The Raptors now suddenly have another intriguing name to consider in their coaching search because of the speed with which things can change in the NBA.
When the Phoenix Suns fired coach Monty Williams on Saturday night, a decision that rocked the league because it was so unexpected, it added a highly-respected and successful name to the list that vice-chair and president Masai Ujiri and general manager Bobby Webster are working from.
Almost immediately after Williams was let go — two seasons removed from leading Phoenix to the NBA Finals — his name was linked to the vacant Raptors job, as it should have been.
