Woj: Kawhi still leaning towards Clippers, Raptors have a lot of work to do still

[BullyKing]

Pretty pathetic to post this the morning after the dude wins a championship. Like, can you keep it in your pants at least until after the parade..

Eh, I think it is more pathetic to get so defensive about a dude just doing his job.

Just as pathetic as ESPN bringing Damon Jones on air for their first morning segment the day after the raptors made their very first NBA finals so he could predict Kawhi would and should sign with the Lakers to play with LBJ. Like, forget us making the finals, lets start by asking a LBJ paid shill about Kawhi destinations! That's what people care about!

The media pushes narratives, and many of them are bought and paid for to say garbage like this.

Good grief, could you possibly be more sensitive? Should no one have reported on Klay's injury today so as to not rub salt in the Warriors' wound? Get over it. Their job is to report the information they are hearing, not to give you a celebratory grace period.

Yes, its a popular topic right now. Btw I don't think Clips are feeding this to Woj lol. Are they influencing Vegas too?

It's not a popular topic right now at all, it's the usual "It mentions the Clippers so I must post" crap.

How is the NBA's leading reporter providing an update on the NBA's most sought after free agent not newsworthy?

Why, what has Zach Lowe said?

[TheGOATRises007]

Has a player ever left an NBA champion in free agency the following off-season?

[langer]

Woj, I can't believe ppl are stilling quoting from him. Go suck a dickk, Woj.

Woj is Shams now?

The title is click-bait.

"The Raptors have a lot of work to do still", I can't take that seriously regardless of whether it's Woj or not because the Raptors literally cannot do any more to cater to Kawhi and the Clippers have just spent the season stalking Kawhi.

None of it makes any sense and just reads as Woj speculating and sharing his personal opinion not reporting.

It is pretty obvious what he is saying to anyone with basic reading comprehension skills. That notwithstanding the title, Kawhi is not a lock to return. Sorry if you disagree with that but pretty sure Kawhi doesn't care.

[mtcan]

In my humble opinion, Kawhi is crazy if he doesn't try to run it back with the Raptors. At least sign a 1 + 1, damn...

All I would be looking for is a 1+1. Kyle Lowry, Serge Ibaka and Marc Gasol (if he opts in) are free agents next summer. An ever improving Siakam and OG Anunoby (don't sleep on him...had a rough season with injuries and his dad passing...but he will take a huge step next season) along with all the same depth with VanVleet and Powell...all I ask is the chance to run it back. When Kyle, Serge and Marc come off the books next summer...Kawhi can walk off into the sunset with those guys and close this chapter of the Raptors in style.

And yea...give Masai a chance to improve the roster even more and see how much better the team could get.

All I'm asking is the chance to run it back for one season. LA can wait one more season...if that's really where he wants to go.

Would you guys not be crying like children if Zach Lowe had reported it?

[B-Ball Freak]

Woj can go suck his momma. Pouring salt on our celebration every chance he gets

Noticed this too, seems like he salty about the Raptors winning...he can go suck a fat one though these weak ass reports ain't gonna bring us Raptors fans down from cloud nine.

[theSkinny]

Here is my hot take...

I dont think Kawhi has his mind made up one way or the other... he has been laser focused on this season, then he is going to celebrate and digest whats next.

If he really wants to be home, whats one more year and riding this wave and seeing you can turn what most think is a 1 off championship for Toronto into a possible 2 or 3 peat?

Why does it have to be this year he goes west?


Now worst case, he wants to go... fine... I also doubt MU would let him walk for nothing, he can do a sign and trade to get KL more money while getting something back in return.

Oh so reporting "Kawhi is not a lock to return" is newsworthy? May as well report when Leonard takes his next dump at least that will be something new.

Yes, it's clearly newsworthy, which you can tell because it seems to be coming as such a shock to Raptors fans that its ruined their first championship.

That's a terrible analogy. It's okay if you can't read between the lines or you think this kinda crap is fully objective and not an ounce of subjectivity. Their just doing their job!!

[HurricaneKid]

I was 100% sure he was going to stay until within 30 minutes of winning the title he turned away from an excited Masai who was looking for an embrace (and crestfallen at his response) and went on Van Pelt and called the Raps of the future "they".

Now I'm 100% on him leaving.

[marcush]

Don’t stress Raps fans. Just keep sipping the champagne.

Right, he's obviously biased against you because ... reasons. Just let us know when we're all allowed to discuss NBA topics that might potentially have a negative impact on Toronto again.

Apparently, you're not allowed to say stuff like this until after the parade.

And to clarify...he did also say:
"...to give the Raptors something to build on. Something that WE can build on..."

[Jagic Mohnson]

why would he sign with the clippers if the owner might move to seattle netx yera or the yera after that. kawhi needs to stay in toronto or wait till lakers trade bron so he can sign with the lakers.

[killacalijatt]

The guy played out his contract and won 2 ships on the way. He has earned the right to go wherever the F he wants. He aint asking for a trade, he played his contract out.

Now worst case, he wants to go... fine... I also doubt MU would let him walk for nothing, he can do a sign and trade to get KL more money while getting something back in return.

His heath is risky to do a 1+1. And you can no longer get more in a S&T in this CBA.
