Enjoy your work. Life is bigger than basketball.

That's the problem, it's hard to enjoy work as it is XD


Exactly. Work or whatever responsibilities would be so much easier if we get the result we want with Kawhi.

From what I see, people see this as either 2 ways.

Kawhi didn't want to be in Toronto originally. But the Raptors have left such an impression on him that it's hard to let go, since he is at war with himself looking for reasons for him to stay.

Or Kawhi didn't want to be in Toronto originally. But despite the Raptors leaving such an impression on him, he still is at war with himself looking for reasons to leave.

I dunno about you but I can fathom the 2nd line of thinking. It doesent make much sense to me, but we have people putting It together like that. Because if he wants to leave so badly, why is he taking his sweet time? Some of you already sound like jilted ex lovers wanting him out, when Kawhi has not even asked for a divorce yet because the marriage has been good.

Lol, Carter then tries to dismiss our front office like we don't have stability. Masai was rumoured to leave. We fired the coach of the year and traded the franchise player.

That’s all I got. Let’s see what happens. Going to call him soon when he’s up and see if he wants to pop over here with me. So I’ll keep people posted if I go on a scouting mission.
well i work right there.. might do some staking out myself

Pretty sure we get an official answer today. Kawhi has seen all his options already and it doesent make much sense to drag it out past today.

But people need to remember that this negotiation period doesent last until July 6. So Kawhi has not strayed from the rules and has done nothing wrong despite mounting pressure for him to pick quickly. The guy goes at his own pace.

For **** sake!!! How is Kawhi still mulling over this decision.

Kawhi if you’re seeing this ...It’s an easy decision.

Lakers
- a toxic organization
- NO DEPTH. You ain’t going to be able to properly load manage. Don’t believe their lies. Carmelo is not buying you minutes
- Lebron will still get all the attention
- AD had always been a loser
- Frank Vogel is going to coach scared because of Kidd
- Their front office actually sucks
- Lebron is old and AD ALWAYS gets injured

Clippers
- :lol:


Raptors
- NBA Champions
- Deep veteran roster
- Great young coach
-Masai is a great young President. Jerry west is in his 80’s
- whole country rooting for you
- great city
- you get to be king
- low key environment
- best medics staff by far

Well yea if you only look at the negatives of the LA teams and the positives on the Raptors it's a very easy decision, but there are pros and cons to all 3 scenarios.

The GOAT (Michael Jordan) did it twice (‘93 & ‘98).

Nothing worth it. We got our Chips . If he leaves, rebuild around Pascal and good luck to him.

He is finding every reason to leave.. Let him go and see the grass is not always greener. The guy on this sister's video was right . He did not want to be here..

Return to Toronto Raptors
