There is a lot to do, and a lot to be hopeful for, but the Raptors and Masai Ujiri understand the nature of the path they’re on. They've been here before. (michaelgrange)
But Ujiri believes firmly in what he has to work with. It would be impossible for him to walk back the comments he made about his cornerstone pieces.
Or why 6-foot-1 point guard VanVleet defies the franchise’s preference for long-armed, athletic big wing players: “He's a winner. He's a champion, he’s an all-star. He beats everything. That’s bigger than 6-9. That’s the truth. It’s bigger than 6-9. That guy's heart is bigger. And you need those guys on your team. Every day.”
“Yeah, he gets paid, but he's also a human being. Right? And he stood it, withstood it when he was coming back got hit again, got injured. Those things crack people, right? [But] to see him on that stage, fight, and fight, that's who we want to go to war with, to battle with. I'm proud of him. Incredibly proud of Pascal.”
