When you're kept on or reassigned, it means you've been put out to pasture collecting a check.
We saw it with Raptors when Triano was not fired but became an advisor.
We saw it with Colangelo when Masai was brought in.
And I wouldn't want anything to do with Casey's ranking of players. He is the one who was initially high on Ross - only to bury him on the bench for 2 seasons. Now Ross is desperately needed and he is M.I.A. Maybe this was always who Ross was going to be? However playing him in his first two seasons might have made this realization sooner rather than later - when he is needed - and thus he could have been replaced.

Return it to its rightful owners in San Antonio?
I remember when I first started working years ago and my idiot boss had a bright, yellow hard hat he would give to one of his team at the end of every week as a "reward" and you'd have to wear the damn thing around the office all day looking like the special needs guy from the mailroom. There was a Japanese guy who "won" it his first week before anyone knew his name so he became known as Pikachu. Guy worked there for 2 years and no one knew his name, just called him Pikachu.... pretty sure some of the traders thought that was his name.

Honestly, this poll is so ridiculous that it led to me registering just to comment. So, I guess, if the intent of the poll was to increase participation in the forum, well done.
That being said, how could anyone calling themselves a fan of the Raptors actually want the team to lose in the first round?? Haven't we been tortured enough over the last two decades? And Casey is certainly not the best coach in the league, but he's not nearly as bad as the many of the amateur "coaches" on this forum claim.

There's no need to make things personal. I'm all for people voicing their opinions whether I agree with them or not. It's part of what makes the forum fun.
I was pleasantly surprised that there are as many people whom would rather see the Raptors win a playoff series than see them lose just to see the coach fired, as I'm not a fan of the fire casey movement.

Honestly, I just can't wait for the playoffs to start so we can (hopefully) get a break from #firecasey for a few weeks. There's like 19 threads. I don't like the guy either but some of you are becoming obsessive. All I can read is either negativity about casey or derozan. We've got a VERY long offseason to talk about all this shit, hopefully now or very soon we can start living in the present and start (gasp) getting behind the team. And yes, for the millionth time, I see the flaws, were not a contender, bla bla bla.u but like I say we've got months of non games to discuss this shit, and its already beaten to death. As of today, and especially come april 18, its let's go raptors all day. Crumudgeons, you can go sip your haterade and "I told you so" tea while frowning at your tvs, ill be drinking beer in raptor gear and screaming at mine.9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum
