Although the team will not a hire a new president, Webster succeeds his former boss, Masai Ujiri, as the lead Raptors executive. The Raptors parted ways with Ujiri on June 27, one day after the NBA draft, and announced that they had enlisted CAA Executive Search to assist in hiring a new team president. Webster will remain in the GM role.

The Toronto Raptors have added responsibilities to general manager Bobby Webster in lieu of naming a new president of basketball operations, the team announced on Monday. Webster takes over many of the roles that fell under Masai Ujiri, who was fired in June. The team declared that they would not appoint a new team president at this time.

"This team is his, now, to lead and I know we all look forward to what comes next," MLSE CEO Keith Pelley said in a statement.
