Only way Messina, or any other Spurs coach, considers the Raptors is if Kawhi is actually not considering to remain with their franchise or his injury will cause him to drop in play.
Pop is nearly done with coaching.

Exposure? and maybe it’s something regarding Kawhi. A coach coming in under contract for 3-5 years with this core (which will remain here for another 2 years) is not a better situation as having Kawhi heading into 2020.

Dont worry, I will quote/refer back to this when he gets hired as the next Head Coach of the Toronto Raptors in 2-Max 4 business days.

mike brown is even worse than case
I don’t like Mike Brown. He’s still better than Casey. Regardless, he has interviewed a few guys and he has not hired any one of them. This is not a free agent that we’re interested in. This is a much more simple process. Therefore, it tells me he has yet to actually interview who he’s interested in hiring. Coaches contracts are pretty much set with the standards.
i guarantee u mike brown will not be the coach of the raptors
hes a garbage coach

Mike Brown will not be the head coach of any team!

He was running post offense through LMA when he got to coach in the playoffs, and I think it is an outdated approach. If he doesn't realize this is a guard/wing league, I think he may not be a great fit with Toronto.
It is not like we want JV and Ibaka handling the ball more than they have to. It is not like we have Nikola Jokic waiting in the wings.
Maybe he will adjust his philosophy with the Toronto personnel, but he is an old coach coming from a highly structured system-team.

He was running the offense through LMA in the playoffs because they had literally no one else on that team that could break down the defense consistently. With LMA posting up against the Warriors small front court, at least they could hope to score in iso or draw a double team to get the ball to an open shooter or cutter. It nearly worked in Game 5 but LMA's teammates were flaming trash so the Spurs lost the series anyway instead of stealing that game.
He also states that his teams needed a minimum of 20 FGAs per game from the post. He talks about how the team should constantly look for opportunities to get the ball to the Center, where the defense is most forced to react. Messina is known for his development of post players and it seems clear from that article that he values low post players quite a bit. That isn’t to say that he only focuses on scoring from the post. His diagrams are full of all types of plays and the emphasis on getting the ball into the post seems more like "step 1" rather than the end goal. In a separate interview while with the Lakers, he talked about the importance of floor balance and ball movement.

Fair comment on the lack of options, but Messina does have a history of focusing on post-offense.He also states that his teams needed a minimum of 20 FGAs per game from the post.
