Just look at the Jays last 9 years if you want to see who Rogers will get to run the Raptors and how it will go.

What are the chances Masai just wants a diff job rather than he was pushed out?

Okay the timing is odd that’s for sure. Wasn’t expecting it now but later.
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

But im ***ing done with sports in this city. Everything Rogers touches turns to absolute ****. Im not going to waste any more of my time watching whatever Rob Babcock level sycophant a-hole he puts in to run the team. Firing Masai a day after the draft is just the kind of bushleague horsesh*t this franchise used to be known for. Here we are again.

Im out for good.


At least we won 1 in our lifetime!

I sensed something like that was happening from all the draft videos of Bobby looking way more assertive in his pressers because the CMB pick seemed to be all Bobby in the decision making.

It’s a joke they let go of Masai and those stooges are still employed.

Yeah I don’t expect the people who fired Masai Ujiri to make good decisions when it comes to his replacement. Watch them hire a hockey guy to run the Raptors

Sad to see him go, but the fact is he has made questionable decisions since 2020

Masai is the reason why we have a championship hanging from our rafters. Ed Rogers needs to GTFO. Canada is cooked when you have idiots like him running monopolies in the country.

Right? You’d want to at least project front office stability during free agency.

Bobby has been the one doing the pressers pre and post-draft for the last 3-4 years.
