People blame Triano and Andrea but people need to understand that Colangelo is more responsible than anyone else and should be first to go. A lot of Raptor fans are infatuated with the big name gm but it doesn't take a big name to make a good trade or put a team together. Who is the GM of Portland who received Wallace for a pair of low first rounders (when Raptors got James Johnson for a first btw). Who was the GM of the Jazz who managed to rob New Jersey blind for 3 lottery picks for a guy who wasn't going to stay there. Who was the GM who was compensated for taking an extra year on Baron Davis contract with a top 8 lottery pick? These guys are lesser names than Colangelo and have achieved more than he did in the past 5 years. In the financial markets there is a disclaimer "PREVIOUS PERFORMANCE DOES NOT PREDICT FUTURE PERFORMANCE" . Yes, he put together a great team in Phoenix albeit he got lucky a few times and made some bad mistakes but that should not be the reason to give him another 3 years in Toronto

We all know the great trades he made but some of the bad transactions he made standout as well. Trading Nash for nothing, trading Kidd for Marbury (I'd rather get nothing), trading a boat load of assets for Antonio Mcdyess in the walk year of a contract only to have him leave after one season, trading away Luol Deng for nothing, trading Gortat away for cash ectComment
