It shouldn’t be for team president Masai Ujiri and general manager Bobby Webster in these next few weeks, either. But the fact is, the Raptors are going to get a legitimate player at No. Lillard is a singular talent, no question, but finding a legitimate fit for a deal with the Raptors is next to impossible.
