Shout out to the hello and welcome boys. Not sure why they get so much hate. The content they put out is always top tier

They can sometimes come off as annoying, and amateurish. Like a couple teenage kids, or an open mic'er. I get the hate sometimes. But they do sometimes get it right and make it entertaining.

Serge remains one of my favourite Raptors of all time

[Mr. Perfect]

Where does Kawhi rank all time if he three-peats with us, then dips to the Clippers for his final years?

Also what do Kawhi's Clipper years look like if he had 3 peated with us then joined forces with an ascendant Shai with their whole slate of picks? Had he joined a team that had spent those two years building a resource base instead of a team that had emptied the cupboards for Paul George?

I think on those two opportunities alone Kawhi's career should be seen as one of the biggest "what ifs" in modern NBA history. He could have been seen as a top 10 guy if things had broken right.

Honestly that's a good question to post on the general board. I love the idea of that alternate timeline. Both Raptors and Clippers came out as losers in the Kawhi free agency, the only team that won (and won big) was OKC.

If Kawhi came back, they would've re-signed Green, and their bench would've been VanVleet, Powell, OG, Boucher, Ibaka. That bench makes the playoffs.

No way we could have afforded to re-sign Danny. He wasn't worth going that deep into the tax for. OG had a horrible 2018-2019 season but he would have been our two-guard. He can obviously guard 2-5, and hit 3s.

Or do what we ended up doing, starting Kyle AND Fred.

Alex Wong is absolutely insufferable and I refuse to listen to him.

False on the bolded. Kawhi and PG13 were a package deal wherever he went so if Kawhi stayed we were trading for PG13 too. The Raptors version of the trade was reported to be FVV + Siakam + 4 unprotected FRPs for PG13 + Westbrook (plus Kawhi and Green would have re-signed).

Quantity-wise the team would have had the same amount of player depth, just substitute FVV + Siakam for PG13 + Westbrook in this hypothetical rotation.
