Sources told Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports that the Nuggets have granted the Raptors permission to speak with GM Masai Ujiri, and unless Denver extends Ujiri at what Toronto is willing to pay, Ujiri is likely to head to the Raptors.
Per Wojnarowski, the Raptors are willing to pay Ujiri around $3 million annually, an offer the Nuggets are unlikely to match. Ujiri spent time in the Toronto organization before accepting the Denver GM position, and it's unclear who would replace him for the Nuggets if he departed for a chance to rebuild the Raptors.

The Nuggets are "positive" that they'll be able to keep GM Masai Ujiri, according to ESPN's Marc Stein.
Toronto has been actively courting Ujiri to be their next GM and could be willing to offer an annual salary in excess of $2 million per year, but the Nuggets are confident they'll work something out to keep him in the fold. We're not as confident considering Ujiri's roots in Toronto, but this should be resolved soon with the Raptors finally re-arranging Bryan Colangelo's role.

Danilo Gallinari will undergo his second knee surgery in three weeks.
Gallinari had his meniscus repaired three weeks ago, and now he'll undergo a surgery to repair his torn ACL. Since Gallinari won't have his ACL surgery until June, there is virtually no way he'll be ready for the start of the season and we could be looking at a scenario where the forward is out until around Christmas or potentially the start of 2014. It's a situation fantasy owners need to watch closely during the offseason.
