Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages. The city of Toronto and Drake proudly present to you, it's greatest GM in Canada!, Soun Dwave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GM Soun Dwave: Welp, errrr, Thanks. I think. That was really uncalled for.
Announcer: What did you expect me to say?
GM Soun Dwave: Heeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeessssssss Dwave. Y'kno like heeerrrreee's Johnny.
Announcer: That was Ed McMahon. I am no Ed McMahon.
GM Soun Dwave: No Shit. You were just some unemployed dude begging on the side of the road who happened to have a nice voice so I hired you. I don't even know your name.
Announcer: Um, it's Doug
GM Soun Dwave: IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR NAME IS! NOW GET THE HELL OUT BEFORE I SHINE THIS BOOT UP, TURN THAT SON A BITCH SIDEWAYS, AND STICK IT STRAIGHT UP YOUR CANDY ASS!
GM: Soun Dwave: Now let's get to business. Look guys, I don't feel like being here. I don't like to have to explain myself. But according to league management it is something we have to do so here I am. I'm not really sure where to begin but I guess the end of last season is a good place to start.
IIRC, we were leading the division up until the last sim which had us play some of the top teams in the league all vying for playoff seeding. So due to fatigue from some older players and scheduling we let the division slip out our grasp yet again. And yet again we had to face off against the Celdicks in the 2nd round of the playoffs. Different year, same result. Although we are very proud of the effort our team put forth and our coaching staff devised a game plan that may have caught them off guard.
So into the offseason we headed. With the Spurs 96 pick in tow we came to the difficult decision that it was time to get younger. Then, as usual in Toronto, once again the sim gods spread the cheeks and ram cock in fucking ass. That pick, which we were prepared to land a stud young pg with, landed in the top 3 due to shitty lotto luck and the Spurs blatant and cheeky late season tanking. So this just became a bit harder than expected. Luckily in Toronto we are used to taking the hard route.
So we skimmed through our roster and decided that Bryon Russell was a player worth building around. Only problem was his offense and usage. He was not bad offensively by any means but our team lacked a true alpha scorer. After years of taking a defensive focus, we wanted to shift to a more offensive style. Russell could have been our stopper, but he was heavily coveted by other teams and allowed us to pull the trigger to get one of the elite young scorers in this league.
Michael Finley: I would like to thank the Raptors organization for their belief in me. They trusted me enough to send away their best young player and make me the franchise cornerstone. That is the type of love I did not receive from my former team. I promise to lead this team to great places in the future and to set the example of hard work and leadership
GM Soun Dwave: Thanks Michael, you have already set a high bar in the short time you have been here.
Now onto RFA. As you may know, Jon Barry was a player heavily respected in this facility. But the one thing we wanted more from him than anything was consistency. That is the one thing he could not provide. So with Michael now on board and a very large offer for Dallas, we decided it would be best to part ways. We would just not commit that kind of money to a player who we could not rely on game in and game out. Overall, it was an easy but sad decision.
But we now hope with the addition of Finley and promising young first round pick Othella Harrington that we have a base that we can build off of. Any questions?
Oh and as a courtesy, we are handing out Bucks trape whistles to all media members that asks a question. Remember, don't be a victim.
