I'm sure they'd be interested in some prospect for Norris. Not sure how high the price would be though. They aren't competing in the next few years (at least), so some long-term options could make...

I'm very interested in knowing the specific direction Leiweke will take here. I guess the GM hire will be the first indication.

In his interview with McCowan earlier in the week, Leiweke did say things that indicate he is aware it will take a few years yet. He was asked about Colangelo and spoke about how proud Colangelo is...

I was in your corner with the Nash signing hope (mostly as it maintained the asset needed to acquire Lowry). That said, I didn't expect Lowry to come as cheaply (value wise) as he did. Then again,...

I'm just thinking of what you are saying here in regards to the specific scenario. When you speak of "control of value," you are referencing a rookie scale contract vs. a 2 year window before a...

I don't mind it. You'd have to spin the brand to connect it to basketball though.

I think direction is far more important than value at this point. (ie. if the direction was to tank, that pick would likely be far better value for us than 12th overall). The direction limited the...

I've been grasping at straws all week trying to think of a solid, innovative name that relates to Toronto, our history and/or has a type of draw to both the casual and hard core consumers. I can't...

Which candidates have proven the ability to do this?

There is the element of "unknown" with all of the candidates as none of them have proven the can make over a roster like we have. That doesn't...

Yah, but its been majorly overhauled by necessity since he's been there. I'm not sure he should be penalized for having good assets when he took the job. He did well under his circumstances. But...

CN Tower, Multiculturalism, Pigeons, Bed Bugs.... :) but none of them are good fodder for a team name and many aren't necessarily unique to Toronto.

The Leafs made the playoffs this year ;). Come on!

Weaver
Ujiri
Others
Stefanski (this is an outsiders take. I have no idea how he's been in meetings, etc. But distancing this team from Colangelo's history with it is beneficial). I consider Ujiri...

This wording doesn't really make sense though. Previously he held the positions of President and General Manager. Now he only holds the title of President. How is he "promoted?"

I'm not surprised at all that George is up on the voting (he'd be my choice). but how would people rank the choices?

It could happen. I don't think scouts were wow'd by James Harden prior to the draft (regarding his ceiling), but he has developed into a superstar in this league. Player development isn't always...

If you could choose to have 1 player with your franchise for the next 5 years, which of these names would you choose? Why? How would you rank these 4 choices?

Paul George
Andre Iguodala
Rudy Gay...

I think Jonas V is still growing. He'll be the next tower soon enough. No worries there ;)

I thought about that too. And I mean, it makes sense... After all these years we are still trying to invent a way to have a winning basketball team in Canada

For sure. Their long-term answer at SF (MKG) might have one of the ugliest looking shots I've seen. It really all depends how they view DeRozan. If they feel he can still improve significantly, it...

Double post

I like it for sure. Could be a solid PF prospect to be had at 4th overall too.

Not sure if DeRozan is the caliber SG they are looking for with the 4th overall though.

Simple but effective.

The alternative if they want to connect it to Toronto (or Canadian) culture is reference history a little. Something involving James Naismith, the CN Tower (or Canada...

Hats off to you for listing some new suggestions. I'm not a huge fan of them, but I enjoyed reading the list you came up with. I like that you are trying to connect it to Canadian culture, but it is...
