P.J. Carlesimo is the only assistant coach who remains under contract for next season.
I thought that was a curious suggestion. What does that really mean? Carlisle was going to do cartwheels?...or...send Chandler over as part of a package?...or promise to supply BC's next shirt order? He must have had too much champagne. In any case its all good. Wonder if BC called McHale in Houston and asked him the same for PJ?
I thought last year was the "one more year"? Why are we constantly moving the goalposts on this guy?
I recall when it was Sam Mitchell's tough love approach that was holding back Bargnani and Triano's more relaxed approach was exactly what was needed. Now, Triano was too soft and Casey's hard-nosed approach is the answer.
Now, he needs a "real" centre. How about we put a real centre next to Ed Davis instead? Ed Davis is already a better defender, rebounder and shot blocker than Bargs. He is also a more efficient, though not as prolific, scorer. Why don't we see what Davis can do rather than waste yet another year trying to tweak every possible variable on this team to suit a guy who hasn't improved in 3 years.
He loves DeMar. To me it sounds like Casey is probably going to expect him to step and be "the man" on offense in particular but also on defense.
Bargnani doesn't fit the team at all anymore. The writing is on the wall guys. Time to let go.
The writing is indeed on the wall. However, I will believe it when he packs up his bags and leave. There's absolutely no way the AB fits in Casey's plans. I simply don't see it. I know that there's tireless efforts being made to compare Andrea to Dirk, but his lack of effort in rebounding, boxing out, weak-side help and blown rotations alone will drive Dwayne crazy.

Bargnani is the kina guy that can score 60 and still piss me off...there is something annoying about him..even his spagetti commercial is annoying..
ESPN / AP with the pulse of the Raptor's:

"Casey said he intends to use Triano as a "resource" and build on what he sees as a core of young talent that includes guards DeMar DeRozan and Jerryd Bayless, center Andrea Bargnani and forward Amir Johnson.
Ah, nice work. Really hit those names on the head. Way to pick out the players we respect. Did you pick names out of hat?
“I have no idea who Chukwudiebere Maduabum is, but on his Draft Express profile, he’s listed as Chu Chu. I think he’s worthy of picking just for that. He immediately is in the running for best All-Time NBA name.” -Tim W.

- Roth
