    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>East Valley Tribune - While in town for All-Star weekend with his family, Suns president and general manager Bryan Colangelo met with representatives from the Toronto Raptors about their vacant general manager job, sources told the Tribune Sunday. Reached at the All-Star game Sunday night, Colangelo again refused any comment regarding Toronto or anything about his job future other than to reiterate ?I am under contract with the Phoenix Suns and that is where my heart and focus remains.? Colangelo, who won the executive of the year award in the NBA last year and has been mentioned as a strong candidate to repeat after revamping the team again this year, is in the midst of a threeyear contract that expires at the end of next season. Reports earlier this month have had Colangelo at the top of Toronto?s list since Rob Babcock was fired in January and Wayne Embry was installed as an interim GM.</div>http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/392..._about_gm_post/

    Sweet I would love Colangelo at GM. He has done some great things for PHO and I think he can help us out to. He is at the top of who I want. Him and Kiki but mostly Brian. I hope he will accept the job if offered though.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>East Valley Tribune - According to sources in Toronto, Raptors management is ?excited and optimistic? that Bryan Colangelo will soon become their team?s next president and general manager. An aggreement could be in place as soon as Friday ? but Suns managing partner Robert Sarver says he will attempt to keep Colangelo in Phoenix. Two sources said when Colangelo first told Sarver of Toronto?s interest, the Suns owner lost his temper and told Colangelo to get out of his office. Later, the sources said, Sarver told Colangelo he wasn?t interested in a contract extension and granted Colangelo?s request to talk to the Raptors. Steve Kerr has been the most common name thrown out as a logical replacement, but it appears that the former sharpshooter isn't interested in the position.</div>Looks like a done deal.
