Everything Masai Ujiri

One of the little discussed reasons why big market teams have an advantage in player recruitment is because lucrative endorsement contracts sometimes have bonuses for the player, depending upon which city he plays in. Given that the top players can make as much (and usually more) money from endorsements than their team salaries, it's a potentially significant financial incentive to move to a big market. There doesn't seem to be a way for the NBA to control this.

From the endorsement standpoint, since the Raptors' advertising market is 'all of Canada', you can argue that we are actually a big market. You have role players like OG, getting national commercial spots with a major brand (Gillette). You had Lowry getting bank endorsements.

But then are the issues of: taxes, weather, metric system, customs, jewelry, etc...

I think we can all agree that taking it off at the airport is a pain....

After firing his winningest Coach and making him his scapegoat.

Masai should better do this right.

No more Half Ass moves post Championship

There should be a clear direction where this team is going.

So Frank Vogel is going to take Montys job in Phoenix.
Another competent coach off the board.
As we just saw Spo run circles around Joe Mazulla... coaching does matter.
Yesterday our front office spent time at a thinly veiled political function.
Are the lights on over at 40 Bay ?
So far we have interviewed Becky Hammon and JJ Redick.
Wonder whose up next as the eclectic search for a new bench boss seems to have stalled out.
Dylan Mulvaney ?
Stephen A Smith ?

I continue to believe the simplest explanation is that the person they've decided on is still coaching in the playoffs.

[planetmars]

My guess is Sergio and he's still coaching in the Euro playoffs.

I think it might be the assistant from Denver. Or I just hope it's someone that can help the Raps run the offense through Scottie the way Denver does with Jokic.

Mike Brown did get the job with the Kings while still coaching in the finals last year with the Warriors. So there is some precedence where a coach was named while still working.

But also remember Sergio is still coaching right now. A quick google search and I can see his team is playing right at the moment. They are down 30-24 in the 2nd quarter.. but their team is up 2-0 (best of 7). They are in the semi's.

I wanted nothing to do with Vogel or Monty so that's a win in my eyes, not a loss.

We didn't even interview Becky. We did Reddick but he's not in the running.

You conveniently left out all the great candidates we actually DID interview.

Guess you're just trying to get as mad as possible by ignoring the actual coaching search and what's being reported daily.

We are doing the final round of interviews this weekend, so will have our new coach very soon, and here are the actual contenders.

Sergio Scariolo, Jordi Fernandez, Darko Rajakovic, David Adelman, and Chris Quinn.
