Casey, according to league sources, has already spoken at length with Ujiri and Leiweke and would seem safe from any purge. He has a year left on his contract. Toronto Star

League sources say the Raptors have already conducted initial interviews with assistant coach hopefuls Nick Nurse of the Rio Grande Vipers of the D League, former Raptor and current Brooklyn assistant Popeye Jones and ex- NBAer Tyronn Lue. Whether those three have to be re-interviewed once Ujiri is on the job full-time remains to be seen but the future of the current staff is cloudier than it’s ever been. None have contracts guaranteed past the end of June and it’s expected none will be in town this week when some players come back for workout sessions with members of the team’s training staff.

Stefanski, not 18 months on the job in Toronto after a long career as the GM of the New Jersey Nets (he made the Vince Carter trade with Toronto) and Philadelphia 76ers, was let go with a year left on his contract. “Not a big surprise, I’m sorry things didn’t work out,” said Stefanski. “It’s the business. What are you going to do?” Toronto Star

At this point, Lawal has three workouts confirmed -- with the Magic, Pacers and Raptors -- and he's expecting about five more, including the Knicks. The team's director of European scouting, Kevin Wilson, has watched Lawal play in person, Curtin said. Wilson, who is well respected throughout the NBA, helped discover Pablo Prigioni and Chris Copeland. ESPN.com

Eric Koreen: Obvious why Stefanski was let go. But he frequently challenged Colangelo, particularly on merits of Bargnani. Not necessarily just. Twitter @ekoreen

So what's next for the Nuggets' front office? It's possible the team could promote Ujiri's right-hand man, Pete D'Alessandro, though it's unclear at this point whether Ujiri will lure him to Toronto. D'Alessandro is respected throughout the NBA. Ujiri has joked in news conferences that he doesn't like to praise D'Alessandro in public, wary that another team would steal him away. Mike Bratz also is respected within the organization — the former NBA player runs Denver's scouting program and was instrumental in the team scouting and ultimately acquiring Ty Lawson out of North Carolina. Also, Cleveland Cavaliers assistant GM David Griffin was a candidate for the job in 2010. Denver Post

Prior to his departure, Ujiri issued a statement expressing his gratitude to the Nuggets. "First and foremost, I would like to thank Stan and Josh Kroenke for the opportunity they have given me over the past three years," Ujiri said. "It was a very difficult decision to leave Denver, but the Nuggets remain in good hands. I’d also like to thank the coaching staff for their work and the fans for their support and dedication. I’ll always have a special place in my heart for the city of Denver and the Nuggets as an organization." NBA.com
