I also want an increased budget to hire more women/POC in the organization. Would love to see women on the raptors coaching staff.

Finally, I want an equal share of marketing money/exposure as the Maple Leafs.

What a racist post.

Just garbage.

I agree! Garbage post! I'm all for diversity but if you're calling for white people to be removed just cause they're white you're a racist! Gtfo

And what if it's actually a white person making the comments?

What's stopping a team like the Warriors from going after him? Clippers, etc. They both have their jets ready to go.

Def need to get rid of devlin and these clowns who broadcast raps games...clean house finally, please!!

You all need to get league pass. It will make you re-evaluate your thoughts on our broadcast crew. They really are top 10.

Same with our reporters, you can't compare the breaking news of national writers (shams woj Ramona ) etc and compare them to local reporters. Our reporters are no worse nor better than rest of the local reporters.

You’re in the minority. Most people don’t have a problem with Matt and Jack.

Agreed, I love Matt and Jack. I can even tolerate Leo these days but still prefer the duo of Matt and Jack. People will always find something to complain about.

Why do we have such paranoia about him going to teams with solid management and even teams that don't exist? C'mon guys...have some confidence...

I don't give a crap who says it! My point is that race shouldn't be a reason to want to get rid of someone...if you think they suck give that reason!

I'd tell Robert Myers to take a hike if I could get Masai Ujiri if I were Joseph Lacob :lol:

This. Masai spent years trying to get us to believe in ourselves now our media/fanbase is basically trying to manifest his departure

I wouldn’t blame him for leaving bc of that + no guarantee of playing in Canada next year which is absolutely ridiculous

I think Bob Myers has done a pretty good job in Golden State...maybe better than Masai?

I feel like dude has a G-League squad outside of Curry and Green, but that may be due to the fact that they have big money tied to Wiggins, Klay, Curry, and Green.

I open the last page of this thread and i don't know wtf yall are talking about. Let me help refocus...

Masai is the coolest, baddest, smartest, wisest, strongest, most honest, loyal, skilled, deep and dedicated leader in professional sports. PERIOD. Let us honour and celebrate this visionary leader we are fortunate enough to have running our beloved Raptors and repping the great international city of Toronto, and let us loudly encourage him to run for office as Premier of Ontario or Prime Minister of Canada when he leaves basketball for greener pastures as a world leader. He is truly a great man.

Stop derailing with your childish bickering. Praise Masai and respeck yourselves.

You should be proud. We made it 16 pages before it crept in.

Lol

Whoa, is Masai really gunning to be the President of MLSE? This is pretty big. Its more than just the paycheck?

Sounds like he wants proper financial backing and promotion to grow the team and the game. Makes sense. That’s what other markets will give him.

From what I’ve read, the biggest thing he’s looking for is a commitment from MLSE to do whatever it takes to win championships. Obviously there’s going to be money and other questions to settle but if the suits at MLSE have any brains, they’ll do whatever he asks.

The fact that he got emotional at some point during press-conference just shows that he deeply cares and appreciates what players and coaches think.

I believe it's a good sign

Lol, I know right?

Fans talking whether Masai will stay or leave but some of us decided to discuss which commentators are okay and who should be fired.. D*** F*** :lol:

Bankai wrote:Sounds like Masai is the next one from 2019 on his way out also. Where? I dont know. I just find that Masai is thinking more about options elsewhere then he is looking at the home he had for years. Because people this unsure, and open about it, are usually people with a foot in the door and are waiting for a good opportunity to come along that gives them that push out.

Yeah, i think he'll out price himself out for even MLSE.

Just my guess.

Mind you, if i am MLSE, i'd pay him whatever.

He got off to a great start but he's been pretty bad the past 2-3 years. They've had one of the worst supporting casts the past couple of years. Then last year they drafted Wiseman instead of Ball which I think will come back to haunt them. Then you had the organization as a whole get heavy criticism for rushing to bring back KD in the playoffs.
