He's kind of gone down the same path of Dumars post-title, although not as bad.

Ujiri definitely had some interesting teambuliding philosophies for the modern NBA that did not pan out, to be kind.

Probably don't want to deal with his international travel restriction within the US from Canada.

Wow that’s shocking. I would fire Dumars asap and hire him.

There's certainly some truth here. Some decisions he has made would have sent this board into apoplexy

Dumars accomplished this (not just this board but literally everyone) in less than 2 months.

Yeah, I don't get why his reputation as being one of the top GMs has held up. He made a bold all in move that paid off about as well as you can expect for a small market, but it was short lived because, small market. Outside of that I'd say he's been just ok.

Toronto is not a small market. The team has obstacles (taxes and different currency). But it is a large market, comparable to Chicago or Philadelphia. They have never been shy about spending..

Yes, Toronto is the 7th biggest market in the NBA.

Raptors' roster moves have been a shite show since they won the title. The current team makes absolutely no sense.

Moral of the story: Don't give Brandon Ingram the bag.

He should have been fired the second he offered Ingram that extension. It makes the deal Washington gave Bradley Beal look like a bargain.

It sucks that Griffin didn't push for a Raptors pick. They will be a bottom 5 team for at least 4 years.

Just like Griffin, he held onto his assets too long. Couldn’t build around OG and Siakam

Odd, why would you let a guy you know you’re firing choose your draft picks?
