That’s $2 million per game

That’s a fantastic, team friendly contract. There’s almost no such thing as a bad 2 year contract.

That’s a lot of trees

Embiid makes 60M next year. 60M for Kawhi is fair

2 years man yall acting like its a 15 year 800m/yr contract like fucken hell.

[deleted]

Canada has a extradition policy unfortunately for Kawhi.

Pablo Torre about to have his best show tomorrow.

But most of his games are played in the US anyway lol

Nah dude just wants to get paid, he don’t give af about winning

He wants that max extension and probably trusts the Raptors medical team since they did a great job managing his knee/quad the 1st time

Shams gave the reason why, he feels a sense of comfort with Toronto being the main one

What’s confusing about this? it’s the same situation harden was in where he would have stayed, but the clippers didn’t want to extend because they want to change their timeline

It’s better for the teams for these guys to leave via trade, so they work together and do that So the player can get paid somewhere else

dont be confused. he just cares about money and not much else

Thats almost Bam money in a few years lol

If you’re Toronto you take that lmao.

Advanced metrics say he’s better than anyone in the east in the 20 games a season he’s played and Scottie is a perfect fit.

You have like a 20% chance of just belting everyone with a healthy Kawhi and a 80% chance that he gets hurt and doesn’t play.

I’d take those odds.

3 years total? Fuck it we ball

I mean he’s worth that based on the year he just had.

Each game costs double when it’s Kawhi

That’s 1.6 Jalen Brunsons

“You could not live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to me.”

since himself lol so true.

He really shoudnt have left in the first place given what’s transpired since then.

The harm is that he should be suspended for a year for circumventing the cap, but I guess nothing ever happens.

The only team that would possibly retire he’s jersey. He just need more time on a raptors jersey

Hindsight is ²⁰⁄₂₀ but to be the star player leaving a franchise that had just won the championship with a perfect supporting cast has to be one of the ballsiest and frankly most arrogant move in nba history, to think that success could just repeat just like that. TBF he had won w 2 franchises and lebron did it, but lebron always defended the chip, tried to repeat, always left on a loss. 

Squeeze those billionaire owners, fuck them fans

I can’t believe we have a player force his way into toronto and tanking his value so he gets a competitive team

Kawhi has the chance to do the funniest thing in the history of cap circumvention

Based on your name, I wonder if you happen to be a Canucks fan.

This is a win-win for both fanbases. I don’t see why anyone would complain unless they’re not involved

This makes the East even more fun

Speak for yourself. I don’t want Kawhi back at all, especially at that price

Yeah why isn’t he getting any punishment for his part in circumventing the cap?

Because Toronto were screwed by the Clippers circumventing the cap so Silver is making Kawhi go back to them

If not by the NBA, the Feds should absolutely be looking into it. There are so many financial issues like fraud (obviously), gambling companies would have to be investigated for insider knowledge if someone knew about this, and defrauding fans by selling a rigged product. That’s just off the top of my head.

Fortunately for Ballmer we have the most corrupt administration in over 100 years and nobody will ever be held accountable

Adam Silver: “The Raptors are an innocent third party, and they acquired Kawhi in good faith from the Clippers. As such, it is not fair to neither Kawhi nor the Raptors for me to suspend Kawhi from the league. We consider the investigation to be closed.”

NBA Fans: “So… are you going to release the results of the investigation?”

Adam Silver: “CASE… CLOSED.”

Is there anyone who has to eat a shoe due to comments from 7 years ago ?

(Just pretend time was paused for 7 years)

Meh, if the trade makes sense and we don’t have to give up and big assets, I’m for it.

As much as I like BI it would be neat for Kawhi to come back

If Ingram is the main guy going back, they should absolutely do it

This is what im thinking. Im sure he wants to get paid, leave a better legacy for himself and get his jersey retired by a team. Plus he’s got good connection up here in toronto. Hes kid was born here as well. So technically he’s kid is canadian.

I’m absolutely dumbfounded on what this man actually wants and why it’s reported that he wants to be here. All that being said I’m totally down for the return

Uncle Dennis going to get his jersey retired at the street manager hall of fame at the least

Yes exactly. People are tripping in here about what he’s worth. Injured as hell, sure. But he’s a top 10 player lol. I get the whole circumventing the cap thing and he should probably serve a suspension but if we’re just talking basketball he’s still elite. Do elite players not get paid such money?

You had me till mentor lmao

None of this ever would have happened if you guys didn’t insert yourselves into the Kawhi shit while he was still playing for us

Spurs fan here. We tried to warn y’all

That would be us the Toronto Raptors

Multiple teams

as a raps fan this is fucking electric tho

The Golden State Warriors?

The Miami Heat

The Lakers

Yeah they could have won back to back 

Marc was the glue that held that championship team together. If it was JV instead of Marc, they don’t win it all.

Bring Marc back too

Your internet plan just got $20 more expensive per month

Fuck Rogers

Mfs basically confirming every star does this and kawhi and balmer just got caught

I know people have a ton of belief in this team, but the reality is teams don’t win with guys like Scottie or BI leading them. Kawhi and his health are a big risk, but he’s already proven that he can be that type of player and he’s coming off one of his best seasons ever.

Some risks are just worth taking, it might blow up in our faces but what are the odds they acquire another guy with that potential impact over that time?
