He deserves every bit of the praise he has received.

However, to be fair and honest, missing out on free agency entirely, when you have prepared to have cap room to spend for years, in a year when there were several excellent targets at a position of need is an enormous blunder.

Not having a firm landing spot for Dragic agreed to is unacceptable.

I am grateful for the championship and know 100% the Raptors do not win it with another GM, but we must always judge our leadership based on their merit in the present.

The Lowry sign and trade is a blunder that will go down in Raps history.


Let me get this straight: Ujiri is smart enough to build a team to win the NBA championship. But not smart enough to check whether the free agents that he thought could help the team had interest in coming here before committing to the Lowry S&T? Ok.

Not sure what world you are living in, but I'm sure it's a fun time over there.



It hasn’t been that fun over here this offseason. I believe Raps could’ve landed Richaun Holmes for sure. His contract is a bargain and Raps could’ve offered more.

Wonder if Lillard does get moved for Simmons, wouldn’t that be something!

He’s the rim protector for the worst defensive team in the league. Relys on athleticism which might decline over the next couple years and his productivity is nearly matchable by birch for a fraction of the cost
