Don't trade Powell!!! Consider his salary as a tax for signing Kawhi.

Bruh Norm Powell can not be salary dumped at all... he'll earn his contract alone just being from San Diego like
Kawhi and their moms being friends.

Cali dudes are the realest... DeRozan, Powell, Kawhi, George etc

It's those Florida boys who are shady like McGrady and VC lol

I will troll the Lakers forum if he re-signs.

$12 million/year and a wasted roster spot to keep Kawhi is well worth it.

the problem always is getting them here. when they're here, they always love it.

and it helps in this case that being black in Toronto is not quite like being black in America.

and if they're legit title contenders this year, he'll have a hard time leaving.

and weed is legal.

Well we can't trade Powell now of his mom is recruiting.

Don't understand why people are so eager to dump Powell. People act like he's some been underperforming for years under a monster contract. His new contract kicks in this year. He's been playing like a scrub on a 2nd round rookie scale contract. It's all house money. He was rewarded the extension because of the potential Masai and most of us saw in him before last season. Let's see if he plays up to it now. He'll have the opportunity, as consistent as it will ever be in his career. Crucify him afterwards if he underperforms. There is zero need to dump him unless it's a clear upgrade to our bigs rotation.

Damn, that's a legit connection. Masai playing 5D backgammon with that Powell contract.

Give Powell's mom season tickets and a parking spot if she can recruit Kawhi's mom.

I was saying Norm had the San Diego connection. I'm still a fan of Norm. Bounce back year next year.

Here’s what someone who knows Leonard as well as anybody told me privately: “He’s going to fall in love with Toronto – it’s going to happen. He’s not going to leave, I’m telling you.”
