Dwane Casey will return to the Toronto Raptors for the 13-14 NBA season as head coach.

The move was expected but confirmed on Wednesday in a press release.

Casey will be in the final season of his contract and his future will be determined by Masai Ujiri.

The Toronto Raptors do not hold any draft picks in next week's draft, but Masai Ujiri is going through preparations in the same manner as any front office.

"For me, it’s not difficult at all because you approach the draft like you are drafting," said Ujiri. "Even though we don’t have a draft pick, we have to be prepared with all our information, all our rankings and every little detail that you need on players in the draft. I think we have to be very prepared going in because you never know what’s going to happen on draft day. You could get a couple of calls that would shock you, so you have to be prepared for any circumstance."

The Toronto Raptors have hired Bobby Webster to become the vice president of basketball management and strategy.

Webster was previously working in the league office and will become the Raptors' capologist.

Dan Tolzman has accepted a director-level scouting job with the Toronto Raptors.

Tolzman was most recently with the Denver Nuggets, where he reported to new Raptors' GM Masai Ujiri.

Tolzman had offers from numerous teams.

The Toronto Raptors have parted ways with Alvin Williams, a popular former player of the team who has been serving as a scout.

Williams was based out of Philadelphia while scouting for the Raptors.

The decision was made by MLSE CEO Tim Leiweke, according to the report.

The Toronto Raptors will hire Jeff Weltman as their second in command behind Masai Ujiri.

Weltman will remain with the Milwaukee Bucks, however, until after the draft.

Weltman signed an extension with the Bucks in January.

Tracy McGrady believes the Toronto Raptors could have contended for championships, had he chosen to remain with the team instead of joining the Orlando Magic.

“At that time, I think Toronto probably could have competed for championships with the Lakers, that’s what I think,” McGrady said.

McGrady doubled his scoring average to 26.8 in his first season with the Magic, and led the NBA at 32.1 and 28.0 per game during his final two seasons there.

“Toronto, they didn’t know I was capable of that type of performance as far as scoring. I didn’t (even) know I had that in me,” McGrady said.

Jeff Weltman is being pursued by the Toronto Raptors to join their front office.

Weltman has been with the Milwaukee Bucks since 2008 and received an extension in January.

Weltman has received interest from the Los Angeles Clippers and Phoenix Suns for their general manager vacancies in recent years.

Masai Ujiri has been turning over the Raptors' front office since being hired last week as GM.

The Toronto Raptors are likely to part ways with Maurizio Gherardini, according to a source.

The Raptors have already let go of pro scouting director Jim Kelly and vice president of pro scouting Dave Pendergraft.

Gherardini has been the Raptors' face in Europe.

Masai Ujiri has been turning over the Raptors' front office since he was hired as general manager.

The Toronto Raptors have severed ties with Ed Stefanski, according to sources.

Stefanski had one season remaining on his contract with the Raptors and his dismissal was the first decision of Masai Ujiri's tenure with the club.

Stefanski was previously with the Philadelphia 76ers.
