This is like going from champagne bottles to a box of apple juice.
That'll get KD here, I'm sure.

TL was a sports guy who did "meddle", but in good way that helped Masai tremendously, e.g., getting budget (practice court, D-League team,...) , talking to Lowry, etc...

What is surprising is that Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment hired a guy without a shred of sports or entertainment experience on his resume. He must be a big Maple Leafs fan. lol.

a true numbers guy will see the value of a proper rebuild.

The Leafs are going through a rebuild now.. if that ends up being successful (and we won't know for another 2-3 years), then it'll be easier to convince the board that its a smart play for the Raptors if they ever have to go through it themselves.
If the Leafs rebuild is accelerated or ends up like Philly in the NBA then all bets are off.

golden wrote: View PostAnd what exactly is a "proper rebuild" anyway? Like Philly? Or like the Warriors, in hindsight? Imagine the criticism Colangelo would have received if he drafted Steph Curry? Why get another un-athletic point-guard (who is still learning the position) and who can't defend his position, when we already have that in Jose?
I dont think anyone in the known universe thought that Curry was another Jose.
but a proper rebuild is a step or 2 back, and accumulation of assets, clearing of capspace, and moving on and up from there.

Hope I am wrong but this guy smells like a Peddie to me. He is neither a sports nor entertainment guy. Peddie sold Huggies and toilet paper before he joined mlse....this guy sold vacation packages. It just seems that no one of real talent or consequence wanted the job after TL....strange.
