Leonard and Danny Green for DeRozan, Poetl (whom I'll miss) and a top 20 protected 1st pick is a goddamn steal by the Raptors and nowhere near what people were expecting.

WE KEEP ANUNOBY!!!!

Now the goal is to sign Kawhi to that max 5 year 190 million dollar deal instead of the 4 year 151 mil he's allowed anywhere else.

The deal itself is a steal. However, if Kahwi leaves, it obviously ends up being a worse deal.

If anything, it’ll be a wild season
 
Kuzma, Ball and Ingram would all be of interest for sure. I could see a deal happening

Ball is terrible and his family is worse. Hard pass.

I don't know why people think it will be so easy to flip Kawhi to LA. From what's been reported, they're not willing to include Ingram, Hart or Kuzma in any trade and are more than willing to wait out one year.

It’s funny that we we fire Casey and then bring in two of the betters defensive players in the game right now.
 
Idk how to feel. Traded away one of the only guys in franchise history that actually wanted to play in Canada for a guy who will bolt to Lebrons team in a year.

Can they sign Leonard to a max deal now and than trade him?

And that we get the Lebron stopper the year after Lebron finally leaves the East.

But in any case, this is an amazing deal.

Ball is good, and the best young asset the Lakers have. His family is fine.

Selfishly, I’d take him in a heartbeat just to see the snowflakes melt.

Sad to see a guy so invested in the city like DeMar go, but this also sets up the future well whether Kawhi stays or goes. Now the Raps can afford a max on the open market (Kawhi, Butler, Kyrie, Thompson as examples). Need to move Powell’s contract to keep JV in the fold too.
 
This is a great trade. We didnt give up too much all though I liked Poeltl.
Derozan has been a great player for us but when you get a chance to get a star, you have to take it.
Getting Green makes it even better.
 
Why not, they are really only paying Lebron big money and I’m guessing Deng would come back in any trade, so I think they would have the room
True, I suppose they could send quite a bit of money back our way. They are okay now, but they have quite a few players that won't be cheap to resign. Although some of those players would also be in a Kawhi deal if it were to happen
