Another terrible take by this guy... After way too many in the draft threads.

Guess we got to wait on more details but also possible Masai wanted an extension or to be let go. Lame Duck situation is something nobody wants.

Yep...we had 12 years of a top notch organization with the most success in franchise history, just pathetic.

Yeahhhhhhhhh. I was pretty shocked they passed on Maluach, who was absolutely a Masai pick.

Hmmmmm.

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

I have been hard on Masai since the championship but this is truly the dumbest thing the franchise has done in a very very long time. I'm pissed

He hasn't been good for a while. Too many here are living in the past.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

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


I know he did, I didnt say that, I said he was more assertive in his responses - more direct, more out of his shell than years past (talking about the Open Gym clips too)

The worst part of this is, Giannis has no reason to join the Raptors anymore. Rogers lost us Masai and Giannis. Dark times ahead indeed.

At least Joe Dumars isn't available to sign.

Sad day for the franchise.

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!


Yep. Never thought it would happen. Ill never forget that team or the insane parade. Nepo baby POS will make sure we will never see another one.
