The Toronto Raptors offseason plans and the direction of the franchise hinge on Masai Ujiri. Will the president decide to sign a new deal and continue to lead the Raptors? Or will he look for a new challenge either within the confines of the NBA or abroad?

While Ujiri’s most likely landing spot if he goes somewhere else within the NBA has long been rumored to be alongside Russell Westbrook with the Wizards, the Dallas Mavericks now have an opening in their front office after deciding to out longtime executive Donnie Nelson.
