Who's going to be the new head coach of the Toronto Raptors?

[Kagemusha]

I don't get your point. Winning players means when they played they won their minutes. When they sat the team bled points. And they lost half their games because of that. Depth was a serious issue. As was the way the team was put together (not many shooters, only brought in a true center in February, etc).

I don't get your made up term either . Lol

This is good, didn't want them to be competing with us for a coach.

exactly....another "storied franchise"

[The Claw Reborn]

Yeah, newsflash, none of us can tell the future. I'm just laying out my thinking - that I think they'll be real good if they run it back, and much worse than real good if they lose talents like Fred and Pascal, but also not nearly bad enough to keep our pick reliably. None of which is inconsistent with my stance re: how important Pascal and Fred are to our team, which is what you accused me of.

You nickle and dime wins and losses lol.

With the little difference in numbers, you engaged PM in a rabbit hole/ never ending loop of your patented mental calisthenics

Masai waiting for the finals outcome until he announce his new hire.

Maybe a toss up between Adelman and Quinn

NN waited to get a new gig then thanked the City and Raptors Fans via his IG Account.

good luck NN

piece of advice and hope it reaches him : stay away from putting all your eggs in one basket and never rely on mediocre talent to lead your team. Hopefully this time you have a superstar in Embiid to roll out your vision. If ever your boss Morey acquire your surrogate son, utilize him like you how you used him in 2018-19.

Real GM's Twitter has it down to 3 guys:

Sergio Scariolo, Jordi Fernandez, Darko Rajakovic

If they're right, I would be good with Sergio or Jordi. I know nothing about Rajokovic

[The Claw Reborn]

not sure what to think of the scariolo rumours. obviously a very accomplished coach, i'm just skeptical that an old guy who struggles with english can reach the average nba player.

at least he could get on them in fake italian to not hurt their feelings. (his interviews out of halftime frequently reminded me of this clip because of his propensity to just answer a completely different question from the one he was asked)

Sergio and Jordi are one of the three finalist. Hopefully one of the remaining assistant coaches (Adelman or Quinn) who are still fighting it out in this last playoff series is included in the final 3.

But you do have a solid and valid point, the language barrier could be an issue, Sergio’s success in Spain and Virtus Bologna with players communicating with him and vise versa is different from relaying his day to day point of view to these players/ his own assistant coaches/ referees and media here in North America/ Canada.

Although Jordi who was born in Badalona Spain have better command of the English Language. He is young with a background in sports psychology that may come very useful in difficult situations

We will find out soon.

“Sergio Scariolo will meet with the Toronto Raptors leadership in the coming hours. This is reported by Walter Fuochi di Repubblica The Brescia coach, running for the Canadian bench, will fly to Toronto after the series with Derthona”

Could most likely be their guy.

[The Claw Reborn]

If Sergio, I hope he could nab Jordi or one of the finals Assistants as his lead assistant

Have you guys ever listened to him speak English?

His command of the English language seems pretty damn good to me.

Here is a 20 minute post game interview when he was an assistant with the Raptors.

I have a much easier time understanding him than a lot of NBA players born in the USA.

[planetmars]

His team's in the semi's and yet he's flying out to Toronto to talk to Masai and Bobby. My money is on him being our next coach.

[planetmars]

Could most likely be their guy.

You beat me to it

Yeah if he's flying all the way to Toronto while in the playoffs that probably means he's a lock.

[LJ2]

Could be Sergio, but not a lock. Raps are obviously still conducting interviews or they'd be flying out to wherever Segio is.
