MAVS hire Masai Ujiri as new team President

[DanSchwartzgan]

PS - Thinking about that further, is it possible that Masai was a "shadow GM" who Dumont consulted since Jan or early Feb (before the TDL), to evaluate and sign off on the trade of AD? If I have the timeline right, that would make sense. That chronology makes it possible that Masai was already starting to plan the future team before the Feb TDL. 

And maybe it would explain why Dumont was willing to suddenly reverse course and okay moving on from AD, rather than keep him to put together a Flagg-Kyrie-AD team to build around and see if they could suddenly be really good again. It didn't look like they would trade AD, Dumont had no interest, and then suddenly they were salary-dumping him to WAS, out of the blue. What changed? Perhaps Masai says to Dumont he is in, and then says to Dumont that moving on from AD is a better route, and yes that is acceptable value.

There was a good bit of reference in the presser to "hard conversations" on both sides.  Maybe this was one of the topics.  I doubt we will ever know until Toronto's final check to Masai clears the bank.
