The Toronto Raptors will not only have to figure out what the next steps of the franchise will look like considering that Kyle Lowry could be on the move this offseason, but they must also replace several trusted assistant coaches. The latest reports seem to suggest that Earl Watson has been selected as one of Nick Nurse’s right-hand men.

The Raptors saw Chris Finch take the head-coaching job in Minnesota during the middle of last season, and the offseason started off on a sour note when trusted developmental coach Jama Mahlalela took a position with Golden State.
