Masai Ujiri "intends to maneuver his way to the Knicks" according to "two people in the league whom (Marc Stein) trust[s] deeply for their reads on this situation."
The Knicks removed Steve Mills as president of the team on Tuesday.
One of the sources also said he believes Larry Tannenbaum of MLSE would ultimately allow Ujiri out of his contract.
Ujiri joined the Toronto Raptors in 2013 and helped lead them to a title in 2019. Ujiri's contract runs through the 20-21 season.

The bottom line is that the Raps have already stated it will cost any team multiple first round picks to get Masai before his contract is up. The Raps are willing to let him move on if that's what he wants and the other team is willing to pony up, but the fact that the Wiz didn't make it happen suggests the Knicks won't either.
Why would he leave a team he built, that's fresh off a chip... the ownership, the city, heck, the whole country loves this guy right now and he's going to give all that up to go try to fix the train wreck that is the Knicks?!?!?!
I'm all for people moving on to bigger and better things, but this isn't that... It's essentially the choice between the promise land and professional suicide... let be honest here, who is the last executive to actually succeed under Dolan...???
