During ESPN’s trade deadline coverage on Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski made it clear that it is not so simple for Ujiri to leave the Raptors and attempt to make the Knicks competitive.

There are certainly plenty of barriers for Dolan to consider in his seemingly endless pursuit of Ujiri, but according to Wojnarowski, it’s become too much for the Knicks owner to handle.
Ujiri joined the Raptors organization in 2013 and since then, has enjoyed six consecutive postseason appearances and a championship last summer. While he has achieved the top prize, it appears he will remain in Toronto for the time being.
