Episode 1397
In Episode 1386, Sean Woodley reacts to Friday morning's announcement by the Toronto Raptors that they have fired championship-winning head coach Nick Nurse after five seasons with the team. Off the top, Sean digs into his biggest takeaway on the firing, why it feels like the right time for the Raptors to make this move despite all the success Nurse has had, and why the internal locker room dynamics that seemed to decay under his leadership are the biggest reason the move makes sense, not his outside the box preferred playing style. Next, Sean sifts through some of Masai Ujiri's comments on the firing and the off-season that lies before the Raptors. Ujiri clearly indicated the team has no plans to tank, and Sean thinks that's good. However, should there be some concern with Masai declaring his belief in Malachi Flynn and Dalano Banton, or will the front office have a plan to tackle the team's weakness for which it is most to blame: the team's lacklustre depth beyond the top 7 or 8 guys. Lastly, Sean looks at what comes next for the Raptors, specifically as it relates to the extremely important Scottie Barnes, whose growth over the course of this season and into this summer were big focuses of Ujiri's presser, and who the next coach might be. Ime Udoka? Jerry Stackhouse? Patrick Mutumbo? Someone else?
