    Lenny Wilkens is no longer coach of the Raptors. Who do you think will replace him?

    Lenny is a great coach, but let's face it...all of our players played like shit this year. Paul Silas, Byron Scott... ?

    i know the raptor's players had mixed feelings about lenny's departure. he had a lot of supporters, i know alvin williams was a big lenny fan, but mo-pete didn't like lenny's laid back attitude.

    vc made a pretty critical statement...

    "We've really taken on his personality and sometimes that's for the good but in this situation it was for the bad," said Carter in his most publicly critical remarks of Wilkens.

    do you think the raptor's team chemistry will get stronger or grow more distant with a new coach?

    I hope it gets stronger... I think Byron Scott would help so much!!

    Do you guys think anyone else will sign Lenny?

    yea, for a one year deal. I think the Raptors would grow stronger if they get a stranger coach. But our first coach (21 wins) wants to coach the raptors again.

    i think lenny will get a job either next year or the year after. he is a great coach, i think other teams will realize it and sign him. i think the raps management were kinda rough to lenny, kicking him out because they sucked, but everyone knows it was because of all the injuries and stuff. hopefully vc will be healthy next year for u guys. good luck next year and in the draft lottery.

    Lenny sucks, lol. Ive said this so many times: the raptors need a coach thatt will make Vince work his ass off, and to tell him to suck it up and stop crying. Someone like Jeff Van Gundy, or Byron Scott would be perfect for the raptors. Lenny was way too soft on his players.
