They are a public company and their main purpose it to generate shareholders wealth. It's not about being cheap lol.


MLSE is probably second worst ownership group after OKC ownership.


Hey, throw a little respect on Vivek.
Everybody is losing their freaking minds. Nutbars and wingnuts have infested this forum. We've become a public lavatory without cleaning staff.

I disagree but judging by alot of your posts you cant think rationally, so I wont bother giving an explanation.

How is it MLSE's fault that Masai locked up Powell and Ibaka to a combined $35 Mil/year? You can literally find minimum salary players who offer significantly more production.

He wants to run more plays for our best player. Smart. This guy had said all the right things so far. Very happy with the hire. He actually understands basketball.

Man if Masai can turn Ibaka and Norm into FVV and a some versatile high IQ pieces, that would be a start.

to be fair, almost everyone wanted Powell locked up after the 2017 season.

to be fair, Ibaka was an asset management move - he's either hit or miss last year. 2017 was decent but strictly not losing him for nothing.

Probably in the post-presser interviews.

This makes more sense. This roster was built around the strengths and weaknesses of Demar and Lowry (or tried to be), and you can't really reinvite that with them being here.

Moving JV or even Ibaka for that matter really doesn't change that fact or change the issues we've had, either.

Masai is a terrible GM and MLSE are terrible owners. It's a nightmare combo.

No? It's absurd to think we have the 2nd worst ownership group considering how many awful ownership groups there are in the league.

Find a quote where I spoke ill of Nurse. I've done nothing but praise him since it was announced he's in the running for HC.

My only concern was that he wouldn't hold Derozan accountable due to their pre-existing relationship.

You must be on some good **** or something fam.

Masai goes into the tax: "Why couldn't Masai keep evaluating, this isnt a tax team"
Masai doesn't go into the tax: "When is Masai going to stop evaluating and pay the tax"

Sounds like Demar is the weak link.
