T.J. Who?

A fascinating behind the scenes look at the Raptors’ war room during the 2006 draft. Mr. Colangelo apparently wanted Marcus Williams pretty badly.

    “Get Danny up in Boston on the phone - he’ll tell me.” Classic.

    It sounded like Ainge became defensive when asked why he passed on Marcus and instead traded for Telfair. It seems like Ainge said something about the question being unfair. Colangelo responded by saying “No, it is fair. I need some help.” That video was absolutely captivating!

    “Really? You guys are going to be loong and deeep.”

    GM by day, porn producer by night.

    This video has completely changed my perception of Brian Colangelo.

    “What am I missing on Marcus Williams? Is there something I’m missing here?”

    How ’bout the fact he copped a handful of laptops? He’s a petty theif, Brian!

    And if memory serves, the Knicks had the pick right before Marcus was eventually drafted. Colangelo couldn’t even trick Isiah into giving up the pick? Cripes, who can’t pull a fast one on Isiah? He looked like me trying to make a fantasy footall trade. And this was after he traded for TJ Ford’s spine.

    If I was a Raptors fan, I’d be slightly nervous right now.

    Nice video man! Thanks for sharing it. I was especially interested in this because I wanted the Suns to draft Marcus Williams.

    Slightly Less Crazy…

    Firecodes will move the Cameron Crazies a few feet farther back from the court in Durham. Boo. Some great video footage from the Raptors “war room” during this past summer’s NBA Draft. Newly hired GM Brian Colangelo calls around and……
