A fight with your own team isn’t always the best move, but one must salute his effort to make some noise on the way out
Slowly, the Toronto Raptors are turning from the NBA’s most interesting team into the mid-aughties Sacramento Kings.
There were about a million ways it could have gone wrong, prime among them Leonard turning to someone in the training gym and saying, ‘Tell that guy in the glasses to stop talking to me.’ This new Showtime approach from the coach did not exactly jibe with the team the Raptors became once Leonard abandoned them. A great team became a mediocre team that still walked and talked like it was a good team. It fooled people. For a while.
The formerly tight ship run by Raptors president Masai Ujiri began popping leaks last week. Stories ran suggesting that Nurse not only wanted to leave, but knew where he was going – Houston. They also had his replacement picked out – former Boston head coach Ime Udoka, a Ujiri friend. Just say ‘I quit.’ That’s what you’re actually saying there. Or ‘No comment.’ Or deflect. If you don’t want to be bothered by this, there are a lot of ways to avoid that.
