    But I was told that all of the assistants hated Nurse because he’s a big meanie?

    That means we have one assistant coach left? Darko is going to built his coaching staff from the ground up

    lmao so were just opening back up in the middle of the day? Couldn’t even commit to the stupid protest eh?

    I saw him jogging the day of the press conference welcoming Darko, first time I saw a coach in the downtown core. Next day he’s gone. Lol

    Both Earl Watson and Rico were Pascal’s guys. I wonder if this signifies he might get moved?

    This seems like a huge loss for us, but then again for such a seemingly huge signing we had one of our worst player development years the year he was hired.

    At the end of the day, who knows what was going on but starting fresh is probably for the best. I hope Big Kat can hang around for the vibes though 😅

    Makes sense he wanted to follow nurse. Now we get to see who Darko brings in

    A big name in player development? Huh, interesting given the Raptors have generally sucked ass with player development during Nurse’s tenure.

    Remember when people around here were convinced Siakam was staying because his brother is a coach for the 905 and Rico Hines is one of the coaches for the Raptors?

    This is basically meaningless outside of the fact that it looks like Nick Nurse wasn’t the evil anti-social dictator some of y’all were claiming he was.

    I never got the fascination of rico Hines. All the information we have about him is that he hosts off season runs. When he speaks in them he basically says work hard and treat it real. I haven’t heard anything technical. Honestly runs like that are kind of useless. Especially for guys like Siakam now. They play so many minutes a year they don’t need more game time. What they need is focus drills that are driving into specific skills. Idk kind of glad we cleaning house.

  12. None of our young guys showed much growth and development last year so I’m not hurt by him leaving

    That fucking sucks for us. Rico is one of the most respected development guys in the biz.

  14. Future-Tart

    What did he develop last season? Genuine question. We got worse?

  15. mxgicjohnson

    Interesting to see how many teams have tried to leech shit off of our whole org since the chip

    First the clippers now philly lol i’m sure they’ll get FVV too

    Not sure about the hype, he came last season and so many Rico runs highlight on YouTube and how Scottie will improve his shooting. The whole raptors in fact regressed.
