My concern or question would be, is he the guy to take it beyond round 1 of the playoffs. I really don't know the answer to that, but since he wasn't extended I'm sure we will see what happens this yearFor still frame photograph of me reading the DeRozan thread please refer to my avatar

Casey isn't a very good coach. There's a reason he has a career 27% winning % in the playoffs and that the Raptors did the unheard of, swept with home court advantage.
The team won despite him.Heir, Prince of Cambridge

The thing I like most about Masai is that even when he makes a bad decision (e.g. sign GV to a contract extension) he's still able to correct himself and turn that choice around into something good/positive (trade for Powell + 1st round pick). Many GMs don't have that ability and aren't able to see where they went wrong-- unless its way way after the fact. Masai takes responsibility and doesn't complain. I think its one of his more admirable qualities as a GM and part of the reason why i find it difficult not to like the guy.#JaysWinningLikeItz93'

That sounds awesome.
Next time you have a few hours to kill, do it?
Do it.

I think if we look at the guys who are actually going to play... our 9 or 10 rotation is still fairly experienced.
Lowry is 29 or 30, Carroll is 29 or 30, DeMar is 25, Scola is 58 (probably)For still frame photograph of me reading the DeRozan thread please refer to my avatar

Curry (26), Klay (24), Green (24) & Barnes (22). Damn.
with Iggy (31) or Bogut (30), to play small or big.

-Mostly at the deep end of the bench (Powel, AB...) and 2nd unit (Byombo, KJo... They replaced (mostly) vets that were of low usage (Hayes, Fields, TH, Stiemsma...), and yes a couple of usefulls vets (Lou & GV).
As for our starters DC replaces TRoss & likely (IMO) Scola replaces Amir.
Overall, I'd say we added experience (and durability) with starters , whereas 2nd unit is a massive improvement on D.

If one of the vets play slips or if a young guy really explodes, then the youth works his way into the starting line up. Eventually the youth becomes the vet and new youth is added.
