Re: Will trade Casey and Ujiri for Grunwald and Wittman
Ujiri is OK.
You all were right though. Casey is ungodly bad.
Can't believe I'm about to type this, but HalfWitt is a better coach.

Ujiri is the only thing standing in the way of Casey getting fired.

Gotta give you that.
But, given the assets Grunfail has squandered, there is no way Ujiri is worse.
He's taken a bunch of undervalued assets and created a good but not great team. Grunfail, on the other hand, has been gifted the # 5,1,6,3 and 3 pick in recent drafts (plus an additional couple of mid first rounders) and achieved mediocrity.

We will send Rosie O'Donnell and Sarah Palin to Canada in exchange for Rachel McAdams and Alexia Fast.

I think Masai got too much credit for it though, Ripping off Dolan is not exactly rocket science, and Ujiri got ripped off by "Grunfail" as you call him with Nene, am I right?

Whitman is a good coach.

Wittman is in the NBA record book for road playoff wins. What was this? Win 7 out of his first 8 road games?
Wall and Beal, despite my effusive criticisms, have gotten it done on the road in the playoffs.

Wall and Beal, if these guys grow balls and play like they did today, not only will they look good, but so will Whitman.
The defensive strategy is there, the offense no matter how limited it is, is in place because not many adjustments need to be made.
Look at Toronto , besides 2 or 3 minutes spurts, their offense looks like crap because of Washington's defense.
No matter how this looked in the regular season , it works well in the playoffs.

Yup. That's why Minnesota fired Casey and hired Wittman to replace. Must say Wittman has looked really good as a coach against us though.

Yep, he is actually a great coach... just not a good NBA coach

At least Wittman seems to know when to call a **** timeout.

You Toronto guys are looking at a SMALL sample size. Yes, the Wizards are whooping the Raptors, but...it's two games. If you'd spent the previous 82 watching the Wizards (and you still had any brains left in your head), you wouldn't be willing to trade for Grunfeld and Wittman.
If it was me running Toronto, I'd keep Ujiri and replace Casey. There are good coaches available.

What is so good about Ujiri, all he has shown is that he is no different from that loudmouth that used to be on your team, I think his name was Deshawn Stevenson (sorry if I brought up any bad memories for you lol), all he does is yap yap yap, but can't back it up, and by the way, didn't Grunfeld once rip off Ujiri with the Nene trade?

I think Casey is gone - if they lose the next game he is definitely gone.

I feel like Lowry isn't playing well, I'm not sure what Casey is supposed to do about it. They could try a new coach to see if he can develop some of their young guys (Jonas and Ross).
