With the move, Webster will outlast his former boss as Raptors' president. Ujiri originally served as the team's executive vice president and general manager when he was hired in 2013. He was eventually promoted to team president in 2016. He served in both roles until 2017, when he named Webster the team's new general manager.

The Toronto Raptors have done what was expected and extended the contract of general manager Bobby Webster, making him the unquestioned head of basketball operations, while not formally hiring a president to replace Masai Ujiri.
