Shams and Woj Bomb both reporting Kawhi to Raptors for Demar all but done deal.

[celticinorlando]

Lakers might end up being the biggest winner of all if he comes to LA next summer. Get him and keep the rest of your young talent.

[Fafnir]

Its just DeRozan/Poeltl and a protected 2019 pick for Kawhi and Danny Green.

Easily a good move for the Raptors, kept OG/Siakam.

[saltlover]

Who else is included in this deal to make it work? A straight Derozan-Leonard swap doesn't seem to work to me?

i read a report OG Anunoby may be part of deal.

I said Kawhi/Green for DeRozan/OG yesterday.  We’ll see if I have the players correct.

Poeltl instead of OG.  Fine move for the Raptors.

Doubt it. Look at what happened with George and OKC

Lakers too cheap to trade for Leonard. Players remeber these kind of things

That’s all? lol man Toronto going to pretty tough

I assumed Spurs would be getting more young players. Trade doesn’t look so hot for them anymore.

It all depends on the protections. Hopefully it conveys in 2019 when Toronto will be good. And not 2020 or beyond when they will be terrible.

Kawhi Leonard has been informed that the trade to the Raptors has gone through, pending physicals—and given his injury, that is not nothing. Assuming he passes, per source, a long term stay in Toronto past this year is going to be “a very tough sell.”

[Moranis]

Yeah keeping OG and getting Green makes it a much better deal for the Raptors.

Assuming all the injured guys are healthy, this is pretty clearly the 2nd best team in the East now and are close enough to Boston that it wouldn't really be an upset if they won the series.

PG - Lowry, VanVleet, Wright
SG - Green, Powell, Richardson
SF - Leonard, Anunoby, Miles
PF - Ibaka, Siakam
C - Valanciunas, Nogueira?

I'm betting its just lottery protection for the Raptors, but it could be the dual top/bottom protection I guess.

[celticinorlando]

Meh...I will gladly trade out an unhappy Leonard to the East for LeBron to the West.

Celtics to me still are a cut above. Thinks this affects Philly more.

I read somewhere that the best case scenario for the Lakers would be a trade as opposed to FA signing. It seems that if thru trade, they will free up enough salary to get another max FA.

[Fafnir]

Yeah Kawhi might not go to the Lakers, I don't think he's sticking in Toronto though. Lots of teams will be putting out the red carpet for him in FA.

[CelticSooner]

Regardless on paper Toronto improved this season if Kawhi doesn’t pout.

[celticinorlando]

There is no doubt that Danny could have beaten that offer if he really wanted to.

[Fafnir]

Pick is protected 1-20 and becomes a second rounder after this year. No way they lose a lottery pick.

Dang no one was offering ANYTHING for Kawhi.
