Lazy Andrew Wiggins still doesn't want to play for Jay Triano

Fixed. Wiggins still hasn't gotten over being benched for Aaron Doornekamp and Brady Heslip two years ago, who both did nothing out there

Triano is a terrible coach, you know this from watching two years of Triano leading this team

It just highlights the 'good ol boys' club in coaching. Jay Triano basically got the job because of Steve Nash. Triano couldn't even succeed at Simon Fraser. Never succeeded in the NBA. All we heard when he got hired in Toronto was that he would practice with DeRozan and Sonny Weems all the time, as if other assistants didn't do the same thing. They didn't even fire him when he was let go because of the Nash association, Colangelo kept him on because they thought he was gonna help to bring Nash here.

I wish they hired someone with an actual track record of success to lead the team.

No it's not the same. Dalembert was booted off the team cuz he decided not to be with the team during trips, lunch, dinner etc. He caused a rift by alienating himself from the rest of the team, who were all CIS guys. Those guys already resent the NBA guys and that made it worse. In retrospect, this probably worked out in favour for Leo.

Wiggins isn't playing for the same reason Stauskas isn't playing. Both were unhappy with Triano and his ingame management, particularly when both were getting shafted for minutes so he could appease the lowly CIS scrubs and his nephew, who continues to play despite being a massive pylon.

The fact that Triano couldn't even get them to qualify despite having the most talented roster in recent memory, while Rautins was able to qualify with a squad headlined by his son and Joel Anthony, speaks volumes about Triano's coaching and in-game management ability.

And the media piling on Wiggins for not playing is pathetic. Toronto media is the worst...they are so scared to speak out against anything because they have connections to the team. Bet when he comes back for a game, they'll be all over him to get quotes and shyt.

Leo qualifying with Joel Anthony, Andy and Jermaine Anderson :wow:

Triano couldn't even get it done with Wiggins, Murray, Olynyk and Tristan out there :francis:

I'm still angry af that they lost against Brazil. That was such a winnable game. Heslip and Doornekamp being pylons. Keeping Melvin in there when he was chucking away from 3. Playing Sim Bhullar. Taking Dillon Brooks out when he was playing lockdown defense:francis:

He should be canned but him and Nash are tied at the hip. So if Triano goes, Nash also goes, although Nash is just a figurehead and doesn't do anything.

Masai going to hire some olu buhari as the head coach when it's all said and done

Olu Famutimi makes his NBA debut...as the head coach of the Raps :wow:

Fran Fraschilla seems to think this is the guy:



His Euroleague record hasn't been that impressive until recently. 2-10 in 2015-16, 14-16 in 2016-17, and 22-14 this season. He made it to the Euroleague final 4 with a bad roster:
