He drafted Francis, despite Francis indication that he would not go to Vancouver, he didn't want Steve Nash, b/c he didn't think he was that good and he used the Grizzlies first pick to draft Big Country Reeves!

I think Damon Stoudamire and later Vince Carter had a big part in the Raptors survival. Its true Stevie Francis could've been that type of franchise player for the Grizz.

Michael Heisley can rot in hell for all I care, the guy had no right to do what he did. And who's idea was it to have Stu Jackson as the guy calling the shots (David Stern anybody?) Vancouver was and still is a great city for a 'well managed' NBA team . . . now if only I had a couple $100 million . . . being born and raised in Vancouver as well as still residing there, this is still a sore spot with me.

STU JACKSON. the guy who put together the first Team USA to lose in international competition since how long? the same guy who issued the suspensions in the suns-spurs series a few years back...it was just horrible management. safe to say, i do not feel sorry for steve francis right now that his career is going the way it is. perhaps it's karma. vancouver would be a great nba city if the team was actually decent. attendance was not as bad as ppl indicated.
