The deadline for making this decision was this Saturday, and the veteran interior, whose departure seemed likely given the uncertainties surrounding Toronto, therefore has the pleasant surprise of not becoming a free agent this summer, and will receive all of his $8 million next season in Toronto.
Masai Ujiri therefore decided, and he decided to bet on the same group. An astonishing choice, because there were surely other positions to be reinforced as a priority.
