Nobody wants to hear your sarcastic crap. We're 100% not rebuilding this year and there's a good chance we're not rebuilding next year.

If you want to take shots at the Raptors head over to the GB.

Phil Handy is known as one of the best Player Development coaches out there. He’s not Front Row coach... never was and never will be because he’s not a strategy guy so no he’s never gonna be a lead assistant.

It’s the same reason why Jamaal Magloire never gets a promotion. Some guys aren’t good at strategy if they prefer to be the development guy.

Don't worry, one day an earthquake will cut off L.A. and it will float towards Alaska and then only then Toronto will finally be able to keep talent .

Thought I heard him ssy on Danny Greens podcast that he had a multi yr deal here. Maybe because it's a promotion?
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

There was someone Nurse really wanted last year. A former friend and colleagues on a different team's coaching staff who they asked permission to speak with but we're turned down. Can't remember his name or the team....Maybe Bucks....

chris finch. raps tried to hire him, nuggets i think as well, he wanted to stay with the pelicans. probably still will.

Maybe..but the guy I'm thinking about didn't get the chance to refuse. Raptors were blocked by the team. I think he only had the year left on his deal. I might be misremembering...
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Seeing Nurse as Championship winning Coach in his first year probably showed Handy that he has no path to head coach with this team for the foreseeable future.
In LA you could see Vogel and Kidd getting fired by LeBum by mid-season and Handy taking over.
Griffin and Nurse were the main reason Raptors won the ship from a coaching perspective.
Masai will find a suitable replacement.

Perhaps it was LeBron who told Phil to come here and help last year, because he felt bad for sweeping the raptors time and time again. Now that we won, he is taking Phil back. That's all.

This was too predictable, after winning championships, assistants are sought after from a championship club. And Phil Handy has been at the top of the list for some time now, he's making his way up the ladder.

He "coached" Lebron during Cleveland run. He just decided to go back to comfortable situation that he's familiar with.

Saying the raptors aren’t contenders and lakers isn’t sarcastic it’s reality

Grow a pair of balls and get thicker skin dude


I don't come to this forum to have people say they're fans but spend half or more of their time taking shots at the team.

It brings down the quality of the forum. It makes the place needlessly negative.

You want to give constructive criticism? Sure. That's not what this was.

Nobody is bringing down

The raptors aren’t contenders. Just lost a top 3 player and one of the best 2 way 3 and d players I. League

While lakers landed a top 7 player in Anthony Davis

Go look at meteorological data. You're dead wrong. We've already had around as many 25 degrees this summer than we would have had an entire year in the 90s. It's not even August yet.

You either must not be have been here very long or you have an awful memory. There used to be snow on the ground for 3+ months every year without melting. The longest we had snow on the ground for without melting this past winter was 2-3 weeks in Toronto.

Stop complaining about the weather; global warming is real and if you haven't noticed it yet you aren't paying attention.
