Toronto Star: Edward Rogers fought plans to keep Raptors’ Masai Ujiri

[ATLTimekeeper]

Reading that section about Rogers accusing Masai of bringing bodyguards to the Muskoka meeting, seems like Rogers has tendencies akin to the rent-a-cop that had that ridiculous situation with Masai after Game 6.

Dang, long live Mr. Tanenbaum indeed. Hope there’s a solid contingency plan for when he needs to step down.

He definitely dialed 91... when he saw them get out of the car.

Why are performance based incentives a bad thing? Most CEOs have stock based appreciation incentives tied into their contract. That is literally the same thing as being compensated based on appreciation of value of the organization

Is it really performance based? Value will go up in this market regardless of his actions.

The raptors are a top 10 valued franchise according to forbes. You really think that would have happened regardless of masai and the winning the last 9 years?

Yes

We almost lost the most important person in franchise history and galaxy brains are telling us to ignore it because its a hit piece being used in a family fued. No one is just going to overlook the details because of that

[OakleyDokely]

I wonder if Bell/Larry have considered buying out Rogers share in MLSE. I would be a sizeable amount now.

When you are a spoiled trust fund baby like Ed, u clearly know jackshxt and think only highly of yourself while everyone else is unworthy. Not surprised by the news at all of how he handled the situation.

Im suprised people still try to engage with NotMyKawhi, the dude is lost in the sauce and only views the world in a left/right binary.

Racist POS didn't like the 'woke BLM-supporting' Masai so he tried to sideline him and force him out.

This is the type of POS that isn't about supporting and uplifting his minority players and management but simply profit off of them. The thought of giving an African like Masai any stake in the team must've set him off.

The Trump association says it all because that's exactly his same values. People like Masai should know their place. Anyone can do their job, don't you see?

Remember what BC's wife said about Masai too?

[tdot_steel]

If you want to !@t$%& up things get some WM to fight about money and power. Guaranteed it will end in disaster.

Edward Rogers is a racist POS as far as I am concerned. One does not take pictures with their family and Donald Trump unless they co-sign his beliefs/actions. It is no different than a POC taking a picture with Bill Cosby, R. Kelly or OJ.

Team success is one variable in potential business valuation. The general market deserves more credit.

[positivetension]

listen, you guys on the left are really dumb and imo don't really have any friends who are actually black.

The Left is more racist than the right. Before Trump was president lots of black ppl loved him. Whoever happens to run for president on the right? Is racist no matter in societies eyes, that's just how it is

We all know that America's racist underbelly is fervently supportive of the left!

I'm sure the racists all voted for Barack Obama for 2 terms as president and a Biden/Kamala Harris ticket ironically...

They were genuinely curious about his birth certificate and had the purest of intentions.

Unreal.

The kingmaker here was Mirko Bibic from Bell. He's the relatively new guy on the block and he sided with Larry T. Good man.


Of course we're likely knowing all of this now, probably because Ed Rogers was just removed - voted off in fact - of the Rogers board.
It happened last week.

Make no mistake. Nobody on that board from Rogers or Bell is a good person. They're all scum whose goal in life is to **** us as hard as they possibly can.

Mirko was pushing hard for usage based billing 10 years ago. He argued that removing internet data caps would bankrupt poor Bell.

This was him meeting with the head of the CRTC over beer a few years ago. Totally no conflict of interest:

Value would've gone up regardless since the rising tide of the NBA lifts all franchises, but you can't tell me that the entire We The North period had zero effect. That era defined what it meant to be a Raptors fan in this city and country. People don't buy tickets, merch or watch games for teams they don't care about.

I didn't realize that his worldview takes would be as toddleresque as his basketball takes. I haven't blocked him yet because I get a laugh from reading some of them.

Geez this guy operates a literal monopoly for a company that gouges prices out the wazoo for what is, let's face it, crappy service (had my internet go out three times over the past two weeks during working hours) and doesn't want to ensure the most important decision maker in franchise history doesn't get paid lol.

Yes

The Raps value wouldn't have risen this high without all the winning. If I remember correctly, they were middle of the pack value wise through most of their existence until the last decade.

Of course, but Toronto , the fans, etc are the driving force. Give yourselves credit.

Fans & winning go hand-in-hand. Unless you're the Leafs.
