Masai Ujiri's exit on Friday as vice-chairman and president of the Toronto Raptors marked the end of a more than decade-long run that delivered the franchise's first NBA title.

Masai Ujiri’s exit on Friday as vice-chairman and president of the Toronto Raptors marked the end of a more than decade-long run that delivered the franchise’s first NBA title.

Here’s a look at some of key moments from Ujiri’s time with the Raptors:

May 31, 2013: Ujiri hired as executive vice president and general manager of the Raptors, replacing Bryan Colangelo.

July 10, 2013: Trades Andrea Bargnani to the New York Knicks for Marcus Camby, Steve Novak, Quentin Richardson (via a sign-and-trade), a first-round pick in 2016 and second-round selections in 2014 and 2017.

Dec. 9, 2013: Trades Rudy Gay, Aaron Gray and forward Quincy Acy head to the Sacramento Kings for John Salmons Greivis Vasquez, Patrick Patterson and centre Chuck Hayes.

March 28, 2014: Despite entering the season with an eye on rebuilding, the Raptors clinch their first playoff berth in six years with a 105-103 win over Boston.

April 19, 2014: At a fan rally before Game 1 of the first-round Eastern Conference playoff series against the Brooklyn Nets, Ujiri shouts, “F— Brooklyn!” to the crowd from the stage. Ujiri apologizes during halftime of Game 1, stating: “Wrong choice of words out there. … I apologize to kids out there and to the Brooklyn guys.” Ujiri is later US$25,000 by the NBA. Toronto goes in to lose the series in seven games.

June 26, 2015: Trades Vasquez to the Milwaukee Bucks for a 2017 first-round pick (via the Los Angeles Clippers) and the 46th pick (Norman Powell).
