The Toronto Raptors made one of the most shocking front office personnel decisions of the offseason, parting ways with longtime executive Masai Ujiri in June, one day following the NBA Draft. Ujiri joined the Raptors in 2013 after an impressive stint as General Manager of the Denver Nuggets.
Ujiri notably built the Raptors from the ground up, inheriting a 34-win team. Under Ujiri's guidance, Toronto accumulated seven consecutive playoff births, including an NBA Championship in 2019. However, since the Raptors' championship, they've made the playoffs twice and have recently endured two straight losing seasons.
The Raptors' lack of success, coupled with questionable roster personnel decisions, ultimately led to the franchise parting with one of the better executives of the millennium.
