The brightest STAR in the history of the Raptors' franchise was driven out of Toronto by the way MLSE chose to run its business, after taking control of the operation from Mr. Steve Stavro and, ultimately, following the dismissal of Glen Grunwald [former Raptors' GM]. Since that time, the principal people responsible for the way in which this franchise conducts its business, are Misters Peddie & Tanenbaum [not the OTTPP, which is an entity rather than an individual person], representing the Board of MLSE, who have made the decisions to hire Rob Babcock, in the first place; fire Rob Babcock; and most recently, hire Bryan Colangelo. The people responsible for the current state of the Raptors' team are not the players on the roster, nor the coaching staff. In this franchise, the buck stops now with the names Larry Tanenbaum, Richard Peddie, and Bryan Colangelo. It is going to be a very interesting season in Raptorville.

The people responsible for the current state of the Raptors’ team are not the players on the roster, nor the coaching staff.

In this franchise, the buck stops now with the names Larry Tanenbaum, Richard Peddie, and Bryan Colangelo.

It is going to be a very interesting season in Raptorville.

Toronto fans enjoyed a brief moment of misguided arrogance after a half a Cinderella season and there are still dopes around who assume for some reason it is a playoff team(and no...barely scraping into the 8th seed does not a playoff team make)....I guess because the insipid Raptor shills on Raptor TV tell them so and there are no real basketball writers in this country...

I haven't seen them play much all year but isn't Jamal Crawford one of the two Knicks that people would pick from that team if they had to. The other being David Lee. They're trading away a guy who actually plays hard and has talent that isn't hidden behind layers of fat for a complainer. But I'm not thinking about it, I learned a long time ago not to make sense of what the Knicks are doing. But as d279 said, gotta love the Knicks not giving a shit about the salary cap. BTW, check out Jamal Crawford's contract structure, he's got a player option followed by a guaranteed year. Don't see that much. http://hoopshype.com/salaries/golden_state.htm tkfu, go, easy, on, him. He's, a, good, guy. Hopefully, I, made, up, for, the, lack, of, commas. :) , Well, I don’t get the deal from NY’s perspective.
