The most important Toronto Raptor of all time is Masai Ujiri. He will be MISSED. I'm so upset right now.

The fact we have an appreciation thread for an upper management member says all.

Should’ve been given a lifetime role.

Will follow whatever it is he does now. I do wonder if he is done in the GM game and will focus on NBA Africa or something in the League FO.
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

Did the impossible and brought us a title and actually made us a respectable franchise.

Feel terrible that he couldn't be here to bring us another championship.

He made good decision more often than poor decisions. He also had more good luck than bad luck. Took a huge risk with Kawhi that paid off spectacularly.

I’ll always be grateful for the championship he brought us.

Absolutely sick right now thinking on this franchise returning to what it was pre-Timmy L/Masai.
