Leiweke: We don't believe Toronto the best place in the NBA for players to go to; we're going to change that.

"That's what shocked me the most: We don't believe [Toronto is] the best place to go to." Need to believe

#Leiweke really driving home the need to make #Raptors Canada's team. Cites campaign 2016 all-star game as a must have for this effort.

Leiweke: have talked to players and have been told by players flat out Toronto is their favourite city..where have u heard that before folks

Sounds like organization wants to beef up things where possible, such as state of art facilities. "We've been given green light to explore"

I would also predict that Raptors will/should buy their own D-League franchise.

"We have a great city and a great market to go and get great players." Need to have resources, like a training centre

With new CBA, recruiting is important. Still mostly about contracts and money, but some percentage is going to be about env. and atmosphere

Also, to those harboring fantasies of Chris Paul: Grunwald conceded it's highly unlikely Knicks will get under tax, thus no sign/trades

This wills surprise me - but Grunwald and Woodson said no indication that Kidd won't return. Very positive exit interview.

So there!: "@RichardAPeddie b ball practice facility never nixed b4 Just never had pan that made sense 4 management 2 recommend 2 board"

Leiweke: I would prefer not to make major decsions...when asked about who is acting as "the GM"

“This is not suddenly a hall pass where I believe we have months to make this decision. There is an immediacy that I feel.”

Jim Boeheim thinks the Knicks' roster sucks, outside of Carmelo Anthony of course. cbsprt.co/10izMGO

RE: Coach Casey ... Leiweke says that's up to the new GM

What could go wrong? MT @Howard Beck Short version of Woody/Grunwald presser: Great yr. Roster good. No major change needed. Future bright

At the moment, TL will be leaning on Colangelo and Stefanski to help them making decisions. Would prefer not to make major ones.

News items: Grunwald said he believes Kidd will return. Carmelo will have MRI on shoulder today. No comment on Smith free agency.

Leiweke: We have an ambition to be Canada's team; 2016 All-Star game will be centrepiece of a Raptors rebranding effort.

Leiweke says CANADA is bidding for 2016 All Star Game ... not just Toronto.

Toronto Mounties, eh.

"Re-branding" is a serious issue that Leiweke is talking about. Pushing CANADA's team...not just Toronto. Work to be done he says.

Leiweke: We have had conversations about our brand; our colour our makeup and our uniforms.

Leiweke: The 2016 All-Star game is a flag in the sand

Me: Colangelo can still succeed in Toronto if he re-brands Raptors right. ie. new name and everything. Raptors was and is ridiculous

"Toronto's not bidding on the 2016 all-star game. Canada is."

Things aren't always what they appear to be. Take a step back and read between the lines.

Does anyone know of local stores in Charlotte that sell iPhone microphones (directional) or is that something that's web only?

TL says there have been conversations about uniform, colours, conversations with NBA. Mentions 20th anniversary. Must have 2016 ASG.

Leiweke: We have to learn how to be Canada's team...we have had discussions about colours and branding of our team

Wait, who wants to win this? bit.ly/12rI4xt http://t.co/uyOdySniDL

"We are Toronto's team, but we have to figure out how to be Canada's team." Have had conversations about brand: colour, makeup, image

Short version of Woodson/Grunwald presser: Great season. Roster good. No major changes needed. Future bright.

Let's be real: Bryan Colangelo is the Raptors' "president," not president.

Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment's Tim Leiweke says on conference call that fate of coach Dwane Casey to be decided by new GM hired by Raps

Leiweke: I dont want to get into disruption ofother teams or ppl...when asked about where perimission has been sought re:other GM's

Mich-ael Gran-geee (clap, clap, clap-clap-clap)

TL declines to mention specific names as candidates. "I'll enjoy watching the speculation out there."

Lottery conspiracy theorists: which team is most likely to win No. 1 pick? ORL (lost Howard), SAC (new owner) or CHA (Hornet rebirth)?

Leiweke says the new GM will have final call on all management and coaches

I do not want to be - nor am I qualified to be - the GM. -- Tim Leiweke

Oh hi Jamal Crawford. es.pn/165s0Z1

All current coaches, management and players' statuses will be up to new GM. Holding pattern.

Live coverage of Lieweke conference call: sportsnet.ca/basketball/nba…

The Raptors "promoted" Colangelo, give him no bball power, let him pursue other jobs and say he needs to "live with" having no power. Got it

Search firm for a new GM in Toronto was not hired to do the process.. they were hired to help on gaining background informantion

Agreed. RT ‏@Paul Jones Can't interpret tone in print but folks...Leiweke is driving the bus here...no question about it

Leiweke Bryan will now help me with GM search ... but it's my search. Search firm is just to help with gathering background on candidates.

Gist of Grunwald/Woodson media session - This is your team. Continuity. Salary cap hell.

"Decision we will try to get done in the near future. Search firm is just doing background, not the process."

Search firm is simply doing background on candidates, says TL.

Carmelo Anthony is having an MRI on his left shoulder today.

A front like of David West, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan? What could possibly go wrong?

Can't interpret tone in print but folks...Leiweke is driving the bus here...no question about it

Leiweke: "I'm doing the search; we're waiting for permission on some GM candidates; others we haven't asked for yet."

The Raptors are hilarious. sbn.to/16JNevn

Leiweke says he has received permission to speak to some GM candidates and is still seeking permission to speak to others around the league.

Raps have received permission to speak to some candidates, seeking permission for others.

Y! Sports will be utilizing the best analyst in business, @Jonathan Givony, for mock drafts and insight. First mock comes post-lottery tonight.

Leiweke says he's doing the search. Search firm stuff isn't entirely accurate.

Leiweke: Bryan will have to take a deep breath at times ...sounds like GM will have the final say and Leiweke says he is doing the search

Tim Leiweke on Bryan Colangelo remaining w/Raptors but w/new GM making decisions: "He’ll have to live that. I hope he can."

Leiweke says Colangelo will have to take a deep breath sometimes; realize that the new GM is in charge.

Leiweke says that if another GM-type job opens up around the league, Colangelo is free to pursue it.

Woodson ends by calling it a great season. #knicks

As expected, Colangelo can pursue a new basketball position elsewhere if one comes up.

Carmelo Anthony is having an MRI on his shoulder today.

Colangelo is free to look for another basketball job with another team.

From today's Herald, Rangers remain upbeat in the face of another 0-2 hole: bostonherald.com/sports/bruins_…

Carmelo having a MRI today. #knicks

Leiweke: "Bryan is going to have to take a deep breath and realize a GM will have final say. He is going to have to live with that."

Leiweke: "Bryan is going to have to live with this; I hope he can because if he can't we're not going to fire the Toronto Raptors"

Grunwald calls Woodson his coach of the year. #knicks

“He’s going to have to live with that. I hope he can. If he can’t, I’m fairly certain we’re not going to fire the Toronto Raptors.”

If Dwight Howard gets D'Antoni fired, how does that affect your fandom towards D12? #BiggerFan or #LesserFan <=Answer w/Hashtags

Says Colangelo will have to take a deep breath every once in a while and realize things are different (he isn't boss anymore).

Knicks are over the tax apron so they can acquire someone via sign and trade (no CP3, then). But they can move their own FAs in a S&T.

The 4th-best lottery odds weren't kind to the #Suns six years ago but they're on the other end for tonight's lottery. bit.ly/10JYpeA

bit of "unique" situation, but given timing, his choices, "this is in everyone's best interest to make this work."

#TBJ / WATCH LIVE — Ep. 990, May 21 dlvr.it/3PX91D

Woodson said he talked to @Tyson Chandler about bulking up & developing a low post gm this offseason #Knicks

Leiweke says there's no budget for a new GM; ownership is committed to getting the right man

Woodson says Tyson needs to get on a weight program. #knick

Woodson: "Sky is the limit for that kid" talking about Shumpert. #Knicks

Rumors: Clippers targeting West. po.st/gOAydV

Raptors Tim Leiweke says "we need a new set of eyes," and that tho BC stays, new G.M. will have "final decision on all basketball issues."

"When people quote people on twitter without attribution."

Leiweke; GM will have the final say on all basketball matters

Sounds like Raptors will be building basketball training facility; one of Colangelo's new responsibilities. Plan was nixed by board in past.

No specific budget for GM. Ownership is committed.

There is no budget (for GM). Ownership very committed to winning. Search for right person, not to fill the slot.

Stoudemire could work again with Hakeem this summer. #Knicks

Kobe tweets he wants Howard and Gasol back with Lakers dlvr.it/3PX7gp

Still looking to land 2016 ASG, expand Raptors presence in Canada considerably

Leiweke :Bryan has a wealth of information...but a new set of eyes is needed

New GM will have "final decision on all basketball-related issues, and they will report to directly to myself."

Tim Leiweke cites "accountability" as one reason Bryan Colangelo is no longer GM. Said Raptors need a "new set of eyes and thinking."

Tim Leiweke says #raptors relationship with Canadian basketball is poor and club wants to host 2016 All-Star Game

Looking forward to the Mavs claiming the 1st pick in the draft tonight. Good times.

Respects Colangelo. Don't want to just throw that away.

"We have work to do this in the organization. We're not good enough. I still think Bryan can help in a lot of those areas."

"Sky is the limit for that kid" Woodson on @Iman Shumpert #Knicks

Leiweke- keeping Colangelo after meeting with NBA people and spending a day at then NBA office we are trying to have the best of both worlds

Leiweke: "We need a new set of eyes and new thinking."

"I think he will be a bigger piece of the puzzle" #Knicks head coach Mike Woodson on @Iman Shumpert's future

"There is accountability here. We need a new set of eyes and a new thinking about … how we go forward."

Grunwald on Boeheim's remarks. Said he's so loyal to Melo, that's where remarks stem from.

TL met with basketball people around league, as well as people w/in organization for last 2 weeks.

Woodson says STAT mentioned working w/ Hakeem Olajuwon again this summer #Knicks

In which I explore small market success and the new collective bargaining agreement: bit.ly/10M8bB2

Grunwald keeps talking about building the core, getting better from within.

Lowe gets the first question. Intruder!

Is the (assumed) Hornets announcement enough of a big deal where people will be congregating anywhere in particular to watch it tonight?

Even if Pistons don't win lottery, IU's Victor Oladipo could fall right in their lap on draft night. I suspect they'll be force again soon.

Would you rather have Avery Bradley or Iman Shumpert?

Happy Birthday to the "Big Cat" Jamaal Magloire..@KyaPublishing ...when do we see the Caribana float #jumpup

Woody on JR: "he has to grow on and off the court." #knicks

If you want someone to walk in your office, just fart ... basically guarantees visitors. Same thing goes for elevators.

Bingo MT @forumbluegold: Cliff Notes version of Dwight & MDA: both needed to be better at their jobs & put their feet in their mouth less.

Woodson said he'll evaluate the situation over the summer but ultimately depends on his health concerning STAT starting next yr

Grunwald said Amare could be under minutes restriction next year. #Knicks

Grunwald said could be minutes restriction on Stoudemire. On his health. "We're hopeful but there's no guarantee."

Woodson said he hasn't made a decision regarding whether Amar'e Stoudemire will start or not next season.

APNewsBreak: Yankees, Manchester City to partner owning NYC MLS team that starts play in 2015

Leiweke said the decision to keep Colangelo as president was solely his own. No pressure from board members.

Cool calm hold hold music on this Raptors conference call. Everything is going to be allllllllright, guys.

Grunwald said Amar'e could be on a minutes restriction next year.

NBA Draft lottery winner prediction: Pistons. They'd take McLemore. And just imagine Knight, McLemore, Monroe & Drummond in a few years.

Glen Grunwald says Knicks salary cap status precludes them from acquiring a player in a sign & trade. So Chris Paul, no. Not even Cliff Paul

I wish BC all the best in his new role..he and his family love Toronto so I'm glad he will continue to raise his children there.

One man's opinion..like MINE--if Raps are smart they find a place in the front office for Jack Armstrong. Knows hoops, city, culture. Do it!

Nuggets GM Masai Ujiri, previously worked with Raptors, still has a strong friendship with Bryan Colangelo which could ease possible reunion

Woodson called it "a wonderful season."

As Glen Grunwald confirms this morning the #Knicks can't execute a sign-and-trade, that will (should?) quell some of the CP3 stuff

Have to think this arrangement will be temporary pending availability of something better for BC going forward elsewhere.

The odds that the Magic win the lottery tonight are worse than Dwight Howard making consecutive free throws (25% vs. 33%). So there's that.

Colangelo's role as Raptors president will include consulting to Leiweke on basketball but also expanding Raptors footprint nationally. /3

Bryan Colangelo will be staying on with the Raptors is the role of president; new GM will report directly to Leiweke /1
