is hurting.

I could be wrong but in his brief time here, Ujiri struck me as a man of good morals and so I doubt he'll leave Denver.Attitude Is A Choice.

In this case Ujiri could show his loyalty and gratitude by re-signing there. If Toronto swayed him away by offering him an unmatchable salary, Ujiri would be leaving Denver for one reason and one reason only. Money. If money is greater than gratitude, it's Immoral.

Just playing devil's advocate here. I don't think Ujiri looks disloyal by coming back to Toronto. If he left for any other team he might look disloyal though, but Toronto is a big reason he is Executive of the Year this year.

Colangelo has run his course in Toronto, and it was a rather disappointing run. All of the replacements mentioned would be big upgrades over BC, so I don't see why you're so hesitant to let him go.If Your Uncle Jack Helped You Off An Elephant, Would You Help Your Uncle Jack Off An Elephant?

He then turned Felton into Andre Miller. He also turned Aaran Afflalo and that 2014 1st round pick into Andre Igoudala. They also have the right to switch 1st round picks with the Knicks in 2016. In addition, he drafted great late round vale nabbing Farried and Fournier. The Nene for McGee swap was a nice way to make the team younger while shedding salary. Name another GM that has been that impressive the past 3 years.If Your Uncle Jack Helped You Off An Elephant, Would You Help Your Uncle Jack Off An Elephant?

Toronto is the one who gave him his first high profile executive experience, including the assistant GM role, which is the natural stepping stone to GM. Without Toronto hiring him as Assistant GM he most likely doesn't get offered that Denver job.

Toronto must be credited for giving him the opportunity to be Asst. GM and THAT'S ALL. It(Toronto) does not deserve as much credit as Denver deserves 'cause the TRUTH is that it was Denver that hired him as GM, not Toronto. It's because of his Denver success that he's being sought by Toronto not his earlier stint here.
Hypothetically speaking, if he was never hired by Denver, rather remained here as Asst GM, MOST PROBABLY he wouldn't have been the Top candidate to be the new GM.
If he leaves Denver, he's Disloyal. That is the plain truth. Nothing, absolutely nothing makes it OK. By the way, Paul Jones who I just heard on Radio, thinks it's possibly going to happen.Attitude Is A Choice.
