Craptors needed to get to the finals, especially this yr with the weakest the east has ever been

It doesn't matter of its 59,69 or 79 wins. Means absolutely nothing if they can't win when it matters as they have clearly demonstrated

[ikid2groove415]

I havnt read all the details yet, so basically now toronto holds the rights to pay him max and that's it? Wow starting to think pop did fukk him over

Chris Paul negotiated this contract for the players - Leonard qualify for the super max from San Antonio because he made the All nba team - it’s design so that players don’t leave there original team - 5 years 219 million - but the minute he’s traded? That’s off the table -

[shadymcgrady]

Blowing up the craptors was the practical and necessary thing to do

Just about everything broke right and perfectly for them last yr and I mean EVERYTHING and they didn't even come close

Great move by the Spurs. Only reason Toronto did this was the incentive of $50 million extra
they can offer Leonard next summer more thank the Lakers or anyone else.
Toronto is perfect for a whiner like Leonard. He will become very wealthy bilking their fans
with false hopes of ever winning the East.

Great move by Toronto - they weren’t winning with Lowry and derozan - I said there’s a 60/40 chance Leonard Resigns - Toronto is a big city

[ManosdePiedra]

IF HE PLAYS at all this year--he was a Raptor for a minute. He is LA bound for sure. KL isn't that concerned abt max contract etc. Different cat. He has enuff money, now looking for peace of mind an solid team

So he stands to lose 80 Million? not resigning with spurs-

[shadymcgrady]

The guy drives a 98 ford bronco, he doesn't splurge on dumb sht. He's practical and mature. With that in mind I'd have to assume he's not a slave to a max deal

Agreed shades, they looked worse in this playoff run then ever. This team was just like most of the guys u see down at ur local gym. All show-no go

[jtoler]

I like this, two headed monster of derozan and leonard. hopefully leonard gets back to full strength. now Id find try to get rid of lowry. dont know why james went to l.a. aint no chips coming thru there before he retires.

[ikid2groove415]

Leonard and green will add defensive presence that Toronto never had - Both all Defensive NBA teams in 2017

What do you mean fella?

[cwnotorious]

U guys think Ujiri may moove Leonard before the season even starts?

[cwnotorious]

What do you mean fella?

Pretty sure jtolee just read this thread title not realizing they were swapped for eachother

[jtoler]

What do you mean fella?

lol didnt know it was a trade, now I dont really like this

[ikid2groove415]

Doubt it - Toronto is a strong contender in the east with this addition - We all thought Paul George was going leave OKC? Look what happen ....

[jtoler]

u r right lol, derozan playing for the spurs seems weird

[shadymcgrady]

Kawhi is going to kill it statistically this yr

[JIBBBY]

Raptors were already a legit playoff team.. Safe to say Leonard is a better two way player then Derozen. Raptors will be a better team next year..

It's a damn shame the Raptors will only have Leonard for one year though.. He's gone in free agency after next year.. He even stated that he has no desire to play for the Raptors..

Feel bad for Derozen as he just went to a team that will be very hard pressed to make the playoffs now..

Derozan isn’t a 2 way player Jibbs lollollol

[jjgold]

Leonard could be a pussy now, might not even play hard and fake injuries

[JIBBBY]

Derozan isn’t a 2 way player Jibbs lollollol

Exactly that's why Derozen is not as good as Leonard.. Leonard better on Defense... Thanks for making my point clear on this matter..

[JIBBBY]

That's true, disgruntled and disinterested employee the Raptors will have in Leonard to start...

Hopefully he'll be professional though next year.. We'll see??? I do think he will protect his body for free agency and really nurse injuries as they happen.. It would be smart for him to do that.. You don't want to have lingering injures going into free agency next year.. Then again you do want to have inflated numbers which he could have playing in Toronto...

I'd worry about Leonard being a selfish player more then anything else..

Guys a class act - keeps his mouth shut and balls out - I think he resigns in Toronto

[Bluehorseshoe]

ESPN is reporting that Leonard won't go to Toronto.

Here comes another trade.

If Toronto doesn't move him right away, they're going to get ripped apart for the deal.

wonder if there is any way both kawhi and derozan could end up on lakers

[KRIT]

Great trade for the Raptors. Even if they only get Kawhi for a year, they unload that loser Derozan. They were never going to win anything with him. Raps win regardless if Kawhi leaves or stays in Toronto.
