Ujeri is one of the most courageous management leaders in the NBA. He completely changed the fate of the Raptors through a series of bold decisions and profoundly influenced the development of African basketball.

Even if the intention to renew the contract is unknown, he used the team spirit DeRozan + Pelter + first round pick for Leonard (one-year contract) and Danny Green, and the outside world questioned his "betrayal loyalty." But Ujri insists that "the top five stars in the league cannot be missed."

Leonard led the team to win the first championship in team history in 2019 and ended the Warriors dynasty. Ujri said the deal "even if it only has one year's right to use it, it's worth it."

This year's offseason, it is rumored that the Raptors are actively pursuing Antetokounmpo. Ujeri is willing to dismantle the existing lineup (such as trading Anunobi, Barnes, etc.) and wants to replicate the "Leonard-style gamble".
