My point is that in order to be able to make trades for quality players you need to be able to offer quality back. What Colangelo has assembled with what he was given has been nothing short of spectacular IMO. Now that he has a much more talented roster he will be able to chase more talented players and actually have a chance to land them because of what he is able to offer other teams. This is a luxury Toronto fans have never seen. People need to remember that Colangelo is still in the early stages of building this franchise, it took him years in Phoenix to build what they have now and I would not be surprised if it took him another 3-4 years to build a championship contender in Toronto. It takes time to assemble the right pieces but i have faith the wait will be worth it in the end.

Exactly, toronto sports fans in particular have a huge issue with lack of patience. Quit demanding winning all the time when its not possible. Be happy the team is making the playoffs and see that in a few short seasons it should be one of the leagues best with colangelo at the helm.
