• The New York Knicks' "dream" scenario is to hire Toronto Raptors president Masai Ujiri to lead their front office, according to multiple reports.
• Ujiri is currently under contract with the Raptors until 2021, meaning the Knicks would have to compensate the Raptors, likely with draft picks, to land Ujiri — a poor starting point for a rebuild.
• The Knicks have repeatedly looked to "saviors" in the past to turn things around.
• While Ujiri is capable and qualified for leading a rebuild, the Knicks would again be placing lofty expectations on one person to fix their many issues.

On Tuesday, the New York Knicks took another turn in their ongoing rebuild by removing Steve Mills as president of the team.

Under Mills, the Knicks went 61-154 since 2018 and posted a losing record in all 13 years of his time in basketball operations, according to The New York Times' Marc Stein.
