BREAKING: The Dallas Mavericks are hiring Masai Ujiri as the franchise's new Team President and Alternate Governor, sources tell me and @BannedMacMahon. Ujiri ran the Toronto Raptors from 2013 to 2025, serving as the architect of the 2019 NBA championship team.
The Raptors are getting good fast since hiring Darko Rajaković:
2023-24: 25-57
2024-25: 30-52
2025-26: 46-36
(Took Cavaliers to Game 7 without Immanuel Quickley or Brandon Ingram)
Darko Rajakovic on the Raptors:
"I’m really, really proud of this group and the fight that they brought ... I think we’ve created a culture that we’re one of the hardest playing teams in the league. We put a lot of pride in that."
The Toronto Raptors have a great future. Scottie Barnes is a top-15 player. Collin Murray-Boyles was a great pick and a stud.
Salute to them on a great season 🫡
