Knicks passing on offer to Raptors president Masai Ujiri: reports
New York will reportedly set sights on former Cavs president David Griffin
Raptors president Masai Ujiri will remain with Toronto, according to multiple reports.
Said it on <a href="https://twitter.com/NaylorLandsberg">@NaylorLandsberg</a> this morning: late last night the Knicks started telling people they were passing on chasing Masai Ujiri.
—@bruce_arthurIt had been reported on Wednesday that after the New York Knicks parted ways with president Phil Jackson, they would focus on poaching Ujiri to succeed Jackson.
Now, the Knicks reportedly view the compensation required to pry Ujiri out of Toronto as too costly.
Ujiri was hired as the Raptors president general manager in 2013 after winning executive of the year with the Denver Nuggets the year prior. His contract was extended in 2016.
Meanwhile, the Knicks are supposedly eyeing former Cleveland Cavaliers president David Griffin, whose contract wasn't extended by the Cavaliers earlier this month.
