There were no tea leaves to read. He didn't tip his hat on players, style, or anything.
The only conclusive thing is that he intends to fill the end of the roster with young players (vs retreads), and grow players here.

Raptors Season Ticketholder since the 2000 playoffs, through all the lows... build to the championship high... to Tampa and back again.

I think he held his cards very tight during this conference. I don't think any conclusions can be drawn on whether he will re-build or re-tool. The one thing which is clear is that he respects BC and understands that he was one of the reasons for why he is where he is today. That said, this is Masai's team and he will be the defacto decision maker.

Can't wait to imagine what the convo between Masai and Casey would be like.
Masai: What's your philosophy?
Casey: 40 mins for AA, use Gray as our matchup advantage, and
Masai: *smirk* no.

Something about sexist comments against female commentators I think.

2 expiring vets that help now. A young big to add to the Scottie timeline
I'd prefer to keep Stew and give Monte Morris

I watch a lot of political conferences where nothing is said. Ujiri didn't say anything note worthy. Questions that was asked were standard. Nothing important came of this conference. I like the little things I hear Ujiri say (rebuilding right, etc) but let's not pretend Ujiri made any headline statements.
Thanks Tubrozone!

I wish one of the media members would ask Lieweke about the potential of the Raptors purchasing their own NBDL team.
They keep talking about developing young players at the back end of the roster. There is really no better way to do it than have a DL team to send guys down to.

Even though MU was pretty tight-lipped in the PC, with the heavy emphasis on growing Canadian basketball, it's hard not to think the plan is to tank for Andrew Wiggins. But maybe that's just wishful thinking.

totally agree, that last part of pc was most news worthy.
raptors have some good pieces, we can grow and build upon that. sounds like re-tool
Well I'm not sure that Masai will trade all 15 players so it's certainly possible he keeps Jonas, Ross, Acy and maybe Lowry?
Or should every single player be amnestied?
well, considering people here want a full tank, having lowry rudy and demar will not accomplish that
How would you describe Raptors RGM forum in one sentence?

Was that Mike Tooth trying to stir the pot with the BC thing.
It was obvious why BC wasn't there. What an idiot.

That was always pretty much obvious. It's only the fans here that "want" that to happen.
