Detroit Pistons to Hire Dwane Casey as Head Coach

It didn’t take long for Dwane Casey to find another landing spot as a head coach after being fired by the Toronto Raptors, as ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports that he has agreed to a 5-year deal to be the head coach of the Detroit Pistons.

Following the departure of Stan Van Gundy as coach and president of basketball operations, Pistons owner Tom Gores and senior adviser Ed Stefanski pursued Casey heavily, giving him a long-term commitment to the team as they look to return to the playoffs and remain a force in the Eastern Conference for years to come. They certainly have some of the pieces in place, with Blake Griffin and Andre Drummond, as they look to build around them to contend.

Most people believe Casey is this year’s NBA Coach of the Year after posting the best regular season record for the Toronto Raptors in franchise history, but was fired when the Cleveland Cavaliersswept them out of the playoffs a second time.

With Dwane on board, the Pistons have a good chance of ending their playoff drought as early as next season.

Chance the Rapper – Work Out / Wala Cam / I Might Need Security / 65th Ingleside

Earlier this week, reports surfaced that Chance the Rapper was releasing an official album, before his pending 7-track collaborative effort with Kanye West. Well, Chance unfortunately debunked the story, saying that we weren’t getting an album this week; but said he was still in the studio. Luckily, Chano III kept his word and has blessed the public with four new songs for the summer. Here, you can listen to his new cuts: “ Work Out ” “ Wala Cam ” “ I Might Need Security ” and “ 65th Ingleside ” – serving as an appetizer to the full project later this year. Sorry no album this week, def been in the stu tho. 😎 — Chance The Rapper (@chancetherapper) July 17, 2018

JAY-Z Calls Out Philly Mayor Over ‘Made in America’ Move

JAY-Z has written an op-ed for the The Philadelphia Inquirer, after Philly mayor Jim Kenney stopped Made in America from taking place on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in 2019. “We are disappointed that the mayor of the city of Philadelphia would evict us from the heart of the city, through a media outlet, without a sit-down meeting, notice, dialogue, or proper communication,” JAY said. “It signifies zero appreciation for what Made In America has built alongside the phenomenal citizens of this city. In fact, this administration immediately greeted us with a legal letter trying to stop the 2018 event.”
