Masai Ujiri didn’t take time off, not really. The Toronto Raptors really did win the NBA title, before Kawhi Leonard left, and it was all so exhausting. But there wasn’t any time to rest. The Raptors president had promises to keep.
So he didn’t stop. Draft, free agency, Kawhi, summer league, and even in the four days after that when he was stuck in London due to a paperwork issue he chatted with Pascal Siakam’s agent, who happened to be there too. Ujiri barely had time to breathe before Basketball Without Borders, and then, another summer in Africa.
