Dude. This sucks long term. Derozan has 3 years on his deal still. So SA is back in the scrum. And Leonard has been clear about going to the Lakers this next season hasn’t he? If so that’s a wrap on the Raptors.

If none of the big names this next off season sign with Utah I hope they all go to the East.

Seems like the Spurs crushed this.
 
San Antonio going full long two... do they get al Jefferson too... just own the whole midrange.

He’s overrated and they are aging... pop has like one more year before he rides into the sunset. They won’t be awful but they don’t bother us.

I agree that they are not on Utah’s level. But I don’t ever count out the Spurs lol.

They were never out of the scrum. The had Kahwi for 8 games last year and still won games.
 
I don't mind the risk much for Toronto. Their team was essentially locked in and capped out going forward, and it also is no secret that the window is the East is open now and is will start closing year after year. Took a swing and the downside if he leaves is that they open up space to build again.
 
Watch Kawhi sit out another year.

I want to hear what Pop has to say.

Unless he can provide legitimate justification, Kawhi not reporting or not playing would be subject to some pretty hefty disciplinary action by the league and the Raps (or Spurs if the trade is cancelled).
As well, he could potentially be sued by the Raptors or Spurs as well for Breach of Contract. Basically, it wouldn't be a good look for him. Consider also that if he did that just to get to LA, there will be no end of damage to his "personal brand" because few parents could justify spending so much money on merch from a weak-willed, mentally defective player that makes Rodney Hood look like Karl Malone in comparison.
 
Wow.

I'll hand it to Toronto, they're swinging for the fences. Better hope he re-signs, though. They probably would have had to hit reset anyways, but at least they could have moved Lowry, Derozan, etc. for some good young pieces.
