The inside story of Masai Ujiri’s arrival from Denver — far from preordained

Under normal circumstances our sports pages would be filled with Leafs and Raptors playoff coverage, and how the Blue Jays look in the first month of their season. But these aren’t normal times. Instead, with the games on hold during the pandemic, we’re launching an occasional series: Hindsight In 2020, which digs deep into some of the most significant moves and moments in Toronto sports history and examines their lasting impact. Hirings and firings, trades and non-trades, things you knew a little bit about or didn’t know at all. We’re kicking it off with a behind-the-scenes look at the hiring of Masai Ujiri, architect of the defending champion Raptors.
