He'd be talking to 2 groups Robbers and Bell

You never really get a feel for how each party feels about the franchise, and if either side sees more potential than the other.

Ujiri: Raptors future hinges on chat with owners
Click to expand...
The other major decision facing the Raptors this offseason is attempting to retain star free agent Kyle Lowry, the team's longest-tenured player and one of the driving forces behind its 2019 title. Ujiri said that decision will be made, in part, on what direction Toronto looks to go as an organization this offseason.

"It just depends on what we are doing," Ujiri said. "When we evaluate this, we are evaluating in many ways. One of the ways we have looked at is giving the young guys even more opportunity and building the future rather than now. We have to look at the organization that way.

"If you remember, I spoke like that a lot when I took the job here. We have to build. I know we won a championship and last year we were considered a team that was close, and a contender, but we're at a place, too, where we have to look at the young players we have and maybe lift them up a little bit. And that's kind of one of the options we will continue to examine as we look at the team. So I understand your question when you say is there a better player out there. It's hard to find a better player than Kyle, now even, in this environment. He's been incredible to us, and his value is even more to us than an outside free agent in more ways. But when we look at it the other way, you can look at: How do you start to build again, to get to the level that we got to?"

Thank you. This is exactly what I was talking about.

Nurse does not like the young guys and doesn't give them a fair chance.

Van Vleet and Siakam both started the minute Nurse took over,He gave Flynn chances to play this year...i think hes fine playing young guys but you have to show sumn...When Malachi was ass he sat him i dont think that means he hate playing young guys....

Siakam and FVV where already getting playing time. They were already established as decent players.

He was forced to play Flynn because of the covid restriction and injuries. Once Toronto decided to tank, he just let the bench do whatever. Flynn never saw consistent playing time until Late March.

Van Vleet was a decent bench player but Siakam hadnt proven anything until he started in 18-19..He was averaging 12 mins a game...

We definitely wont get the 5th pick we'll be either top 4 or 7th,8th or after thats how it works....Im not that concerned about masai leaving.Ive never seen an organization or fanbase make such a big deal about a president....How many layups did Masai make this year again ??

Masai hasnt made a deal in 2 years he allowed this team to to fall off badly in 1 season,hes not a messiah...I think it would be good for this team to hire a new president and realize masai isnt the only one who can win here,its kinda bordering on ridiculous...
