Masai Ujiri

The New York Knicks were linked to the Raptors GM earlier in the season and it is believed that he may be able to be swayed by New York. Ujiri is one of the best General Managers in the league and has turned the Toronto Raptors into a perennial playoff team.

Ujiri has been able to make great trades, such as deadline deals for PJ Tucker, and Serge Ibaka that instantly helped the Raptors. Along with this he has signed players to good contracts. He is also consistently one of the more active GMs and is constantly grinding.

Along with this, Ujiri is a darling of the media. In no time he would have the fickle local media eating out of the palm of his hand. To add to this Ujiri is one of the biggest names in the General Manager business and would be a respected hiring.

As good as the Raptors are, this was arguably the last year that they had at realistically beating LeBron and the Cavs. And now, could be looking at a big shakeup in the offseason.
