Interesting that other sports league teams were courting him :leon:

I thought the options would either be Toronto or Giants of Africa

Lol at WOJ having to tweet again correcting his exclamation point after Vice President. Too late now, gonna be a meme on it's own.

Back to business, I ain't trying to renew these seats to watch 10 wins at home :birdman:

Hmmm...but their recent personnel choices got me perplexed...how are we set up to win?

Gotta give it time breh. It took us seven years to build a chip team last time, mainly because Americans don’t wanna sign here. Unless you’re the Lakers it takes time to build a contender and our fanbase doesn’t want to believe it but we are sort of starting from scratch again after our championship team has basically been disbanded. Realistically, even if that team stayed together this upcoming season would have been a rebuilding season anyway given that Lowry is aging and Kawhi wasn’t gonna sign longer than two years anywhere last time he was a free agent.

We gonna suck this year for sure but that’s just part of development sometimes. Ima just enjoy the breakout games from developing players. The fact that we have NEVER signed a big name free agent and still won a championship speaks very well of our management team. Now, I don’t like this all defence all the time philosophy that we’re building but I’m sure we will correct course after we win 30 games this year mainly because we can’t put the ball in the hoop.

Masai has cdn citizenship, so does his wife and his kids were born here.
Prob getting like 15 mill a year and more money to help his charity. He has two nigerians on his squad and the nigerian population in Toronto is growing, he has direct contact to the most powerful people in the city, province and country.

Masai was never going anywhere he played everyone.

Told you all he wasn't leaving, wanted overseas money and a big contract.

When you got leverage, you make sure you get everything you want. :yeshrug:

What has me worried is when masai was up In The air I thought maybe these horrible signings and draft picks were Bobby Webster as he had one foot out the door.

now I know it was him all along he’s now teetering on joe Dumas in the middle 2000s status
