Kawhi traded to Toronto

Derozan was as loyal as they come, it's a business I get it, but everyone here in Toronto wants blood shed for this trade

They should....it would be like Donovan being here for 8 seasons and been loyal and embracing like he’s been and then trade him for nothing just because you want to reboot. If I’m a fan, I want my franchise to stand by that player since they stood by the franchise and community. I don’t like what they did at all. It makes what the Jazz did with their guys even more admirable. They told Favs not to worry about stats, and they would take care of him because of sacrifices he made, and they did. They took care of their guys, and while yes it’s a business, I truly do believe Dennis Lyndsey and the Jazz organization care about their players as people not products, it’s also why they only draft or sign players that fit here, because they want full investment from both sides.
 
I used to think Masai Ujiri was a good GM... Not anymore. Stupid asf. The Raptors are coming off of their best season in franchise history. And they fire their coach and trade their best player. Kawhi will leave after next year. This isn't like the PG situation. PG was open-minded about considering all options. Kawhi has people in his ear telling him where he should be and what he should do. He's gonna leave. And Toronto will be left empty handed trying to rebuild

Nonsense. They will have tons of cap space to sign another star if that will be the case. Heck, if they are sure Leonard not staying they will package him and deal him somewhere else. And while Derozan was the best scorer team actually looked better without him. Ball movement, shot selection and defense was all better without DeRozan. Watch them fight Celtics for the best record in the East now.
 
Woj just said on Sportscenter that "Kawhi has “starting warming” to the idea of coming to Toronto"
 
SA has some talent locked up now. They are a little light on 3 point shooting. Three starters, Aldridge, Derozan, and Murray, all lack a reliable 3 point shot. Bertrans will help. Derrick White looked very impressive in SL, he'll need to step up too.

Toronto won't trade Kawhi. They will try to convince him to stay. And he won't. What star are they going to sign to replace Kawhi when he walks that will also be an upgrade from Derozan? They could have challenged Boston by standing pat. Boston wasn't their problem. The mental hurdle of overcoming LeBron was. And LeBron isn't in the east anymore.

They didn't trade for him just to trade him away. There's no guarantee that they'll get the offer they are looking for. It would have been easier just to trade Derozan for whatever they really wanted if that was the case. They traded for Kawhi intending to keep him. And I'm like 98% sure Kawhi will indeed walk after next year. The people who have his ear want him in LA.

Are they a highly sought after destination for free agents?
