Trade: [TOR/SA] Leonard and Green to TOR for DeRozan, Poeltl and draft considerations

[Voight]

Speaking of Masai, apparently Woj couldn't even wait an hour after the game ended before blurting out that the Wizards are going to try and poach him away from Toronto.

What a dick move.

Honestly, it had been more than 24 hours since the last Woj Bomb so people were getting worried. They thought he was ill or something

 

[irunthepeg]

Hard to say.

Masai was on the podium accepting the trophy when he tweeted it out, lol.

Bron/Durant/Davis/Harden - guys I'd take over Kawhi.

I'm biased when it comes to Harden.

Kawhi is the best 2 way forward

Arguably top 5 best overal

Durant
LeBron
Kawhi
Curry
Giannis

Durant
LeBron
Kawhi
Curry
Giannis

He's inarguably in the top 5.

Some of these takes from when the trade went down are a reminder you gotta let the people involved in the trade actually play games before making big, definitive proclamations about it.

Sorry i meant that was arguably the top 5 in order imo

I had LeBron at 1 to start the season but I think both KD and Kawhi may have passed him. Might be biased but I prefer PG over Giannis and Steph right now, too.

Durant
Leonard
James
Davis
George

It was a good trade for the Raptors I guess.

 

[Jussi]

It was a good trade for the Raptors I guess.

At least there's one team in Toronto capable of doing that...

 

[jaems]

hahaha, giving up DeRozan for half an injured Kawhi that might play half the year?

well, thats 1 less team the Celtics have to worry about

Not doing anything sure worked out well for the Celtics who got demolished by the Bucks lol

Ah fair enough! My bad.

 

[kihei]

I thought the trade was a desperation move of the kind that never (make that, almost never) work. Wrong on that one.

Looking back at those first couple of pages was interesting. Some wild takes were being thrown around.

You know, there’s a sweet irony for a player not wanting to play in Toronto.

Doesn’t feel good, does it?

I don’t like this trade: yeah KL is a top talent but will bolt after one season. Better win it all....which won’t happen.

This is going to turn out really really bad for the Raptors lol

Lol what are you doing Toronto?

Sure they'll push Boston. But, they'll still be swept by GS if they make the Finals. Thus, this deal makes no sense. Especially when Kawhi will be gone in a year.

Seems like Ujiri is the one who doesn't want to be in Toronto either. Dumb DUMB trade.

Not a good week for that BigBadBruins poster

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

Got me. I was wrong in a sport I casually watch.

Congrats to the Raptors, they still better hope that Kawhi doesn’t leave. If he does, they’re one and done.

Masai will find another way.

Davis to Toronto!

The Raptors season starts and ends with the Kawhi laugh.

 

[DueDiligence]

Well you missed this one didn't you!

 

[DueDiligence]

Trading literally all your best assets for a man who ALREADY is being reported as not wanting to play for you.

Feels...like a bad move.

Nope!

Wrong again!

 

[DueDiligence]

Just an awful awful trade for the raptors.

Sure was!!!
