As Raptors struggle, Bryan Colangelo summoned his senior advisor, Wayne Embry, to Toronto this week to meet with ownership, sources say.

So am I reading too much into this or is Embry going to need to endorse BC's moves from now on?

Went well for whom? We're still upset, right?

The two tweets I posted before, plus response from a local guy:

The meeting involving Embry and the board went well, according to a league source briefed on it. But 4-19 Raptors evaluating options.

To less urgent matters: The two things @KBergCBS tweeted are approximately what I've heard. Ownership's mindset is the big unknown.

Nobody has seen how the new MLSE works in such a crisis situation. Anybody who says they know is making a mighty leap.

Trade scenarios involving Andrea Bargnani and/or Jose Calderon are on hold with Bargnani and starting PG Kyle Lowry injured, source said.

Somehow I got a feeling BC wanted to hide behind Embry's back.

^You have to admit, it does make a good hiding spot

[Indeed]

Not sure what kind of owner it is, doesn't seem to care about their businesses.
Ticket price are discounted, perhaps they don't want to make profit in the future?

Buzz in league circles had Embry summoned by ownership, meaning trouble for Colangelo. But Colangelo sought Embry's counsel, sources said.

I'm sorry, but you have the most confusing posts. Is there even a point you're trying to make?

At least BC was smart enough to jump ahead of the ownership.

Embry won't sell out the Colangelos. He probably went to bat for him. They're burying Bargs to buy them some time on the trade market.

Since I thought good leaders will indicate the business direction. The "Ownership's mindset is the big unknown" seems to be that they either have no leadership to provide direction, or simply has no direction. If they care about their business, they should have some discussions already.

I mean if I bought something and care about it, I wouldn't throw it aside and just let it lost its value. Maybe it is just me.

So Embry is now in charge of advising both BC and the board on BC. If Embry did go to bat for BC than how long before the fireEmbry.com site appears.

Embry wont put Collangelo in a bad spot, he was the hookup that brought him in. Then again, he was the guy that gave the go ahead to fire Babcock too. I say the outcome of the meeting is that this rebuilding crap is not for a town like toronto and they are going to go competitive with vets.

They were rebuilding?

The last time Embry was summoned to oversee a roster re-shuffling, he dumped Jalen Roses's $15 million salary on the Knicks.
