Shams: Kawhi to Raptors

[slightly biased bias fan]

Last season Kawhi Averaged 28pts/6rebs/4ast/2stls and he played in 65 games. Im guessing it?s because of that.

Are you aware he is under investigation.   

The Kawhi Leonard-Aspiration Scandal, for those blessed enough to have avoided hearing about it, can be oversimplified as such: investigative reporter Pablo Torre alleged last September that Leonard had been paid $28 million through a fraudulent company (Aspiration) to do nothing, a sum which eventually rose to $48 million after additional reporting. Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer had invested $50 million in the company, which has since gone bankrupt from a much larger fraud case, with Torre saying the ?no-show? deal was a massive circumvention of the salary cap.

He could be banned any day possibly.

 He is also 35 and no man beats father time.

I?m aware as I?m sure the Raptors organization is as well. It will get swept. He is still a star player in the league.

I highly doubt that.

The Raptors (along with the Spurs) actually reported Uncle Dennis & his demands for a no show sponsor to the NBA.

I just hope it does not affect the 2028 pick

A 2028 first round pick (the LA Clippers? own) that, if it is top 16, instead becomes the unprotected right for Boston to swap its currently-held 2028 first round pick (the worst of Boston?s and San Antonio?s) with the better of the LA Clippers? or (if Philadelphia?s is top Philadelphia?s 2028 first round pick."

The leak isn't going to alter pics that already belong to other teams.

I saw Kawhi fired his uncle and hired a real agent.

Kawhi obviously knew his uncle was up to all types of shenanigans in the past. Panicking now because of this investigation. Happy to let his uncle do all that crap when there were no repercussions.

Yeah.  He's the fall guy.  My guess is that he's a willing one, and will be repaid for his loyalty.

You don?t think the Raptors know that he has been under investigation? I highly doubt that.
