But what happens when that vision gets changed in the middle of the process?īefore he was fired, Bryan Colangelo made a few big moves to help put the Toronto Raptors in a good position for rebuilding. Sometimes it can be completed in a year sometimes it takes a couple of years to complete a vision. You need a series of trades, signings, and draft picks to shape the roster. To remake a team and take it from bad to good, you need time. One signing early in the rebuilding process will rarely complete a plan. A step sideways or ever a step back is often looked at as a failure for the franchise and a rebuilding plan gone wrong, but that's rarely the case. Most people want teams to take progressive steps all the way through and sometimes jump a few key ones in order to satiate our impatience and deliver on observed potential. It's hard to get better as a franchise without taking a step back, especially when you're in the middle of a rebuilding process.
Rudy Gay was the big move for the Toronto Raptors' rebuild.
