We've heard constant murmuring over the past couple of weeks about possible changes in the Raptors coaching staff. Now, it appears we've seen the first step, according to Ken Berger of CBS Sports:
Shakeup on Dwane Casey's staff in Toronto has begun, as assistant Bill Bayno was let go Monday, league source tells @CBSSports.

In addition to Bill Bayno, Tom Sterner has been let go from Dwane Casey's Raptors staff, league source tells @CBSSports.

Toronto informed head coach Dwane Casey last week that his job for the upcoming season was safe, but along with that report came ones of GM Masai Ujiri wanting to shake up the coaching staff. We've heard rumors involving Monty Williams already. The former Pelicans coach could come in and be an immediate veteran assistant next to Casey, but he'll likely wait around for a head coaching job before settling on becoming someone's sidekick.
Now, we wait to see how Toronto is prioritizing its coaching search. Who do the Raptors want? We'll find out soon enough.
