With the Knicks firing team president Steve Mills on Tuesday, all eyes turn to Masai Ujiri.
As The Post’s Marc Berman has previously reported, James Dolan has long been interested in the championship-winning Raptors president.
“They look at him as the chosen one,” an NBA team executive told Berman in December.
Dolan explored making a play for Ujiri in 2017 in the wake of the Phil Jackson debacle, but the draft compensation at the time was considered too much. He ended up promoting Mills from general manager to president.
Now, with the franchise in continued turmoil after missing out on the top free agents last summer, will Dolan be more willing to do whatever it takes to get Ujiri?
