Woj: Casey will be back

Lewenberg, the actual raptors beat reporter, has been tweeting a bunch today but hasn't said Casey will be back, just that he's had a feeling all offseason he probably will. So nothing definite yet, just some NY clown looking for clicks.

Also, how many times do we give Casey all new assistants before we realize he's the fucking problem.
Keeping Casey and firing the assistants would be dumber than either keeping them all or firing them all, IMO.

Hopefully he hires his own guys that fit his style. No more half assed bullshit. If he stays as coach, let him do whatever the fuck he does so there's no more excuses. Then fire his ass next summer.

Talk of how BC had assistants who were "his guys", reporting directly to him and making Casey feel undermined, and how the new staff would be all Casey approved so that he wouldn't feel undermined. So these are supposed to be Casey's guys.I'm back. I no longer worship joe johnson

white men can't jump wrote: View PostThat's semantics. Approved means he had the power to say he does not approve, and thus he's completely responsible for who's on his staff. He also could easily have led the search for a new staff. Ujiri hires everyone, he's the president and GM. But if he gave Casey the power to assemble his own staff, which is what it seemed like at the time, again because of potential meddling from BC in the previous regime, I don't know why suddenly Casey needs "his own guys" in that staff. They're already there.
That or Masai is a dumbass too.I'm back. I no longer worship joe johnson

Other than Sterner, weren't all the assistants brought in on Ujiri's watch? Seems odd that they'd be replacing the staff again without a new head coach. Now, I could see potentially adding a Gentry-type like GSW did for Kerr. It would also give them a logical replacement when Casey is fired 30 games into next season.

That or Masai is a dumbass too.
Mitch Lawrence, a NY-based (you know, where the media is never writing random crap just for attention) who writes for NBC and Forbes, and who I don't think probably anyone here had ever heard of before this tweet.
Steve Simmons, a Sun writer who doesn't normally cover the team (and generally seems to cover hockey).
Guys who actually follow the beat seem to be cautious in talking about any of this nonsense. Lewenberg is paying some attention to it, saying impression (no sources, just an impression) is Casey will stay, assistants very highly regarded around league/organization and would be surprised if there's complete turnover. And I'd be surprised too.
