Front office is cooked
We The North
Giants of Africa is a great tool that Masai. I think we should get some prospects coming to Toronto or at least the 905 affiliate team. If you can develop a good African player the next couple of years will be brighter.
Raptors fans needs to understand, Toronto is not an attractive destination for superstars, they need to start thinking towards building their own superstars.
People have to understand how smart am a basketball mind he really is
Look, Canadian talent is over looked by masai but I hope he
Changes .if not then what ever .
Vancity that won't age well
I think other teams are scared of getting fleeced by masai and so are hesitant to make deals😂
"There will be no selfishness this year"
Main reason why he Let FVV walk
There will be no selfishness this year!! Perfect answer
Im stoked
most selfish players on last year squad was Fred and Boucher not Pascal or anyone else
😂 “There will be no selfishness this year” Ujiri said that sternly lol
Masai washed up
Tell us about your vacation Masai, you sure didn't do any work! He looks like the proverbial deer caught in the headlights, he looks nervous and weak.
This guy doesn't know what to say anymore how about upgrade the roster.
If the hope is take a run at Giannis and not re upping The guys they have now in fear of not having the cap space to make that move, then they are making the wrong move.. the bucks just showed you how to keep a star.. by surrounding him and making a move
WOW we can actually hear the questions lol
0:50 the reason why everybody talks about us in relation to plan and direction is because we don't know how to choose one. for the past 3 seasons we have done nothing but tread water in the middle of the pack.
Can't wait for the season to start to shut up all these band wagon haters, who based on their comments haven't been watching long enough to actually know anything.
Us as fans have lost our way.. weve all turned into essentially philly fans. We need to re humble ourselves an calm down. We need to get back to embracing the grind instead of acting like spoiled lil yutes.
Toronto will never be able to do a trade. Masai Ujiri is only looking to fleece other teams. The smartest GMs will not do business with Toronto. In sales you are learn how to negotiate in good faith quickly. Masai Ujiri have never learned that. He is always looking to trade an F package and get an A plus package in return.
Selfishness cough cough Fred lol
Aka FVV and NN are no longer here..
