Bryan Colangelo was not asked to remain general manager of the Toronto Raptors, but he did accept a non-basketball corporate position within the organization.

MLSE hired Tim Leiweke as CEO and he decided the Raptors needed to make a change in the front office.

"It's a unique situation for me to be in, but not an ideal one," said Colangelo.

Colangelo was named the 2005 Executive of the Year with the Phoenix Suns and again in 2007 with the Raptors.
