Damn I could see that happening. Spurs seem to want a proven piece and don't want to rebuild. This guy seems to be well connected to and called the LeBron lakers and Cousins not going to LA.


I called LeBron to the Lakers last year. Im well connected too.

It's worth it for them. They know (or at least should) that Lowry and DeRozan isn't cutting it in the playoffs. This is probably the last year they have of this core

And they get out from under DeRozan's contract in the process.

I still doubt this happens, though.

If they don't have to give up too many other assets. But 2 young bigs and picks? Nope. However without those, SAS says nope. So...

Jimmy Butler needs help apparently in his current situation. He liked this too.

If the team is trash and can't get out of the second round that core ain't worth keeping together.

I'm a lot better with Toronto giving the Spurs Derozan for Kawhi, rather than Philly getting him without giving away too much that will hurt them on the floor

Saw this gem in general and it made me giggle.

I am curious to see how DeRozan plays under Pop and how Kawhi plays outside of Spurs.

Imagine DeRozan turns into Kawhi and Kawhi turns into DeRozan.


Oh man if this really does happen, Raptors fans will go insane. But this just feels weird to me.
Kawhi, bro......you serious about this? :crazy:

Spurs fans (a lot of them) are cringing at this.


How do we feel about this?

Would Kawhi or Uncle Dennis be happy with this?


Pop wants a good team to make another two playoff runs before he retires. DeRozan is a pretty good player and while the Raptor have obviously not done as well as the Raptors might like DeRozan may blossom in a new situation with a HOF coach. OG is a good role player. Raptors get to shake things up and if Kawhi doesn't work out he is an expiring anyway. Not the worst trade for San Antonio. Better than Saric and what the Lakers are offering (Deng and an autographed poster of Magic giving Popovich the middle finger).

Imagine if we lived our lives in the public eye like they do

Imagine our bosses reacting to our social media comments and likes about working for other companies?

I find jimmy butler annoying. That’s immature BS

This will be hilarious seeing Toronto lose early in the playoffs and then lose Kawhi next offseason. :lol: They'll be no better off than last year, and they'll have nothing to show for giving up their best asset and a decent prospect. With Kawhi and Lowry's injury history, they won't even make the playoffs if either one lose significant time.

Jimmy Butler bitched in Chicago and is now bitching after one year in Minnesota, and his "liking" social media posts saying he should play elsewhere is classic passive-aggressive behavior.

The guy is a loser and a locker-room cancer.
