Dwayne Casey to coach Raptors

Also notably the first departure from the champion Mavs.

Raptors hire Mavs assistant Dwane Casey as coach

The Toronto Raptors hired Casey as their coach on Tuesday, nine days after the Dallas assistant helped the Mavericks win the championship.

Casey succeeds Jay Triano, a Canadian who became a consultant after the Raptors finished 22-60. Casey was the head coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves from June 2005 to January 2007, compiling a 43-59 record.

Casey said his No. 1 goal is to give the Raptors a “defensive identity.”

It's an intangible but Casey + Kemba would bring some winning culture to the sadsack Raptors. Solid hire.
