  • Summary

  • Guest: Toronto Star basketball writer Doug Smith Hosts: Bruce Arthur and Dave Feschuk Five years ago, Masai Ujiri was among the most coveted executives in all of pro sports, his masterstroke trade for Kawhi Leonard landing the Raptors their first NBA title. In the five years since, the franchise has won one playoff series while languishing through less-than-inspiring moments that Ujiri himself has characterized as difficult to watch. In this episode, Arthur, Feschuk and Smith discuss Ujiri’s post-championship swoon, including an inability to parlay the offloaded pieces of a title roster into a more formidable collection of assets. Though there are bright spots – including the emergence of Scottie Barnes as the franchise’s foundational player – there are also plenty of question marks on the road to a future that’s potentially more prosperous. PLUS: Arthur, Feschuk and Smith discuss the highs and lows of the post-championship comedown. This episode was produced by Julia De Laurentiis Johnston and Sean Pattendon.
