    Why would we trade for Mobley? He's borderline untouchable for Cleveland.

    We can also get our own Mobley by drafting Jarace Walker if we want a guy with that archetype and defensive potential.

    Tillfart actually opened up his wallet. So I apologize (assumed he was gonna go the cheap boring route and hire Vogel). Super psyched about the hire. Guess this means Landry's employee numbers are about to go down drastically.

    Once again, most people will take the warmer climate over freezing Canada. Can’t blame him.

    Silas doesn't have the balls to bang an executives wife. Very happy we got this soft wuss out of here.

    I'm genuinely in disbelief. I was not expecting something this good to happen.

    Exaggeration, in surveys about 60% like warm, 40% like cold. He already coached in Boston which has a similar overall climate, so I'm sure he's familiar with cold winters.

    Anyway, my point was, Toronto is widely considered one of the top cities in the world for quality of life, business, entertainment, etc (you can go down the list of categories, it's pretty long). Sorry to say this, but Houston is, well... not. I can't speak for Udoka, but just to speculate, I would have to imagine it was more about basketball reasons and/or not wanting to work for that Toronto front office.

    **** Mobley that damn scrub ain’t doing SHIII right now in the playoffs. He’s a Bonafide scrub who’s getting exposed right now who can’t shoot worth a shiii nor play any elite defense.

    Thank you Stone!

    Maybe the stupid decisions were all or of the tank.

    I bet by the end of training camp 20 laps around the gym will be referred to as a head honcho.

    Good 1st step. Now we need to surround him with a good coaching staff.

    Does he get to pick his own assistant coaches?

    Toronto from November to March is miserable, which is what the NBA season is. I live here

    Great hire!! Stone doing a great job rebuilding so far

    Waiting for the "Udoka is racist!!!" thread when he holds Sengun accountable for not playing defense

    Well, different strokes for different folks and all. Anyway, doesn't matter why he picked the Rockets, but he did, so... here we go. Let's see how this plays out. Don't think he's the type who will put up with much nonsense from KPJ, regardless

    He should hold everyone accountable. Nothing racist about that. Sengun has a lot to learn, like all of our young guys. I love that we hire Ime!
