Did anybody else catch the part where TL was talking about how he didn't want to use gimmicks to promote the Raptor brand? He wanted it to be about basketball. I saw it as a shot at the ridiculous "17 Reasons" campaign.

Funny you should say that because I hardly see it on T.V. anymore.

I finally watch the presser. I don't get the feeling that TL is going to re-brand the Raptors with a new name. It sounded more like just a refresh of the Raptors look. That's what I got from it anyways......when he talked about respecting the past/history of the Raptors.

TL and Masai already discussed the vision and they both agreed on it. He is being politically correct by saying "it will be Masai's decision and I will support him".
Amazing news!!
Edit: We don't have the pieces for a Carmelo trade & the quick rebuild on the fly never works
Houston?
Or were you implying it never works.. for us

Pretty absurd comment considering we had the most talked about player in the league at the peak of his popularity for a number of years.

I thought the comment was idiotic...of course it hasn't been the perfect organization but "disaster " is not even close and it was just the wrong place and time for the comment.
