And i saw comparison between kawhi and hayward, well, i'd say 2 ir 3 things, kawhi weren't drafted there and took 6/7 years to really reach all-star level and than said goobye on a players tribune love letter to his college coach, when they got him, it was well said that he wanted la, indeed he were profesional there and paved their way to the promised land, listened to their pitch on free agency. Another thing that stands, is that raptors would'n have cap to add really much to their team, unless they went reaaally creative on some sign and trades. All they had were the full mle anyway, and they still have their players to trade for something and start some rebuild if they want.
Haywood on the other end dragged us to have a lot of cap to being stuck on the udoh, thabo, jerebko type of deals, cause any posible contributor like gallinari, or send some overpay for otto porter (that we could work to be some s&t) were out of the table by the time he left, and that after we spent a lot of picks trying to turn up to competitive mode, instead of clearly stating "i'm going out" so at least we could had not thrown exum under hill rental and mack (and problably at least know more of what he's capable or not instead of giving him his actual contract based on expectation but fully unknown if we may be able of getting something out of it), let favors focus on get his back healed way sooner instead of trying him to play through painkillers whenever posible for more than a year, get more for hood than merely crowder, and get something of his *** on a trade, instead of losing assets to let him go for nothing (as previously stated). In reality, if it wasn't for the real strike that Mitchell were on the draft, we'd be condemned to be tanking right now.
