The Toronto Raptors have been through a very turbulent offseason over the last few months, and one of the main reasons for all of that commotion was the uncertainty surrounding Masai Ujiri and his place within the front office. When the 2020-21 season expired, so did Ujiri’s contract.
After a sterling job building the Denver Nuggets into a winner, Ujiri came to the Raptors in 2013. It’s no coincidence that right after Ujiri touched down in Toronto, the Raptors embarked upon the most successful period in franchise history, picking up a championship in the process.
