Hi guys.

Congrats on landing Kawhi. The man is really is an enigma. Everyone had you out, and look what happens.

And not only Kawhi, Paul George. Wow. What a turn around.

I’ll be rooting for you guys to crush the lakers.

We’re going to miss the fun guy, but this hurts a little less.

This definitely hurts all us Raptors fans, but if he was gonna leave for any team, I'm cool with the Clippers. Congrats!
Good Lord, the little stoner's got a point.

Hurts like a b*tch but I’m glad he chose the Clippers and not the Lakers. And not only did you get the best 2 way player in the game, you also got an MVP contender and lock down player in Paul George. You guys are gonna be a force to reckon with. I hope you guys win the chip (definitely over the Lakers lol). Fun times ahead in LA. Congrats!

I know Clipsfansince98 is beside himself with happiness right now. Special congrats to you sir.

I made a crow thread on the GB. I wonder how much traction it will get? No matter, I'm about 15 deep and just wanna see people's thought processes.

Take that feeling and multiply it by 100.

That’s what you’ll experience when you win the title next year :)

Enjoy the Fun Guy.

It sucks we couldn't convince Kawhi to run it back but it's really easy to see why he signed with you guys. Like the Raptors, every single one of your guys play hard, none of them suck, and your games are fun to watch. Getting PG too was just OD!

Best wishes to the Raptors-West from the Clippers-East. Get'm, bruh!

A few bumps would be nice. When I say 15 deep i mean Jameson... It's been a tumultuous night.

As a Net’s fan I always felt an affinity to the Clippers. I am so happy for you guys.

Congrats Clippers fans, I’m honestly happy for you - after all those years under Stirling, you deserve this. As a Raptors fan, I know what it’s like and I can assure you’ll have millions of fans from the North cheering for you.

We will miss Kawhi dearly, not even on the court, but off the court. I just have so much respect for him as a person that it will be sad not having him around our city.

But we got our ring, and can’t ask for much more, now it’s your turn.

Good luck and go win a bunch of championships, we’ll be rooting for you. With love from the North.

Congrats in return to Raptors fans! What your team pulled off this year is what Clipper fans have been dreaming of for decades. Hopefully it will be our turn next. There's no doubt in my mind that Masai will have Toronto back in title contention as soon as possible.

Raptors could have had PG and Westbrook and kept Kawhi.

I understand not wanting Westbrook because of his age, contract and ballhogging ways.

But Kawhi walks away and Raptors lose one of the best players in the league for nothing.

Sure they’d have given up Siakam, who has a great future. But is his ceiling better than Kawhi and PG?

With Kawhi and PG under contract, those are major assets, more than making up for what they’d have given up.

Instead they lose their star, got no way to get anyone near his ability.

Not to mention the assets they gave up to get KL last year

it's gonna be satisfying as hell watching you guys shut the Lakers down next season. Congrats, we the hurt right now but we still the north!

Y'all deserve it though. Nobody is scoring more than 100 on the clippers next season lol.
