Raptors Close to Hiring Casey?

Lol.. Casy will be alright... Colangelo should have had Adleman lined up when he fired Try A no. It would ring more to BC if he had 2-3 specificv people in mind when he let go of our previous coach. Im not saying Casey wasnt a consideration when he fired Try a No but it kinda looks like he fell into this... My prediction is that the team will improve, but the credit can be given to the overall position the organization and the players as much as it will be given to the coach. More like a Sam Mitchell 2.0 and less like what Doug Collins did with Philly this past year.O D da system.

And even if he was a big factor, it doesn't necessarily mean he'd make a good head coach. Again, I'm not saying he's not a good coach, but I think people are putting far too much weight on one successful playoff run.
As to how to determine whether he'd make a good head coach? I really don't know, but I think probably a lot more research than watching him sit on the bench on television.

All I have to say is: Woooooooh! let's start planning the parade!
Note there is a difference b/t "hired" and "clear favorite".

I think his experience with a championship calibre team and coach can only help the Raptors organization. This alongside his own head coaching experience of almost seven years, he is a pretty good choice.
I agree being with Boston is good experience under Rivers but that is a complete opposite situation then ours. Casey spent time working for the Mavs but worked for George Karl in Seattle. Casey's resume is good enough and is better suited for a rebuild then Frank. Remember how great Frank was with out Kidd, Carter and Jefferson? Or how completely average they were with?

That defensive system was brought to the team through an assistant coach. That assistant coach got a head coaching job, turned his new team into a beast, and won coach of the year. Dallas just won the championship while being praised for their defense that was mostly the brainchild of the assistant coach. I know Toronto isn't Chicago, but we've got nothing to lose and the model seems like a good one to follow. I'm all for giving Casey a shot.your pal,

Look, all I'm saying here is that you can't take the worse of Frank and the best of Casey and make a decision upon that.your pal,

So they've got a 29 year old center with a history of injuries being vastly overpaid, and the rest of the club a good 2 or 3 years away from really hitting their prime, and you probably don't even make the playoffs. Then DeRozan's contract needs to be extended, then Davis', and then whoever they draft next and the Raptors are paying out the nose for a mediocre team. Probably not the best idea.

Agreed with the the best/worst point. Either way I'm happy as both would be an upgrade to Jay IMO
