Founder of the Raptors first championship in history! Ujeri stepped down as president of basketball operations one year ahead of schedule. The Hawks are interested in him

On June 27, the Raptors were able to win the first championship in team history in 2019, and Ujri made great contributions as the "trader" behind the scenes. Now, according to ESPN famous reporter Shams Charania, Ujeri will step down as vice chairman of the Raptors and president of basketball operations one year ahead of schedule. According to a previous report by famous reporter Marc Stein, the Hawks are interested in poaching Ujeri as the team's new president of basketball operations.

As the only team among the NBA teams that are not in the United States, the Toronto Raptors are not very attractive to many big-name stars. However, in the summer of 2018, they won Leonard through a big deal. Even though they only had one year of use, they successfully helped the Raptors win the first championship in team history, and the Warriors finally made it to three consecutive championships to establish a dynasty.

As one of the most courageous management representatives in the NBA, Ujeri made a big deal in 2018 while he was in charge of the Raptors. Even though Xiao Ka did not express his intention to renew his contract at that time, he did leave the team when the contract expired. The Raptors still gave DeRozan + Pelter + first-round pick as bargaining chips to exchange for the first-year use of the card with Danny Green, while Ujri insisted that "the top five stars in the league cannot be missed."

As for this summer, the Raptors are also very active in pursuing Antetokounmpo, and even expressed their willingness to break up the existing core lineup and go to replay the 2018-year introduction of the small card model to pursue Antetokounmpo, but Antetokounmpo has not clearly expressed his idea of ​​leaving the Bucks.

Now Ujri will enter the final year of his existing contract. According to famous reporter Shams Charania, he will no longer serve as vice chairman of the Raptors and president of basketball operations one year ahead of schedule, but will also break up with Maple Leaf Sports Entertainment.

However, Ujeri obviously has no worries about his next home. According to another famous reporter Marc Stein, the Hawks are interested in poaching Ujeri as the team's new president of basketball operations. After all, they have fired general manager Landry Fields before.
