"The founders of the Raptors dynasty have officially bid farewell!"

According to ESPN famous reporter Shams Charania, Masai Ujiri will no longer serve as vice chairman of the Toronto Raptors and president of basketball operations, ending his 12-year legendary career with the Raptors. This NBA's most courageous executive once used a shocking trade to bring the Raptors' first championship in team history, but now he has left office a year early, causing shock to the league!

Data media StatMuse posted the Raptors' report card under Ujeri:

1 NBA championship (2018-19 season)

8 playoff journeys

545 wins and 419 losses, with a winning rate of 56.5% (fifth in the league since 2014)

The most shocking thing is that in 2019, Ujeri used DeRozan + Pelter + first round pick to exchange Kawhi Leonard, who had only one year left for the contract. This decision was criticized by the outside world for "betrayal loyalty", but ultimately allowed the Raptors to defeat the Warriors and end the "cosmic courage" dynasty.

UJerry said at the time: "Even if there is only one year of use, it is definitely worth it!" Although UJerry has one year left in the contract, ESPN revealed that he has disagreements with the Raptors' new shareholder, Rogers Communications, which may not be willing to pay him an annual salary of $15 million. In addition, the Raptors' record has declined in recent years. Ujri failed to rebuild quickly after trading Siakam and Anunobi, which also made the management lose patience.

Ujeri is one of the most respected executives in the NBA. His next stop is highly watched:

Hawks: Interested in hiring him as president of basketball operations

Knicks: New York has always hoped to introduce top management

African basketball: Ujeri has long promoted the development of African basketball and may return

fans hotly discuss: The merits are greater than the fault or the sequelae of gambling?

Supporter: "One championship! Ujeri is the best GM in the Raptors' history!"

Critics: "Except for the small card transaction, all the failures are behind it!"

Neutral: "His departure marks the complete rebuilding of the Raptors."

"Ujeri's Raptors era began with a big bet and finally broke up." Where will his next stop bet? What kind of power reshuffle will the NBA usher in?

Marseille - The story of Ujeri in the Raptors will be forever engraved in the team's history. He used his wisdom and courage to leave valuable wealth for the Raptors. Now, although he has left, those moments of glory will always inspire the Raptors to move forward and will also make fans savor it for a long time.
