But it would be a mistake to think that what the Raptors have accomplished to date — a first-place standing in the Atlantic and a top three spot in the Eastern Conference (as it stands now) — has changed Ujiri’s timetable in any way.
“On my side, no,” he said. “I think we always want to get better, we want to continue to grow. I think what (the trade) did for us is it kind of gave the young guys a good platform to grow, Jonas (Valanciunas), Terrence (Ross) , DeMar (DeRozan) and I think even (Patrick) Patterson, I can consider him a young power forward in the NBA at 24, he’s just finishing his rookie contract. It’s given them a good place to grow and that’s the way I look at it. We have plenty of work to do. I think they play hard, they compete. I think coach Casey has done an excellent job so we’ll see how it continues to grow.”
The timetable remains the same.
“I always said since I came in, the players will dictate where we go and the team will dictate where we go and that’s kind of how it’s been,” Ujiri said. “So they’re growing and you want it that way. When we go find players, these are the type of young players you want to find and we hope that we continue to draft well and find good young players and grow the team.”
