Inside the Green Room

Danny explains free agency.

He suggests that his time with the Raps was over even if Kawhi chose the Raps, because of cap space.

He also says how he used to talk to Kawhi (or maybe just Jeremy Castleberry) after each of Kawhi's meetings and desperately ask what side he was leaning for, and he just kept getting told all teams are an option.

OG would call him every day, "yo man, you owe it to me to tell me what's happening". But his teammates knew he wasn't likely coming back to Toronto.

Kawhi sent a message to the team in their group chat to tell them he was going to the Clippers.

Harrison says the next challenge for Masai and Co. is to build not just a one-year winner, but a sustained championship contender. He must think we came into existence when he arrived.

Danny and his boys got robbed in Vancouver.

Danny talks a bunch about some tv series coming up that I think chronicles his travels across Canada at his camps.

That settles it then. It was an incredible one year wonder that many of them knew wouldn’t be the same again. That’s okay. They did it! The Toronto Raptors will forever have an NBA Championship banner.

OG shouldn't be worried about these guys he should be worrying about his game and taking the next step.

You're assuming he wanted them to stay. :wink:

Maybe OG wanted Green gone to have his starting spot again, it's been reported OG was upset to come off the bench.

The Spurs knew coming into this. The recruiting thing started there.

I wonder if the group chat members list has been updated

They knew he wanted LA or they wouldn't of traded him. They were 100% he was gone.

Lol I made a joke about Kawhi messaging them on a Whats app group chat, I guess that's pretty much what happened lmao. He's so corny. Also I'm probably never listening to this podcast again. Sorry Danny.

If Kawhi had really wanted to come back and wanted Danny the Raptors would have made it happen

Yeah, there was a list of like 4-5 guys they leaked after the trade here.

He wasn't as subtle as he thinks.

Glad you got paid Danny and I wish you all the best but, **** your team. As long as you're on the Lakers, I hope your team never makes the playoffs.

marc: wtf???

Really enjoyed the podcast during this special season, lots of great insight. I doubt I'll keep watching if it's all Laker and LA content. Maybe some Raps will be back on when they match up next season.

Why does it say in the title "Trade to LA"? Was he traded, did we get a 15 mil trade exception from LA?

I just watched the podcast, late I know. It was nice at the end, sentimental, how Danny and the host guy said goodbye to TO and the Raps. Seemed heartfelt and genuine. I was kinda tearing up. A little bit of closure for the Kawhi/Danny "era"

with the amount of roster turnover occurring in the league now, I wonder if new group chats are started each season

Probably after each major trade.
