DeMar is better than Chris Bosh and accomplished way more as the leader of this team.
Props to TZ for the sig:

You misspelled Kyle Lowry. Bosh had a G-League team around him and accomplished more than DD.

Feels weird putting him as number 2 on any list (no pun intended)

Demar plus a pick and a top 10 pick prospect for Kawhi, ya that's more than the TPE Bosh got us!

Kawhi because he is. Even if he was a dick in free agency.

Re: Best all-time Raptor #2
After Kyle, it's Vince Carter and that's obviously a longevity thing.
As good as Kawhi's one year was, it was one year. I view him as a mercenary and his season akin to 1992 Dave Winfield rather than a franchise legend like Roberto Alomar.

It's basketball. One guy makes all the difference.

yup and Winfield wasn't the best player on that Jays team like Kawhi was on his.
It's very hard to find examples of the Kawhi situation. There might not be one.

It does. Still doesn't make him any more than a mercenary for this franchise.

Re: Best all-time Raptor #2
Winfield was the best hitter on that Jays team, 4th in WAR overall, and they definitely don't win without him (he had the World Series winning RBI). You'll never see his name/number on the Level of Excellence, though, and there's a reason for that.

Can’t really compare that to Kawhi because he was one of five players on the court and at major stretches carried the team on offense and defense by himself.

He's way more than a mercenary. He played his absolute hardest and won us a title. There's nothing to criticize his attitude or play for. He left it all on the court.
