Not even winning a championship for the Toronto Raptors can provide job security in the NBA

messiah Yujiri was out with the Raptors and this was a person who I knew to be good at his job he won a championship in Toronto he made the right moves that allowed him to get the right players this was someone who’s talented at his job but the thing that I wanted to present to the audience because these things expire fast right that genius is now gone there was a time could have had just about any architecture plan he wanted because he was such a hot executive he won in Toronto how the hell did they win a basketball championship in Toronto all of that goodwill is gone because the Raptors haven’t been relevant recently and the thing that I wanted to ask you guys about what we’re asking these GMs to be in the modern age when they keep up with evolution and so what you’re asking these GMs to do is not merely win and be competitive but it’s also stay ahead of the entirety of the curve because UI won it one way and then it super teams came back and won it again and now we’re back to it’s not really a super team as what it has to be it now looks a little bit more like what UI built in Toronto and so when I ask you the assessments right now of that guy won a championship in Toronto you can credit Kawhi Leonard if you want but we all discovered Pascal Seakum at the same time during those playoffs yugjiri’s reputation was solid as the young executive who knows what he’s doing and now he’s fired and I assume he’ll get another job i assume he’s still respected but what did he buy himself with that championship if a few years later winning a championship in Toronto gets you fired
i don’t get that move at all and I did a I I implore the audience to go check out that 2019 Raptors roster because at the time it felt like this is a funky little outlier that took advantage of some Golden State injuries that team would still be in the conversation right now they were faking loaded and they were at the very start of this new way of roster construction in the NBA he did it in Denver he did it in Toronto toronto was feisty uh they seem to be I would certainly hand over the keys continue handing over the keys to Messiah Yugjiri and say we trust you in this NBA you’ve done it once before i don’t really get the move there has to be more to it
