Always good for peeling back the layers of the Toronto Raptors, Open Gym has provided another indelible moment. Shortly after the trade deadline, Jonas Valanciunas and Raptors president Masai Ujiri connected in practice, sharing this exchange.
VALANCIUNAS: Thank you, Masai
UJIRI: I know you didn’t want to go there.
VALANCIUNAS: Nah. When I saw that Drummond and my face together, I was like [wagging finger] “Please no.”
UJIRI: Hey, you’re way better than Drummond.
The cat’s out of the bag, folks.
