Raptors just burned down their future for a rental. And they still will not be good enough to beat Boston.
And you can book Raps v Celtics on opening night
i disagree . They got rid of a huge contract, with a player i think mgmt was not totally on board with after his nothing playofrs . i doubt they would be much better this year anyway , if Kawhi stays thats great move. if he leaves , then fine , the Derose was becomming less popular with his no defense game. They were stuck below the Celtics . This move gives them a chance to improve and if not, push the button to rebuild with space to do other things . It was a great move for both . Spurs spit in the eye of Magic Johnson and Lakers ....don't create another super power next door in the West. They get a really good player , who will come around to playing in SA . Kudos to both Clubs . Kawhi needed to be brought down to earth . Maybe he ll cool off up north. Or do an Alonzo Mourning and FAKE more injury to sit out the season. This judt shows his true nature and hurts his worth in the long run.
The big Loser is the Lakers. hands down.....taking on the the Lebron Circus was supposed to include up to TWO all stars to follow . NOW ...not in two years . The door was slamed in their face. They have maybe two good years of Lebron contract and maybe two declining years . Then he is anold man in the NBA.
