Masai keeps saying "whatever" input Bryan gives, he says it repetitively. Is it just me thinking it or ...does he truly mean: "whatever BS" input Bryan gives, he"ll hear it but he won't buy it.

It was fantastic, I LOL'd. Sent Masai for a loop. The poor man's Simmons has finally contributed something.

No problem guys.
Much as it sucks to say after typing that out, but he basically said nothing. Frustrating for fans desperate to know what direction we're going, but an interesting change of pace from BC.

Who cares, he's a hockey clown that knows nothing about basketball.

LOL. Really? That's what you got from that?
And what did your smart basketball brain got from that?
Your reaction seems arrogant.
I got "it's important to grow the game within the country". Exactly what he said.
I just think it's funny. People try to read into every little thing in detail. He was just making a generic statement.
* Props to the man, the myth, the legend......TZ.

MU kept bringing up developing young talent and rebuilding the right way, also talked a bit about tearing it down, all signs points to duking it out with the bobcats next year for the #1 pick

Yes, it is. Ujiri talked about young, up-and-coming players on the Canadian youth teams that he couldn't mention by name. That screams Andrew Wiggins to me, unless you know of other under-19 Canadian players that are sure shot NBA talents.

Except he never asked a basketball question. He asked a business question.

Masai did mention there are upcoming Canadian talents - who he won't name - that he discussed with Triano or something like that and the first thought was "tank for Wiggins" especially after he said he needed to grow young talents

He talked about the growth of basketball here in general, I didn't get the impression he was pointing us at drafting Wiggins.

Thanks.
It's so early. I think that "hello" was all there really was to say. Could have been a tweet.

Maybe he's going to go after Bennett this year.

I thought he kept saying developing young talent at the "back-end of the roster"? Does that mean tanking? Who's at the "front-end" of the roster? It could mean that play young players more instead of Aaron Gray and Alan Anderson but then, if DC did that last season, we would've probably won more games.
