A good young executive from a good organization would be ideal.

Brian Hagen, assistant GM of the Bulls, or David Griffin, BC's right-hand man in Pheonix, might be interesting choices.

I want no one who is part of this existing disaster of a front office. Raptors need new blood and a new perspective on how to build a winner.

Wouldn't mind seeing a female GM actually. We could break the barrier while still proving -anyone- is better than what we have now.

our only hope is getting rogers to buy MLSE's cut in the raptors.. no matter who you bring in here nothing will change because MLSE is just a bunch of incompetent fools. NO MLSE OWN TEAM WILL EVER WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP! MARK MY FU*KING WORDS.

Alex Anthopoulos. Honestly we need a gm like that who's actually a true fan of the game and knows how to build with young talent and eventually turn it into a contender through trades.

For sure, a GM who can stash young players in the minors for years, to develop them as trade chips.

More so...Leo Rautins signs Andy Rautins to a 5 year 50million contract.
Leo Rautins signs Leandro Barbosa to a 3 year 20million contract - "When I was a Coach for the national team, he burned us and showed how much of a valuable player he can be"
Leo Rautins signs Mengske Bateer to a 2 year 5million contract "He was a 7 footer out there...that's a 7 footer out there"
Okay Ive had my fun.
