kudos to Kawhi for getting a championship for Toronto. hope he stays there for the good of the team and the league. would have been sweeter if they had beaten a fully healthy GSW team but they were a legit championship team. makes the C's dysfunctional season that much more depressing knowing that if they had gotten their act together for the playoffs, they had the talent to win this year particularly with the injuries to GSW.
Whether KL leaves or not its already called a magnificent success.No one in their right mind would have thought the Raptors would win it all. This was one ballsy move that will forever etch the career of Kawhi... Specially if he leaves because if he does, then he will become the one and only player in history to lead his team to a championship in his one and only season with the team.... If he stays then that legacy won't be in the books since he will be entering his second and perhaps more seasons with the Raptors.
Unequivocally, yes. They accomplished exactly what they were trying to do; win a title.
The risk was worth it for Toronto, because they never won a championship.For Boston, as someone who has personally experienced our team winning championships in 68, 69, 74, 76, 81, 84, 86 and 08, trading the farm just to win one championship and then start from scratch just doesn't scratch my itch. We are the Boston Celtics.
Gutting your roster for a guy for one year is foolish. Toronto didn't do that. The best young player on their roster wasn't on the table. They traded an overpaid scorer who had proven he couldn't get them over the hump, one late 1st rounder, and a scrub. And the guy they traded is already on the block with his next team. If the Celtics made a comparable deal, everyone would be ecstatic. That's not what the Celtics are doing. They're p---ing away the heart and soul of their team, and their best young prospect in 20 years, for a guy whose agent and father have been telling the Celtics they're wasting their time and assets in doing so. What Toronto did isn't remotely comparable to our situation. The Celtics are acting like poor people who cash their check to buy lottery tickets. Which is an appropriate analogy, given that's where we'll be fishing 2 years from now.
