When the ownership of the Toronto Raptors dumped Masai Ujiri as team president last month, it led to an obvious question: Was it a money thing? A personality clash with the new leadership at parent company MLSE?

The move came Monday, six weeks ahead of the start of training camp. The organization ultimately decided not to choose a president at this time, instead keeping Webster as GM, but deciding to “officially hand the team to Bobby,” MLSE president Keith Pelley said in a statement ahead of a media call with Webster.
