He's the one that brought in Drake...so just for that alone you're probably right.

Always talking about winning but little to show for it.
That is fine by me though. I'd rather have a guy hyping to be a contender than happy to make the playoffs (Colangelo).
Very much think Raptors/MLSE lost a huge piece with his early departure. Tannenbaum is happy to live in mediocrity it seems.

For a "faceless" organization led by corporations and board members, TL brought a Mark Cuban/Jerry Buss/Daryl Morey dynamic to MLSE. He was a guy with ambition and vision and balls who could get things done and provide leadership. Amazing how many changes he made in such a short time."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

They should of just named Babcock as replacement
Yo ure profile pic..is that Omar from the Wire,love that character. That was sick show,2 bad they stopped after 5th season.
As for Tim Lieweke replacement,who ever it is,probably b a puppet,good luck 2 that individual."Never apologize for coming to me. Office hours are for patients.

Ugh, I hope they don't just hire a hockey guy. One of the best parts of TL was the immediate attention TFC and the Raptors got."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

If anything, I feel like him not having a sports background would make him more hands off, allowing our GM to do the work and explain to him the whys and why nots.Two beer away from being two beers away.

Have we gone from....
.....to?
Leiweke could be with MLSE for a while: "I'm happy to stay as long as they need me," he told me. /1

Leiweke: "I'm excited to see through TFC's season; and the new Leafs and where Masai is going to have the Raptors headed" /2

Leiweke: "And as dumb as I can be sometimes even I'm not dumb enough to leave Toronto in the summer time." /3

Probably not. But he is doing a great job making Tannenbaum and MLSE look like pricks!
