LOL Raptors won 59 games last year with Derozan instead of Kawhi. Without Kawhi we've beaten some great teams too. We'd be a playoff team regardless of Kawhi. You're bragging about not having lottery picks? Masai hasn't had a top 20 pick either and has never managed to lose less than 48 games in his five years here.
The Nets just managed to claw their way to .500 after like 5 seasons. Your best player right now is barely a top 25 player in the league. Is Russell even better than Siakam our third best player? That's a debatable question. I know you're riding a high here but no need to get unrealistic about your team.
Kawhi is going to the Clippers, it's pretty much set in stone.
Ya'll won 59 games and got beat up badly in the playoffs every single year for like the last 5 years . Please don't compare our situation to yours in Toronto, or Masai to Marks, you know all that we've had to overcome so please just stop. The only good young player you have is Siakam, Van and OG are role players. The rest of your guys are old and will be washed any minute now, makes no sense for Kawhi to resign when your vets only have like 1-2 seasons tops to play at a high level. You and your Raptor buddies got schooled all through this board so we're done here. I know you and your buddies are still salty we washed ya a few years back but you need to get over it bro.
Bruh if the only good player we have is Siakam, then you don't have any good players at all lol.
Besides, I didn't say Kawhi is re-signing with us. I just said he's not signing with your bumass team.
Ain't nobody salty about the Nets bro, we all just feel bad for you.
I don’t think Raptor fans should be hurling any sorrows. With all due respect...
1. Relevancy in the US market.
The Nets with Pierce, KG, corny ass Deron Williams had twice as more national televised games than the current irritation of the Raptors. The Nets with Wallace/Williams/Lopez won 49 games and STILL had more televised games and christmas coverage than the current #1 seed in consecutive seasons. So, let’s revisit the term ‘bum’ again.
Despite all of that postseason success since we’ve beaten you....not one Christmas game, not one MLk game. I’d say that speaks volumes to the lack of faith in the Toronto market and franchise for that matter.
We were going to make a run at Kawhi before he was traded to the Raptors so the obvious sense of inferiority isn’t necessary but it’s beautiful to know we officially are back in the real estate business of renting space in the minds of Raptor fans again.
