The Raptors have narrowed their list for a general manager to Ed Stefanski and Jeff Bower, sources said.

Stefanski is in advanced talks with the Raptors on a deal, according to sources.

Stefanski has been mentioned as a target of interest of the Blazers. He turned down the job several years ago as a New Jersey Nets executive, and sources said Stefanski hasn’t been interested in the Blazers job this time around unless he can report directly to owner Paul Allen.
