2655960, This would have been like the Knicks firing Riley in 92-93

after they lost to the Bulls for the 3rd yr in a row.
He won 60 games with that team which was the 2nd best in the league (just like Tor winning 59 which was second to Hou).
The year after, MJ retires, Knicks go to the finals and lose.
Toronto might have had an opportunity next year if Bron leaves Cle and goes west (though Boston and to a less extent Philly would have been huge hurdles).
I think they gave up on him a yr too early. Sometimes it's just that ONE guy holding you back from getting there.
