Contrary to the reports yesterday, Bryan Colangelo will remain president of the Toronto Raptors. So this means Woj was wrong. Wow. “Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment President and CEO Tim Leiweke announced Tuesday that he has revamped the senior leadership of the Toronto Raptors in preparation for next season.
