Everything Nick Nurse

Toronto requested permission to hire Chris Finch away from Alvin Gentry's staff in New Orleans, league sources say, but the Pelicans denied them permission, valuing Finch's contributions in his first season with the Pels highly

New Raptors coach Nick Nurse was an assistant coach under Finch on Great Britain's Olympic team in 2012 and naturally had strong interest in trying to bring Finch and his offensive stylings onto his bench in Toronto https://t.co/YX4W83rbAr

His salary is what it is. He wouldn't be the first highly paid third option in the league, and in any case it doesn't matter, giving him shots just because his salary is high is stupid.

I think Finch has the associate head coach title so the Raptors really can’t offer a better promotion. Usually you can steal an assasitant if you offering him a promotion like lead assistant or of course a head coaching position.

I could be completely off here, but I wonder if the denial was from Gentry himself since Finch is his staff....and how much of that denial had to do with Casey getting fired for what many of his colleagues would feel was for unjustified cause. Like are the Raptors going to get the cold shoulder or have they damaged their relationships with other teams to some degree?
