million contract extension, league sources told The Vertica
多倫多暴龍與總教練Dwane Casey達成3年1800萬的延長合約
The Raptors essentially tore up the 2016-17 option on Casey's deal and
replaced it with a new three-year contract that runs through 2018-19, league
sources said.
暴龍隊直接以Casey的新合約取代掉原本在2016-17球季的選擇權
而這一份三年的合約將會執行到2018-19球季
Under Casey, the Raptors had the franchise’s best season in history, which
included 56 regular-season victories and a berth in the Eastern Conference
finals. Toronto lost 4-2 in the best-of-seven series against Cleveland.

Casey finished fifth in the voting for NBA Coach of the Year in 2016.
Casey在本季的年度最佳教練票選中拿下第五名
In his five seasons as Raptors coach, the franchise has improved its victory
total every season, including three straight playoff appearances. The
development of DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry into All-Stars has been paramount
to the success of Casey’s program
擔任暴龍隊總教練的五個球季以來，每一季球隊的勝場數都有所進步
連續三個球季都能夠進入季後賽
而DeRozan和Lowry發展成為明星等級的球員，也是Casey能夠取得成功的重要關鍵
The Raptors have been working to hold together his coaching staff too,
including assistant coaches Andy Greer (Minnesota and New York) and Rex
Kalamian (Washington) who are the objects of interest elsewhere, league
sources said
暴龍隊目前正在著手補強教練團的陣容，Andy Greer和Rex Kalamian都是鎖定的目標
順便附上三則教練的消息

2. Jeff Hornacek同樣也是與尼克隊達成3年15M的合約協議
