Masai Ujiri is a veteran when it comes to trade negotiations, so he knows the importance of not breaking rule No. 1: Never tip your hand.

On Friday, the Raptors' president of basketball operations was in attendance for the unveiling of an Ottawa art installation that he helped create. Before leaving the event and traveling to Las Vegas for Summer League games, Ujiri spoke with reporters about the topic on the mind of every Raptors fan: Kevin Durant.

Toronto been mentioned as a possible landing spot for Durant, who reportedly requested a trade out of Brooklyn on June 30. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski recently said the Raptors are a team that's "lurking" in the Durant sweepstakes, but Ujiri wasn't prepared to share his true feelings on a potential Durant deal.
