Im smiling as I read the panic around here. Lots of people deserve this. Welcome to the new Richard Peddie era.

If true, the below says he's meeting with Rogers and the board next. What an idiot Pelley is. He thinks Casey can be like Pinball Clemons. Buddy this isn't the CFL. Bozo.

The Detroit Pistons front office executive — and former head coach — is a leading candidate for the Toronto Raptors' president of basketball operations position, according to a person with knowledge of the situation, who told the Free Press but requested anonymity due to ongoing discussions.

Casey has been through multiple rounds of interviews, and will meet with Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment for a final round this week.

I cannot see bobby working for casey lmao. We have such young smart talent in the FO and pelley is choosing to go with a 70 year old coach. I guess the criteria is who can kiss pelley/rogers behind the best

Honeslty don’t hate a Casey hire. Wasn’t a great Xs and Os coach but our best player development era did take place under his watch.

He also seems like the kind of guy who wouldn’t get overly involved in areas he doesn’t know (scouting?).

I wouldn’t really mind that hire, and I wasn’t a fan of his when he was our coach. But he could set a good culture which is likely more than you could ask for from a president.

The culture started and ended with lowry and derozan. I would argue lowry more. His "player development" was due to the FO drafting well and forcing him to play the young guys by not adding vets on the bench. If we left it up to casey we would have probably saw more of alan anderson over tross if they gave him a chance

Choosing Casey would be the most idiotic move this franchise has made. He has ZERO qualifications to run an NBA team.

I can't really see it working out with Bobby and anyone else they put in that position either. Getting passed over for the promotion and still wanting to stay long term isn't something that happens too often. Whoever the president is would also know Bobby wanted his job which is going to lead to a weird dynamic regardless of how professional both people try to be.

[Yallbecrazy]

Just curious, Casey is only known as a coach. How do you know he wouldn't make a good GM?

He played Calderon over Lowry

I don’t think he’s qualified to run anything but he did recruit Nurse to join. His decision making off the court isn’t too bad.

Even if his coaching abilities aren’t great.

Gotta be something better out there

[djsunyc]

if i remember right, casey does have allies on the board because he went over masai at one point to try and save his job.

whomever they hire will be on the side of ownership so i fail to see bobby sticking around after the season. maybe dan gets a promotion after that? whatever the case, interesting times.

just win baby!

[WiggOuts]

Looking at the available options, I'd love to hear what the people that wanted Masai gone have to say...yall were a very loud group, what colour is our grass looking right now?

If we had a competent owner, I would have been fine letting Masai go, but we don't. Ed Rogers is a **** idiot.

If i remember correctly it was BC who advocated for nurse to be added to caseys staff

In all fairness, that was always a part of the deal. Personally, Masai brought that level of comfort that was there in spite of ownership

I **** knew it. I **** knew Casey was coming for Masai's job as a clapback from getting fired after winning COTY.

This is realization came to me the first time Casey started attending Raptors home games immediately after stepping down as Piston's HC, and entering an unspecified FO role. He's been coming to Raptors games with his wife since two years ago even when the Pistons were not scheduled to play the Raptors in Toronto.

Edit: I knew I posted something as soon as I saw Casey's 5D Rock Chess dropping. That was the offseason he moved to an FO role and that horrible loss the PG thread is referring to came days after Casey was first welcomed to the ACC in the audience for a Raptors game where the Pistons were not the opponent, which I immediately found strange.
