What a fucking circus show.

I never thought I'd say this, but I think it's time for Bryan Colangelo to move on, or be extended ASAP, all of his moves this summer reak of short term/band-aid solutions. Which is not productive for the future of this team.

I'd like to see him extended. Toronto isn't the premier destination for NBA players it should be, theres loyal fan support and the city is great. Maybe some more marketing of the city to the agents would help in the future.
Either way he needs to stay on IMO, its taken him a while but hes learning about the unique experiences of being a basketball GM in Canada.
I'd love to see Triano go though (I'm likely in the minority for that).

You think your in the minority because you want Triano gone? LOL...

Extend BC, fire Triano. The players don't respect him.

No one respects him.

Same old.. same old.

Chris Paul wants out of New Orleans...If I'm Brian Colangelo I seriously look into this, if even for only two seasons.

Don't dream.
He decides where he goes hes named I think 3-4 teams (Knicks and Orlando included). Toronto won't be on that list.

He has a NTC? You sure...I highly doubt he got a NTC on his RFA deal.

Not a NTC

Chris Paul reportedly hopes to be traded to the Knicks, followed by the Magic, Mavericks, and Trail Blazers.

But you aren't going to trade for a disgruntled player are you? Makes no sense hes not happy there because he wants to win now, I'm not sure if the raptors fit that bill. Even though we could if he comes, but again he'll only be happy with a few destinations.

It's tough to call, the teams he want's to go to also have the least to offer in a deal (save for Portland), and with 2 years left on his deal New Orleans isn't going to deal him for the sake of dealing him. We may not be winners now, but with a legit PG like CP3 we could build one real quick...

Chris Paul would make us an instant contender in the East

I doubt that very much. The current Raptors squad is complete garbage compared to what CP3 has in New Orleans.

What...

New Orleans is terrible outside of Paul, and their second best player plays back up to Paul. Toronto is no all star team, but we have a very solid supporting cast with Bargnani, Jack, Derozan, Davis and Barbosa. Combine that with CP3 and we have a very good, not great team that is one piece away IMO.

That being said, it won't happen so no point in pondering over it.

wade down.. 2 to go
