They sure have a better chance now. Also, you make Kawhi go to his third team in three years. Like the Raptors can't lose with this trade….. Unless Kawhi makes a complete mess of the situation and doesn't even report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLikeDefense Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Terrible deal for SA. I like this deal for Toronto. Ujiri had to swing for a deal like this. I’ve always liked him since his time in Denver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully KL doesn't pull a Vince Carter. He won't if he wants his money, but it would be funny. It's a business, man. Not everything is all sunshine and rainbows all the time.

HTTRDynasty Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 This has to be one of the best case scenarios for the Lakers, right? The chances that Kawhi re-signs with the Raptors has to be close to zero, Drake recruitment pitches and all. Lakers are much more likely to get him for nothing next year than if he had gone to Philly, Boston, or LAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have two years without James in the east to at least get to the Finals. Leonard or not, they aren't winning though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBURGE Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Who starts at the 2 for Toronto, Anunoby, Van Vleet..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtait93 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Murray/Mills/White Derozan/Bellineli/Ginobili/Walker Gay Aldridge/Bertans/Metu Gasol/Lauvergne Not bad I guess. They got to 47 wins with basically this same roster. I’d say adding Derozan and Bellinelli gets them another 6-8 wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always liked him since his time in Denver. I don’t get why people think is so bad for SA. They had 0 leverage and get an all star in the middle of his prime who’s game is probably going to become even better playing in a great system. What makes you not like it?

Lakers are much more likely to get him for nothing next year than if he had gone to Philly, Boston, or LAC. Who knows maybe he likes being the star athlete for an entire nation, where he be #2 in LA. Star of Canada, better chance of long term winning because he has younger talent to work with, can set the offense to his style and not Lebrons. He might not want to be #2 to a very strong #1. so who knows. I like the Raptors chances next year in the east. Just crazy that the Cavs couldn’t get that trade done with the #8 overall pick. Maybe they knew Lebron was gone this offseason so never tried to make the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle21121 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Not that I necessarily believed it but I do love the instant narrative shift of DeRozan being an empty stats playoff choker who plays zero defense and who was never going to win anything ever along with being dramatically overpaid to now being traded out of Canada is an in his prime all star that is only going to get better and will propel the spurs to another level. Sorry but come on it’s like people just like to **** on the raptors when I see stuff like this. Be more consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
