Do you think Casey is going be here next year? Casey has only one more guaranteed year on his contract, his last year is fully unguaranteed
Casey will definitely be back next season. It'd take getting swept out of the first round for Casey to lose his job. The assistant coaching staff is more likely to see changes first. If we decline significantly next season replacing him will definitely be in play, but after this long he gets at least next season to try to keep us moving forward. As long as we're in the playoffs next season he should make it til the end of his guaranteed contract.
Like @Emperor_ReinScarf I've been a Raptor fan from day 1. I moved to Toronto in the summer of '95. Just the idea of going to an NBA game in person had me excited for the move. My first Raptor game in person was in the first season against Orlando. We lost 126-86. Penny Hardaway only scored 8 points but had an alley-oop I'll always remember. Last night was deja vu.
During the Vince years when the arena is almost empty an hour plus before the game I watched Stephen Curry and Seth shooting around. Making NBA 3's at 10 years old. When an usher told me those are Dell's kids it made sense. It'll always be special when Curry plays at the ACC as a pro.
For me last night was to watch Curry and that team do their thing. Seeing Kerr sitting down calmly during the action but then calling timeouts cuz the Raptors scored after a 5-minute drought made me think of Phil and then Pop. Kerr is going to be a great coach. He'd probably have the Knicks in the race for 8th place at least. Klay has gone to a next level. Speights has actually reached his potential, when he looked like he was going to flame out of the league after his run in Philly.
Bogut is incredible in person, and doesn't get the props he deserves. People call him a bust he's really a great player who got hurt. Marcus Camby went through that as well, earlier in his career, and finished a strong career and is getting a check from the Raptors in 2015. 1996 draft class, that's almost a 20-year career. Bogut can be around for a long time if his body holds up.
