Boston is farther away from San Antonio than Toronto, and just as cold.  In basketball terms, the only thing that mattered was that the trading team was in the EC.

No way. Toronto is definitely colder.

Also, probably merge topics?

It's nice a few months a year. I guess it's a plus that NBA players get to fly South for a lot of November-March.

Spurs got a great return for a guy on an expiring contract who sat out more than a year and made it clear he not only wants out, but want to go to LA.

Derozan, Poeltl, and a protected 1st is an awesome return.

Have to agree they got a lot back considering their limited leverage.

I’d move to Toronto in a heartbeat if my wife and I could find jobs there.

Imagine the Spurs sending him to a cold out of the country Eastern team and that has higher taxes.Gotta love the destination as far from California as you can get.New coach and a dismembered team.He can't sit out or he loses free agent status.
DeRozan made sure he doesn't trust management.
For a quiet guy, he is in the center of a toxic situation and risks the hatred of Raptors fans and the constant media attention-not the good kind.
Pops has got to be in hysterics.
The higher Canadian tax situation is the cherry on top.
Yeah that is just beautiful

Yeah, it is indeed really nice. Reminds me of a massive version of Portland, ME. Great food, cute girls, lots of money, very low crime, generally nice people. Visually appealing. And a forgiving media.

Also, I haven't heard this mentioned, but the exchange rate is VERY favorable right now. Kawhi is getting paid in American money, and that will go a long way up there. That should help offset the taxes should he choose to stay.

Don't be shocked if he has a change of heart after spending some time there and wants to stay.

I actually see it as a much more polite, smaller version of NYC. Toronto is way bigger than Boston.

It's a great city.

Last great mind who made such a move was Descartes to Sweden and we all know how this ended. Just don't it salty.

I've toured Boston and Toronto (and parts of the east coast during my trip being a Californian). Very nice cities. Toronto's tax seemed high though. The weather and environments are much more qualitative than SoCal. We need rain here.

Being a Boston fan though, I'd rather deal with Toronto/Raptors fans than those pests walking around in their yellow-purple jerseys with either the #24, #8, or the-now #23 imprinted on their backs. Suddenly a lot of LeBron fans in LA lol.
