It’s a delicate process, this building of an NBA team is, and even armed with the tools to tinker with the Toronto Raptors, team president Masai Ujiri remains leery of doing something just because he can.
The Raptors will explore all possible avenues to add a player before the NBA playoffs begin — signing a player bought out by some other team, plumbing the depths of Europe and Asia — but there can be no guarantees that Ujiri and general manager Bobby Webster will do something or that it will work if they do.
“I keep saying this, and I know it’s old for everybody, but it’s a growing process,” Ujiri said Friday morning.
