It's pointless to listen to Masai's and Casey's exit conf.
JV will be more involved. Our game style will change. Yada yada. Same shit every year.
So to blame the Coach on your way out the door may be a little disingenuous. Especially when it was Casey's same stubbornness that kept him on the court for a lot of this season when it became obvious that Norm was a better option.

I get the argument for letting the FA's walk and starting a rebuild right now, I don't get the "owners are too cheap" argument. The only guy they wanted who walked (for less money, key point here) is Tucker. Otherwise this team needed changes and Masai has made changes, they fully intend to be better. Some change makes a lot more sense than diving into the tax to bring last year's team back. It wasn't a finals team.
And the passionate owners e.g. Cuban is an ironic argument - that guy literally won a championshiop then ruined his roster trying to duck the tax. He's spent the last 10 years or whatever in a hangover from that car wreck and has just now for the first time said the word "rebuild." Masai + MLSE ownership have been more succesful than Cuban the past 4 years."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

I'm sure DC knows that he hasd't lived up to expectations in Toronto but you know it has to really to hurt your ego as a professional when a team has to give up 2 assets just to get rid of your contract. I'm sure he's deflecting a little bit. The ISO ball reliance is a valid point but that shouldn't have had the crippling effect on Carroll's defence, shooting and just overall physical capabilities the way it did either. He was not very good for virtually his entire time in Toronto, although I will say that I don't think it was because of a lack of caring or effort.

In any case, my point is that the action itself is clearly not a move that is inherently counter to good team building. It's not as simple as its being painted.
