Ujiri is probably the best fit for the Raptors in the league because he's proven he can win without stars and in a smaller, less reputable market. Hitting it rich in the draft is not required right now. Their best path is building a good reputation starting right now and not hacking off limbs in a hope to plunge deep into the basement. Because if they tank and fail, we're in the same boat again in five years; it's more likely that they don't hit it rich in the draft.
I'd rather see them make the playoffs for the next five years, and cement themselves as a legitimate destination, a competent organization, than have them wallow around in basement for three to five more years and more likely than not end up full circle.
And the Raptors weren't a high profile FA destination even with V.C. in his prime being compared to M.J. They had to overpay just to keep that team together, which failed.
