Damn, Stein is well connected to the Raps so this is definitely true.

Really hope Masai doesn’t leave us for the Hawks.

I read the article. Not much there.

Atlanta has been striking out for weeks. They wanted Bob Myers and he declined. This is the same thing Washington did. Put it out there to see if Masai will bite. That's all this is.

Masai has 1 year left. They better lock him up

Ed Rogers probably accepts the deal to be honest. He never wanted Masai anyway so I see this as his out.

it's not a problem that others want Masai, but it would be a problem if our ownership is idiotic enough to let Masai walk away. I didn't think that was possible before, but with Rogers being the majority owner now...

Not a good time to not be an American citizen working in the US. Apparently Masai has dual citizenship (Canadian and Nigerian)... especially citizenship from an African country. I don't see Masai leaving unless he is fired. Working in one of the reddest states...he can get detained and be treated worse than he did at the finals in GS.

Curious why Bob Myers turned it down.

Reports were he thought Bobby would be just as good for a fraction of the cost. Ed is also very likely a racist so if not Bobby then someone else white.

He's white too.
Should have probably said anti black for Ed since there isn't a single black Rogers executive.

ATL is the black wall street. Masai should definitely go if given the chance. Build something bright in ATL

He had a good run, but I'd like to see him gone. Hire one of the OKC VPs, who have learned from the best (Presti).

If Ed doesn't want Masai, he won't want Bobby either. He'll probably hire Mark Shapiro's cousin or something.

He would be smart to gauge his job security as he is in his last year and there’s a good chance he won’t be back.

Return to Toronto Raptors
