Fan 590 is reporting that he is firing a huge chunk of the scouting staff...looking for confirmation now...This is good news.
EDIT: Found the report.
Gone along with Stefanski are long-time scout Jim Kelly, pro scouting director, vice-president of pro scouting Dave Pendergraft and two regional college scouts.
I like this. These are very specific moves, rather than getting rid of every body. Only someone with knowledge of the team could make these moves. So relieved Kelly is gone. He's been with the Raptors forever... Wish him luck, but always wondered how he kept his job through so many regimes. He started with the team in 1994! What the hell!Last edited by blackjitsu; Sun Jun 2, 2013, 02:11 PM.

He can interview for the Nuggets job!
Ujiri should try and lure his asst. in Denver Pete D'Alessandro who I understand is a cap guru and helped greatly with the Melo and multi team deals involving Nene, Afflalo, Bynum, McGee etc. He needs his own people.

MLSE should at the very least inquire about the availability of Jerry Sloan. The guy is a legend coach:

Short of that there is Nate McMillan:

Nuggets fans dislike their coach, that's all I need to know, to not want him. Too many lessons proved me right, that if a person isn't welcomed in his team by the fans, then he won't be any better in TO.Official Pope of the Raptors sponsored by MLSE.

Don't know much about this guy, but seems like Ujiri's fitting in nicely. Two guys gone in a matter of one day.Twitter - @thekid_it

Some would say that with the talent Nelson usually had at his disposal, he had no business even being in the play-offs, but he got them there anyway. It's not like he had the luxury of playing small ball with LeBron, Wade and Bosh.

Why would Karl come here? Does he need challenges at this point in his career? I am not sure he is completely free of his health issues either and there have been rumblings in Denver that Ujiri and Karl were starting to disagree on personnel (McGee) and possibly playing style issues.

After a long, successful run w/ Nets, Maury Hanks joined Toronto a year ago w/ Stefanski. More front office changes on the way for Raptors.
