Darko Rajaković knows how the NBA works. When a top executive is fired, the people below him rarely feel secure.

The Toronto Raptors’ roster is nearly set, with 14 players on standard contracts and second-round pick Alijah Martin expected to take the final spot. With most of the offseason business complete, the focus now shifts to how the rotation will shape up behind what looks like a fairly locked-in starting five.

Masai Ujiri doesn’t seem to hold anything against the Toronto Raptors following his departure. He appeared on Good Morning America on Thursday, and he was was happy and didn’t show any signs of being frustrated or upset with the Raptors decision to move on from him.
The Toronto Raptors are looking for experience. They are not bringing in a new president to overhaul the business side or change direction. They want someone to lead basketball operations the way Masai Ujiri did, hands-on and empowered to make major decisions.
The Toronto Raptors were much more competitive than their 50-win 2024-25 season would indicate. They would keep games close even against the best teams in the league, giving way to what some would call “ethical tanking”.
The Toronto Raptors have officially announced their Summer League roster. Toronto will bring 16 players to Las Vegas this summer, headlined by their 2025 first-round pick Collin Murray-Boyles.
If Masai Ujiri is still processing the end of his Toronto Raptors tenure, he didn’t show it. Appearing on Good Morning America on Thursday, the 54-year-old former team president was upbeat and composed, speaking with warmth and optimism as he looked ahead and reflected on the most successful era in franchise history.
Finding a long-term solution at the center position should be a priority for the Golden State Warriors this summer. The lack of size in the middle of the floor is becoming a bigger issue with each passing year.

He, who also spent time with the Hornets in 2024-25, appeared in 10 games as a Raptor, averaging 11.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 21.5 minutes per night, with a shooting line of .506/.324/.880.
Sandro Mamukelashvili has spent the last two and a half seasons playing for the San Antonio Spurs. He finished the 2024-25 season with averages of 6.3 points and 3.1 rebounds per contest while shooting 50.2% from the field and 37.5% from the three-point range in 61 games.
The Toronto Raptors showed slight improvement under Darko Rajakovic, going 30-52 last season. But season three together becomes more pivotal than ever.
