TORONTO — The Raptors have turned into a model franchise, run by arguably the best general manager in the business in Masai Ujiri, who has built a powerhouse.
If Knicks owner James Dolan was watching from home Wednesday, he’s got to be even more impressed than ever with the job Ujiri has done in Toronto.
Even in the wake of Kawhi Leonard’s free-agent defection to the Clippers, the Raptors have remained potent and moved to 13-4 after their 126-98 blowout of the Knicks on Wednesday at Scotiabank Arena.
Knicks coach David Fizdale, who could have Ujiri as his boss one day, learned plenty as a coach from the Raptors’ run to the 2019 NBA championship when they toppled — and disfigured — the Golden State dynasty.
