Early Friday morning, Wizards fans were SO EXCITED that majority owner Ted Leonsis was planning to reach out to the Toronto Raptors so he can talk to Masai Ujiri directly. The reason? Ujiri was the Wizards’ dream candidate to be their next President of Basketball Operations and he was likely going to receive a major compensation offer as well.
But as the saying goes, STOP THE PRESSES!
Unfortunately, Candace Buckner of The Washington Post reported that the Wizards have no “imminent plans” to contact the Raptors before speaking to Ujiri.
The #Wizards have no imminent plans to reach out to the NBA Champion Toronto Raptors to speak with Masai Ujiri, which means there is no massive offer being prepared.
