If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Or, if it still lines your pockets, forget the fans? Despite adding about $63-million in payroll over the last five years (10th most in the NBA), including $19-million each for Linas Kleiza and Landry Fields $24-million for Jason Kapono $45-million for Jose Calderon $53-million for Hedo Turkoglu $62-million for Andrea Bargnani, the Raptors are 152-242 (.386) during that period of time. Not to mention the fact that Colangelo has expressed interest in extending Rudy Gay's deal, which I absolutely believe he will try to do since he loves to bid against himself. Eric Koreen of the Sun is reporting that the powers that be at Maple Leaf Sports won't follow the firing of Brian Burke (which resulted in the Leafs instantly making the playoffs) by firing Bryan Colangelo. As a result the Raptors will head into next season with a double-threat of lame ducks with both Colangelo and Casey on expiring contracts. At least we won't be heading into an extremely important draft year... The Toronto media, embedded in MLSE as they are, are finally starting to put the screws to Colangelo but it's too little too late. They fawned over him for years and are reluctant to admit that he's been a disaster.
Not to mention the stupid Derozan extension and reaching for Ross over better prospects. Please someone in MLSE show some brains and fire him.
