>The Raptors have narrowed down the field to three or four candidates and are scheduled to hold a final round of interviews in Toronto this week. A decision is expected by the end of next week but could come as early as this weekend.
>As they get closer to naming Nurse’s successor, the sense is that they’re leaning towards an up-and-comer as opposed to a journeyman head coach. While they’ve explored the possibility of bringing in vets like Williams, Rivers, or Frank Vogel, that hasn’t gained much traction, according to a source.

Excellent news.
Cool
It’s jordi time! Lesgo
Pancakes
So this all but confirms that when the news broke that “the Raptors already have a hire in mind” at the start of this that Sergio was the guy they had in mind, right?
also David Adelman. Probably not mentioned because he’s still busy trying to win a chip.
I would not mind any of the 3, if we are unlocking point forward Scottie it would make sense to get one of these guys.
I have both of those guys as my #1 and 2 preferred coach. Great news if true. I’d be really happy with either Scariolo/Fernandez and Jordan Hawkins as the Raptors off-season acquisitions
Whoever it is, I hope, if we can trade up, we focus more on developing Scottie and the newest member with some better role definition and direction.
Jordi fits the needs better even just for age and actually fewer European connections.
I like both happy with either anyway
Bring us Jordi.
I’m horni for jordi
“A decision is expected by the end of next week but could come as early as this weekend”
I see them hiring Sergio. He is HC with Virtus Bologna who play their semi finals match on Friday, if they lose they’re out, that could be leaning towards a Sergio hiring over the weekend. However if they win, they would play their finals sometime next week.
Maybe they are pushing for Sergio. He would immediately become the HC after his season is over with Virtus Bologna.
Idk just my speculation.
Man I can’t wait till we get a head coach. Seems like every team got a new coach except us and the Suns I guess but I don’t care about them. I’m fine with either coach but I’m leaning more towards Scariolo. He has won with the Spanish national team and I liked his time with the Raptors
If Bobby and Masai don’t make a decision soon Jordi might end up with Suns. Really want Jordi as our head coach
