Masai Ujiri has taken a group of young, talented players, tweaked the roster here and there and constructed an NBA championship team. “I think we’ve gone past that.”The Raptors are past that because Ujiri worked an original plan to near perfection from 2013 until the team won the 2019 NBA championship. It’s not a super team with three established stars but there’s homegrown talent climbing and that has always fed Ujiri. “There’s going to be super teams and super, super teams, there are going to be three superstars on one team … We’re not taking that route, at least not for now,” he said. “Our route is to grow our young players and be excited about what we have, and rely on Nick (Nurse, the team’s coach) and his great staff.
