[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

Should have been done long ago, he was a bad GM. Horrible even.

i figured there'd be a post about this.

i was out to lunch this afternoon with pete when he got the call from rob. since pete was hired by rob, he's gone too. neither one of them were very suprised by the move. he's already gotten calls from a couple of teams. he bombed in toronto, but prior to being in t town he was with the wolves as kevin mchale's top guy. pete and rob will pop back up somewhere.

as for me, some of you know this, some don't, but i had just been hired by rob last week as a scout for the raptors, so i'm gone too. but, pete is still is the head of everything that happens with the nba draft, from the actual even to the pre draft camps in orlando, so ill be at both of those. pete and rob have another brother(forgot his name), but he's the director of basketball operations for the bucks. you'll see rob back next season. and where he goes, is where i work...so, i'm keeping my fingers crossed for a decent team.

he should have gave jalen a contract extension right before he got fired

Yeah very true.

Well, who knows what's going on with the Isiah sexual harassment issue, but we'd love to have you all in NY.

Seriously though, good luck.

i don't know how babcock kept that job for so long. after drafting raffy at number 8 overall, and giving away vc for nobody, they should have got the hint that rob isn't making the most progress

haha.

i'm at work right now. slacking as usual. pete's in here, they've been getting offers from teams today, which is good. he didn't really get a chance in toronto...only a year and a half. there's two teams heavily interested, but im not at liberty to say who. i'll keep you guys updated on everything though. back to work.

yeah no shit. they seriously need to just move away from toronto, and to vegas. hockey belongs in canada...not basketball...well, except steve nash.

[weezer182]

yeah no shit. they seriously need to just move away from toronto, and to vegas. hockey belongs in canada...not basketball...well, except steve nash.i dont have a problem with basketball being in canada that much. im extremely pissed that they moved out of vancouver because im so close and could of gone to a fair amount of games. i think its dumb you have players like steve francis ect.. who refuse to play in canada. yea the market might not be as good but then again they havent really had a good team. id be interested to see how it would be like if toronto was a contender
