Why the f*** would you enjoy the downfall of a franchise that’s still recovering from the wounds of the Sterling regime?I’m absolutely thrilled by the downfall of the Clippers.
PG seems like a good fit in LA.

Everyone and their mother knew it was a one-and-done thingBitter Raptors fan who didn’t appreciate how the Kawhi signing went down.

Who gives a shit? That shows you an owner that cares about his team. Kawhi made no verbal commitment to the Raptors and he owes Raptors fans absolutely nothing. If the “way it was handled” still bothers you, then you soft af. Nothing “blew up in his face.” He’ll always find a way to keep this team competitive. Talk about obnoxious? How about the way Toronto media handled it? They were practically stalking and begging Kawhi. How pathetic was that? Plus, it wasn’t the Raptors that were a threat. It was the Lakers.Then the Clippers would have been secure enough to not send team employees to Raptors games throughout the season. But Ballmer made his big splash, mortgaged the teams future for George and then had that obnoxious press conference before they even stepped on the court. So I can’t help but enjoy that it blew up in his face.

And then of course, Toronto was at it again with Ohtani.
As Raptors fans, you just have to accept that Toronto will never be a free agent destination in the NBA. Simple as that. But sense of entitlement is something you can never get rid of, so you do you.The fanbase was coming off a moment of euphoria. Were they over excited? Probably, but that might be the only time the Raptors sniff a championship in their history. Imagine having your first championship snuffed out by a free agent decision.
At the end of the day, sports is entertainment and Ballmer was the villain for us. I don’t have to explain myself any more than that, it’s not that serious. Glad his experiment is a failure, I don’t have any sympathy for him.

At the end of the day, Ballmer is one of the best owners in the league. I don’t think he needs any sympathy especially from a random fan.
Dismissal? It’s just the damn truth. Nobody wants to sign with Toronto. You call it schadenfreude. I call it inferiority complex. Lol big market team. Toronto is a big market itself. The only difference is nobody wants to sign there. But yeah, self-entitlement will always be part of your DNA.You call it entitlement, I call it passion. Most people didn’t hold it against Kawhi as it was his choice to be with his family. Doesn’t stop me from rooting against the Clippers, schadenfreude is natural in sports. Your dismissal of Toronto is an example of what breeds resentment for many Raptors fans. It makes it that much sweeter to watch another big market team fall flat on their face.

I mean, you’ve got to be a f***ing dumbass to hold it against teams that have natural geographic advantages. That’s why you play victim all the time. Just be happy Toronto has a team.You knew what I meant by big market team - free agent destination with inherent advantages. Nobody is insecure about that, we know that’s how the NBA operates. That dynamic is always going to exist within the league. If anything the entitlement is from the premier teams in the league.
It just makes so much sweeter when a team has those advantages and still manages to f*** it up. Winning a championship despite it was also awesome.
The Sixers were one of the teams interested in trading for Kawhi, and I 100% know that it was always assumed that he was heading to LA when his contract expired. Does that mean that it might have been possible for the Sixers to re-sign him? Maybe, but there was absolutey no hint that that could happen. It was basically, do you pay a high price (Ben Simmons plus a bunch) for what is in all likelihood one shot at the title?i wonder if kawhi would've considered staying in toronto if the clips hadn't been able to acquire one of his stars of choice
don't think he ever seriously considered signing with the lakers and playing third fiddle behind lebron and AD
I'm surprised no one brought up George is a terrible layer who pads stats and chokes when you need him most.
he's a #2 being paid like a #1 who doesn't know he's a #2.
