The dawn of a new age in Raptor-land has not quite arrived yet. Despite trading for Serge Ibaka yesterday — and setting a million hearts aflutter on Valentine’s Day — the Raptors still have work to do.

In the meantime, you can watch Ujiri address the media here post-trade. He gets at some of the qualities Ibaka possesses, says goodbye to Terrence Ross, and looks ahead to the future of the Raptors.
