    Seriously, what's wrong with Kawhi? The league should ban his ass for playing with any NBA team if he refused to play for Raptors.

    Just wait till Kawhi fails the physical so the trade gets stopped!

    I love that the spurs didn’t give into Kwhi and sent him to the last place he would want to go haha!

    So Toronto agrees to nuke itself for a one-year rental of Kawhi (a guy whose handlers has made it known he don't want to play there)? Never change Raps!

    PG13 went to OKC with every intention of leaving.. He stayed. Who knows, Kawhi's brand might get a huge boost from Drake and the OVO crowd. Shoot your shot, Raps.

    Huge for us honestly. Big that he's going to the east at least for this season.

    Really his attitude is a result of the NBA overhyping him and putting him on a pedestal. Kawhi has gotten ALOT of credit when the Spurs have done well and NONE of the blame when they lose. No one has held him accountable for anything. The guy quit on the Spurs last year and now he's pissed because they kiss his butt good enough while he was hurt so now he wants out. Now every destination that wants to make a deal kawhi's camp goes out of their way to sabotage the trade. Hell the guy said he wants to go to L.A. and when the Lakers engaged in talks Kawhi's camp then puts out he doesn't want to play with friggin Lebron. Kawhi seems hell bent on screwing the Spurs with his departure. But the reality is that they haven't won anything with him as the lead dog anyways and this may be a blessing in disguise. But if some other NBA superstars had quit on the season after 9 games, turned down $221million and sabotaged every proposed trade they'd be vilified. But again as usual Kawhi gets a pass.

    Chris Haynes also said Kawhi has no interest in playing for the Raptors. He says that as if he has choice. This is the best deal for the spurs. Who cares what Kawhi wants. Next time have your uncle negotiate a no trade clause in your contract.

    The Raptors must really not want DeRozen there for the long run as they gave him up for a 1 year rental.

    Horrible contract. He’s on the Butler level of All Star player. Def not a top tier franchise guy.

    Raptors will be in the lottery in 2 years once Kwahi bounces.

    Good for the Raptors! They are finally getting a real superstar. It’s about time Canadians had a star that actually plays lockdown defense!

    Where's Kawhi going to go? He's made it clear that he doesn't want to play anywhere. Lol! He's a weird cat

    Even getting Kawhi for a year to go to the Finals is a win for the Raps. They also shed that terrible DeRozan contract. That guy is a 1 way player that can’t score effectively in the playoffs bc he chokes every year!
