Theres no replacement. Bobby is top dog now. Basically business as usually without President. Leafs got rid of Shanaplan but kept the GM.
The Raptors post championship have not been well run, and Webster has been there the whole time. Removing Masai but keeping everyone else seems counter productive, unless Webster was just getting Masai coffee the last six years.
Agreed, it doesn’t make much sense to keep Bobby too which suggests to me this decision was largely about money.
The other big distinction between Shapiro and MU is that they aren’t paying Shapiro a ridiculous amount of money (10M+ a year) to get mediocre production.
