The Raptors parted ways with long-time president of basketball operations Masai Ujiri, who was once considered the best executive in the NBA after building the 2019 championship team. One of the emerging top candidates to replace him is the man that he fired as head coach immediately prior to the Raptors’ sole championship season: Dwane Casey.
