Hopefully, this lights a fire under everyone's ass and after a short break they come back to focus and level up again. No time to waste.

Okay, so I had a full 9 hours to digest everything and here is my rant...

I am pissed bro, we gave this guy everything. Took a risk on his bum ass legs, rehabbed his ass back to normal, Load managed his way back to the top, kept him under the radar so he can rebuild his reputation, fu.ck this. Have fun being hated in LA, cause that place is not Clipper county, it is Laker county! Have fun being the team that is hated the most in LA, the chargers of basketball. Lebron James is going to make sure there are no new balance billboards anywhere around the city, have fun Kawhi, and yeah whatever thanks for the title. You owe us as much as we owe you.

Fu.ck this I’m getting a drink,

Masai wanted to keep the cap space for Giannis in 2021.

Time for OG to take performance enhancement pills and braid his hair. This is the only way man

Now that Pascal will be the main focus of other teams when scouted - will be interesting to see how he adjusts.

OG - WOW...what an opportunity for the young man now...

Honestly, so much opportunity for the guys now. Defensively, we'll still be dangerous with Kyle, Norm, OG, Pascal, and Gasol. Offense has to be picked up by everyone, and when sht hits the fan, Pascal will have to be the one to create the shot. Bench will be thin but guys like Malcolm Miller have a great opportunity to develop. We have to throw players into the fire. I'll be surprised if we are end up at the 7th or 8th spot. This team should be good enough to be in the middle of the pack at least. Really intriguing how this all pans out. Championships are nice and the ultimate goal, but we really have to enjoy this journey again. And if we're lucky enough, we win the championship with a team of true Raptors.

we still have that mle, which we can split among a few guys or go all in on one.

mans is acting like we have a garbage roster now. WAKE UP

Nah they stole the Sonic's. No remorse.

'Whi didn't ask to be here. He was voluntold to play for the Raptors. Messed around and won a 'chip. We all caught feelings. Real talk.

His heart was always set on LA. No secret.

He got what he ALWAYS wanted.

Can't wait to blow out the clippers during a Kawhi load management game lol

Bittersweet ending for a championship team. The clippers are going to a be a defensive juggernaut of a team. Paul George, Kawhi, pat Beverly, Landry shamet, will be a killer small ball lineup.

SGA was dealt to OKC with Gallo as part of this whole deal.

Should have just been honest with Toronto to go to the clippers but manipulated and played w the franchise's future and Ujiri to get himself PG in LA. I mean come on dude a plane trip to Toronto isn't respect when you do that.

Overall, taking Kawhi for one year was worth the gamble seeing that it led to the first championship in franchise history.

Fans have to ask themselves if keeping DeRozan and Valanciunas was really worth it if it will never lead to a championship run.
