Masai gotta be the most overrated GM ever.

Why didn't they just accept they weren't winning shyt with the roster and sell some assets at the deadline and rebuild with what is undeniably the best coach in their history?

I blame Scottie Buns for this. If he had developed the way everyone had projected including @Gil Scott-Heroin this woulda never needed to happen. Say what you want about Nurse but he’s had the weirdest most mismatched roster in the league the last couple years. When he’s had a squad the whole world knows what he can do.

Youre talking about the GOAT coach in Raptors history. The whole league studies his playbook. You don’t just let a guy like that go….but I get it he’s the most logical target. It’s easier than Masai having to actually get out there and work…he could have gotten some nice returns for his pieces but he’s like Ainge…he would rather win a trade than just get quality value. Vanvleet had a major down year…..Siakam is a stud but he’s not a number 1 and Buns is….well Buns. You can’t do much with that as a coach.

They hedged their future on Buns developing into that Kawhi void and ended up assed out when they realized he has no potential to be that guy.

I don’t see how Ime or any other coach is gonna fix those problems…

no offense but why would udoka want to coach the raptors? this is coming from a raps fan. obv he doesn't have many options due to his uhhh transgressions but the raptors roster is WOAT. there's really no upside. i'd take that houston job 10/10


Ime can wait for the inevitable Doc Rivers firing. Once they get bounced again in the 2nd round. Start with an MVP Embiid, Maxey and Tobias Harris expiring contract for a Dame Lillard trade, try and extend James Harden.

Same way there was that top 31 Draymond mega thread years back, there should be a spin-off asking is this coach coaching shyt? and just go one-by-one all 30 teams for the coli to vote on :dead:

Every year for the past 10 years it feels like name a given coach and common feedback is he ain’t coaching shyt:pachaha:

Even those who were, the switch up is on some dark knight ish if they stick around long enough

You're saying this like the Clippers aren't about to be at the bottom of the ocean too.

:lolbron:
I’m saying, what the hell have the clippers done in the 4 years Kawhi has headed west? Clippers have been the “If such and such was healthy, they gonna win the title” team for almost half a decade. Potential that never pans out. They ain’t done shyt!! At least Kawhi got a title in Toronto. Ppl gas the clippers every years as dark horses to win the west for whatever weird ass reason and they never do shyt! :mjlol:

Seems like a scapegoat move by the gm, cause that team has been mid as fukk since Kawhi left
Life comes at you fast I guess, champions with uriji and nurse getting hyped as some of the best GM and coach in the league to the team being in shambles and nikkas getting fired :picard:
And does Uriji always sound like he did in the press conference, don’t remember him sounding like he need a public speaking class. Breh must be nervous as shyt

he is a good coach...hope the lakers give him a look
masai gave him an atrocious roster

turns out the future of the NBA isn't 6'9 athletes who you can try to teach basketball late in life

Because rebuilding sucks and they charge an insane amount of money. Raptors fans ain't Knicks fans. Scotiabank Arena isn't the tourist trap MSG is.

It does suck but it's also a necessity for teams. I saw my Celtics do it for years after they fleeced Brooklyn and look where we are now.

Top 4
he's not a good coach
he's on the level as frank vogel who was also fired and is out there

y'all dont even watch raptors games and going off the odd raptor game on espn and tnt which when they lose, but doris burke will suck him off. "Nick nurse one of the best coaches in the nba, unorthodox style for running a box and 1 bla bla"

hes azz cheeks good riddance to nurse, his ugly azz suits and his garbage band
