Uhhhh someone fill me in on this guy
Sergio in shambles
Former Canadian bros what do I need to know
don’t know shit about him how do raptor fans feel
All-time year for Serbians
Whoa a surprise selection!
Know nothing about the guy but his name is top tier
It’s simple. Just hire a guy with -ic as his last name and win a championship
I know nothing. Great hire. Raps champs next year and are gonna get the first pick.
Good time to bring over some of that Grizzlies culture
Just like every coach not named Kerr, Popovich, or Spoelstra he’ll be out of a job in 2-5 years
Memphis fans, tell me how to feel
NOOOOOOOOOOO
This is definitive proof that there are no good media sources for the Raptors whatsoever.
great hire. will be able to help a lot with shooting
Ajmo bre, congrats to him, hopefully he kills it
the Darko signing we’ve all been waiting for
Apparently was big for the development of the Grizzlies. That’s another roster with spacing issues so he might know how to navigate using the Raptors personnel
Doc Rivers really about to be jobless
Wild reactions rn. No one knows what to think. I honestly think that’s a solid thing.
Looks like the guy who gets spooked in Mulholland Dr
The coach that us Ić’s will cheer for.
Hiring Serbian coach means we basically gonna go after Jokic!
Gotta mean rebuild on the way right? Siakam to Blazers for third pick?
And now….Charles Lee come on down!
Best Darko in nba history already
I have no idea how to feel. Someone call Ja
This sub always thinks it’s so smart and then has no idea who the good up and coming coaches are

Seems like a progressive minded coach. Wanted Jordi, but not a bad hiring
Good for Toronto. Stop recycling coaches past their prime.
Except Mark Jackson, someone get him off tv.
I’m a Serb and this is the first time I’ve heard of this guy. I was hoping for Scariolo because of his international success but I’m not that mad since I don’t have high hopes for the next couple of years and who knows he might become one of the better coaches in the next few years. I just hope he doesn’t have the temper of other Serbian coaches since he’ll become jobless in the next week
We didn’t hire Glenn so this is a W no matter what
Never in NBA history has anything gone wrong with a person named Darko. Good Pick
I think Darko Milicic is exactly who Toronto needs to turn the ship around.
Cracking up everyone asking everybody else who this guy is.
Happy to see someone outside of the same recycled 5 coaches though.
JJ punching air right now
idk trustable name yall raptors fans are in good hands
Serbians FEASTING on basketball this year
