You're right, in the last year TL has had no impact on the Raps, and missing out on the last 3 years of his contract won't mean anything to this franchise. Bring in the next suit. They're all the same."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

He was fine, but the players....most of which were here before even MU, they were a huge part of success.... and a few key moves by the new GM. TL didnt do much of anything really.
Imho he's easily the best front-office leader this franchise has had in 19 years."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

Can't really know for sure if it was the 'winning' (they did lose in the first round), if it was MU or if it was really TL.. but a top 5 free agent resigned with the team and at a good deal considering some of the other signings.. one that was being recruited by teams that had star players and in warm weather climates (like Houston, LA and Miami).
That never really happened in the Raptors history before. I personally give the credit to TL on that signing. So I think it is going to suck without him around. Hope I'm wrong.

Meh. I don't see it. I see what he did, and I like it, but I suppose my thing is this...WhAT DID HE DO?
Really, what did he do? He was the guys allowed to spend the big money new ownership was gonna spend. Was it spent well? How's TFC? How's the Leafs? whats happening in Raptorland???
well the TFC is ok, new guy came through.... and he gets paid MASSIVELY, but they are still just average.
The leafs took a fantastic step backwards
The raptors continue don the path they were already on.... and should have continued on.
does he get credit...I think so, thy all do, but I dont see how he did anything more than any other younger guy could have done.
His biggest move....was breaking every promise he made by bolting the first chance he got when something better came along Wow...

Basketball teams dont operate on the floor with their coaches in a vacuum. This should not be a eureka thought that ALL successful organizations start at the top of the pyramid and the more continuity of the talent there the better....it translates. We still dont know the real story here but we as fans should be concerned that there may be troubles in the boardroom. The Rogers and Bell marriage I believe is a tenuous one and it could be that TL may have had a problem with this. In any case TL did navigate well it seems with all the commitments he received in spending/capital projects. I would also not discount that the resuccessful signing of players may also have been due to his presence. He is a closer and would be an asset to any GM. Not the absolute end of the world but to pooh his departure on the face of it as inconsequential is being unappreciative of what he is all about and his record not just here but other spots.
