Re: Serge Ibaka Interview
-Serge said that he was really confident that Kawhi would return after we won the chip and was shocked and disappointed as hell that he didn't.
-Says he feels Raptors could have won more championships had Kawhi stayed and he was in the perfect situation where he didn't need to play much during the season because the team was so good and could carry the load without him.

Re: Serge Ibaka Interview
Love Serge, but the clip I saw of this made me uncomfortable.
Like he didn’t really seem to be joking around, it seemed actually painful to recall. Alex continuing to press it was a bit rough. They seem to have a rapport, and I don’t think he necessarily did anything wrong, but it was just tough to watch.
Edit: I should clarify, it was the part about Kawhi leaving.

Re: Serge Ibaka Interview
If Kawhi came back, they would've re-signed Green, and their bench would've been VanVleet, Powell, OG, Boucher, Ibaka. That bench makes the playoffs.

I think some of it was put on for click bait.
Alex and Serge have rapport from him being involved as a producer and consultant for Serge's cooking show...so they go back many years.

Re: Serge Ibaka Interview
Serge and Gasol manning the front court was the best we've had in franchise history.
I stand on that.

Yep, even JV and Ibaka was pretty lethal, it was just that Casey was not smart enough to split them in the modern era. Obviously Gasol was a major upgrade over JV given the elite defense he brought.
