That "What it do baby" quote was one of the most awkward things I've heard.
Glad I never have to hear it again.

first of all, thats messed to wish upon someone. its basektball fam, chill out

2nd, the man played injured for us. he could have sat out like he did in SA and not risk his health. he didnt, he played even tho we was clearly hurt (man legit would limp every other play at times).

he played his butt off for us and to be this salty that u want to see him injured. thats just clown stuff

The dishonesty doesn't come from knowing Kawhi wanted LA. The dishonesty comes from the way he did it.

The whole narrative -"oh, Kawhi is thinking about this VERY carefully and he hasn't made up his mind, that's why it's taking so long" was a lie. Pure and simple. He was stalling for time for the trade, not because he was trying to make a hard decision.

Showing up at a Jays game and wearing a Jays shirt to get a picture taken was all part of the deception that the Raptors were still being considered.

Fans are right to be angry, not because he left....but because of the underhanded way he did it.

Exactly how long has he been talking to PG?

And Chris Haynes comment about how Kawhi and his camp were finding it "comical" that the Lakers and the Raptors were ignoring the Clippers? I doubt neither organization is finding it very funny and goes to show more about the lack of integrity and respect.


Lol get over it. Drama queen.

You wanted him to come out and say “hey guys I need to wait and see if the Clippers can make a trade for Paul George mmmkay don’t do anything in the meantime thanks”


No.

But how about telling Masai he's got no chance and to not waste his valuable time creating flow charts, graphs and future plans for a meaningless pitch?

How about just going home to wait for the trade instead of trotting around Toronto and making sure to wear his Jays shirt for a picture?

How about telling Cris Carter - who apparently shares the same agent- to forget about telling his audience that ALL the teams are in the running and Kawhi is just being very, very careful and weighing all his decisions but the Raptors TRUST factor is huge in Toronto's favor? Of course, Cris could have meant that sarcastically now that we know the real story.


Curios, did you tap Masai's line and record the conversations he had with Kawhi and his camp? Seems like you have a lot of information regarding the particularities of their dealings. Funny, I can't remember a word about what did or didn't happen in their meetings or conversations ever surfacing. You seem to know everything, though. Could have used you on here as another "insider" last week.

Stop it. Don't wish injury on any player. You're being a child.

What happened with the Spurs and in free agency doesn't impact what Kawhi risked taking Toronto to the Finals. He easily could have called it a day mid season and still get to LA. He was committed to Toronto and gave his heart and soul here. The guy is no snake. I really think the PG power play by the Clippers clinched what was likely a splitn decision until that point.


Do you think he would have gave it his all if the Raptors weren’t contenders though? He saw a chance to win a championship and took it. It’s not like he didn’t benefit from his season here.

and we benefitted right along with it.
not sure I understand the negative spin fans are putting on it. it was a win-win situation here and both parties came out ahead.


Exactly. I mean Toronto was destined to end the current run next year with those expiring deals (Lowry, Ibaka). The gamble on Kawhi was worth it, and he delivered with total class all the way.

The only thing is Toronto couldn't pivot like Golden State did with the Durant sign and trade. It would be nice to get something, anything back; but that is what happens sometimes. Both the Lakers and Clippers had nothing to offer, and Kawhi was willing to settle for less.

Just a bum looking to discredit this championship. Listen to what Riley said to Masai. Once you win a championship, it's yours and nothing and nobody can take that away from you.
