Raptors hire Bobby Webster as VP of Basketball Management and Strategy.
Webster will assist Masai Ujiri, who said he was "delighted" to have Webster aboard. "His skill set will be valuable in a number of areas, and his experience and knowledge of the CBA and its complexities from a League level will be a great asset to the organization."

Even if the Nuggets matched the offer on GM Masai Ujiri, he still would have left Denver for Toronto, according to Nuggets president Josh Kroenke.
Kroenke added that the relationships in Toronto were a big factor for Ujiri to head north of the border. Ujiri did a solid job with the Nuggets, including getting a nice return on the Carmelo Anthony deal, but he has a tall order in attempting to turn the Raptors around.

The Raptors are aggressively pursuing Bucks assistant GM Jeff Weltman for a position in their new-look front office, according to ESPN's Marc Stein.
Weltman originally helped lure new Raptors GM Masai Ujiri to Denver and it appears Ujiri is attempting to return the favor. Ujiri took on one hell of a rebuilding process in Toronto and will need all the help he can get to turn around a franchise that's been cellar dwellers for most of its existence.
