Wouldn't it be amazing if Kawhi actually signs with Toronto? Some of the reactions after the trade are just plain dumb.Michael Collins sounds like a complete childish idiot. Are you sure that San Antonio is giving out high five's Will Cain? Also, I love when Will Cain says this deal defies all reason and logic.Papi saying for him to fake an injury. Got to love Adnan Kirk, who makes great points and is from Toronto. Jalen Rose always spoke highly of the Raptors from the trade to the playoffs. If Kawhi signs with the Raptors, a lot of people are eating crow
No doubt, he hit the nail on the head when all the other clowns were sticking to the I hate Canada narrative. My favourite moment of the finals was the hug between Lowry and Kawhi while Silver stands there with his arms crossed and his pout on in the background.
- Jalen Rose has always defended Toronto as a legit basketball market, he played there with Vince Carter when they had some success in their early years, Jalen loves Toronto and you can always count on Jalen to defend Toronto's honour whereas most other expert opinions on ESPN don't feel the same about Toronto for whatever reason.
@@realproject1 . I just came from the video where they were talking about who got the better deal in the trade, and Ryan Hollins was arguing against the other 3 about how Toronto was doing fine with the trade and that Kawhi has a real chance of staying whereas the other 3 guys were saying the Spurs got a better deal and stuff. It's fun going back to watch these videos now and to see how right or wrong they are. And surprisingly, Hollins was right...
And its not even a year since they posted this vid. Ayayaiii Kawhi!! Much thnks and love for giving Canada its 1st taste of victory!...in basketball that is!
philly is run by retards who hold on to draft busts for too long and end up trading them for pennies on the dollar mid-season compared to what they were worth in the preceding offseason before they played more games. Philly traded Fultz, Noel and Okafor for scraps despite wasting lottery picks to draft them.
@@gianlucan8301 Simmons is decent but the whole situation is wack. He was toxic with the fanbase before he acted like a diva with his trade request and suspensions. Lol Morey thought the worst he could do was trade Simmons to Golden State for Wiggins and some picks. The Warriors won't even pick up the phone now to entertain the idea of a straight up swap of Simmons for Wiggins. The Warriors owner is going on radio shows calling their trade for Wiggins for D'Angelo the best in franchise history. Wiggins is balling and he was always durable he suits up for a high majority of regular season and playoff games in his career. He also doesn't pass up open shots or dunks and brick free throws.
Senseationial lmao the 210 is not hicksville dumbass. Learn your geography and ethnicities. So many mexicans there. It's a pretty gangster town. I used to trap there
Holy shit some of the chuds should be shaking their heads right now. Whether he leaves or stays, Kawhi owes us fans absolutely NOTHING. He likely wasn't too happy to be here but he showed up and showed out and now look where it's taken him and the team. This was a magical season and regardless of anything else, this was one of the best trade in the history of trades. Dude will go down as one of franchise bests. Unreal.
“The Spurs are going home high fiving” - what a joke of an analyst! This was a good trade for Toronto from the very beginning even if they were NOT leading 3-1 in the finals. DeMar had reached his ceiling. So had Casey. They were both great for Toronto and have contributed to us (Raptors) reaching to this point. But it was time to move on from them and Ujiri did that. Raptors fans backed him went the trade went down and now it has paid off in the most spectacular way possible. It has also exposed mainstream US media to be utterly clueless or dishonest or both. Jalen Rose (he has always been liked by the Raptor fans from the time he was a Raptor) and Max are the only ones who did not let their bias get in their way wrt Toronto.
Jacob Potul... that was embarrassing. Has this man watched a single gosh darn Raptors game? Even a clip? Jakob Poetl ( Yakob Purtle) has to have come up. Come on Woj. I realize I am unreasonably angry about this.
This is because American media ignores Toronto. They are all incompetent idiots...not even 1 person mentioned that Toronto can romance Kawhi all year and if he still wants to leave in Feb...start a trade bidding war with the LA's. Probably the most important factor in the trade.
ShotDead247 or just not play his best like Kyrie did in last games of finals before leaving cavs ..If a player doesn't want to play for or believe in a team the team suffers
Natural Prep People talk about KD and Cousins being snakes. But honestly, I think Kawhi is worse than both. He's acting so entitled and childish. I've lost all of my respect for him.
what facts do you know about the spurs-kawhi situation ? or you have none like nobody else does ? the 'greatest coach' of all time they say says kawhi conducted hisself professionally during his stay there and they have a relationship so stop dckeating
It's a win win San Antonio got a lot more back than anyone else was willing to offer and Toronto is an immediate title contender for 1 year at least then start the rebuild they need
As a spurs fan I like this trade, if it's one thing that pop knows how to do is to bring the best out of all his players Demar will be fine now it will take a while for him to adjust into the system but overall we will be ok
My feeling is that all of this will hurt Kawhi Leonard.His beeing away and staying quiet and wanting to get away really badly will in my mind hurt him long term and his self esteem.Tommorow is not promised .Where DeRozan , who may not be a top 5 player will benefit from beeing someone who took a pay cut for loyalty and love for Toronto will play for Greg Popovich now and PoP will find a way to even elevate and convince DeRozan that this is a good place for him.Guys just watch and mark my words .Kawhi Leonard made a huge mistake for staying so quiet and just beeing bizzare throughout this whole season.I hope not but i feel it will backfire on Leonard.Wish them both all the best!!!!
Mike Roagression It's crazy how simple it is to change the image of a player with a little bit of media propaganda. Like it really does show how the entire world are sheep easy to move with a simple bark. Kawhi WAS the Spurs. People saying he benefited off of the Spurs system... How does that even make sense when he primarily handles the ball when he scores. That would apply to an off the ball player. Not Kawhi Leonard. Now there is talks of him " not being the same player " like what? People are so quick to tear you down when you don't dance to their whims.
ThePopbanks007 california has state income tax "idiot". I lived both places and Texas is almost half as expensive for day to day things. Tobacco, gas, groceries, etc.
Crazy when you think back on it that Kawhi was going to be one and done anywhere he went if it wasn’t LA at that time. So the Raptors giving up their franchise player to get Kawhi was the biggest, best gamble ever, and it paid off tremendously.
What’s also interesting is that the Raptors had their best regular season record in 2020 right after Kawhi left for not a thing in return, not even cap space. So in hindsight losing Derozan wasn’t even a gamble because Derozan and then Kawhi left for nothing and they were still elite regular season team. Lowry was the true engine and losing Derozan allowed Siakam and VanVleet to step up. I love Derozan but the “gamble” of trading him for nothing was worth it 10/10 even without the chip
I got a feeling Kawhi not gonna go the the lakers next year lol. Might shock the world and go to the clippers to be the face of an LA team or stay with Toronto to be the face of a championship contender
Lowry is a bum once the playoffs start plus once all the young celtics/sixers start approaching they prime in the next 2-3 years the raptors will be done
Him winning one ring with the Clippers and be the equivalent of him winning 5 with Lakers ... back in the day he could have probably done it but with these super teams it's near impossible now days
All this lebron talk and he hasnt did shit for the lskers yet....lets talk about the whole west....rozan in a good situation....has a great coach to learn from and elevate his game....kawie has a chance to actually play in the eastern finals....interesting season coming up
Chris Haynes : I was told that Kawhi Leonard has no desire to play for Toronto... NBA Finals MVP and Champion : Kawhi Leonard from the Toronto Raptors.
I'm sure all of you are looking at this video and Spurs are punching the air. Because Kawahi is having having the LAsT Laugh 🤣🤣🤣🤣. NOW Spurs needs to 🤫🤫🤫
Thank goodness this video is still up lol Now the Raps are Champs with Kawhi being the FInals MVP. It's really amazing what a year can do to a player. I'm just happy my city has won something that alot of great players in the NBA hasn't achieved. Watching this video now with a nice smile in my face lol
Kawhi was leaving anyway next summer for nothing. This past year Kawhi did next to nothing for the Spurs with his injury. So they basically lose Danny Green for an all star in DeRozan and a much needed center in Poetl who will see good minutes on the Spurs. The Spurs won the trade. Toronto got 1 year of Leonard and gave up a young very good back up center and an all star and a first rounder.
Josh Paulus Exactly. Also, if the Spurs are really interested in Poetl they'd make sure he turns into somebody that would help their team. Just like what they did with Kawhi.
Jalen is one of the few who can call it right. He can remain unbiased and having played in Toronto knows the reality (not the bs most of these US "broadcasters" spew) of one of the top basketball cities in the world. In fact Toronto is the 6th largest market in the NBA and continues to grow.
That segment talking about trading Jaylen Brown or Markelle Fultz for Kawhi was crazy talk in hindsight is fucking hilarious. I will say though Brown is about the only guy who consistently showed up for the Celtics in the playoffs.
July 2018- SAS: Haha you just traded for 1 yr of Kawhi TO: Have fun with DD June 2019- SAS: I think we just lost the Kawhi deal TO: Thanks for the Chip SAS.
Watching this after the 2019 finals is hilarious. Not a single person even giving them the remotest chance of winning even a conference final. And here they are, NBA Champs
Play wise, Kahwi is a good fit, enhancing the tenacious “D” of the Raptors and their offence too. He can do it all! Masai probably up to something ; stone cold killer that he is! He gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse!
PG stayed in OKC because he did not want to be any part of Lebron. So Kawhi, first he said to move to the Lakers, now he is saying any team in LA. Is it that bad for a star player to play with LeBron? I think K Irving can answer that.
narciso negron No all-star wants to be bossed around by Lebron. Ask Kyrie, Lebron was basically the coach on the Cavs and Kyrie didn't like that so he left
Carrain Warner u can’t say that cuz Kyrie doesn’t seem like he wants to win lebron wants to play with those who want to win kyrie is looking to leave the Celtic’s cuz there arc too many good players that could question whether he is the leader which makes me thinks that he’s the problem as I don’t recall I poing guard ever being the leader of a dynasty
narciso negron it's apparent you're unconscious you're the type thats easily led by all the hype, rumors / innuendos, speculation, and hate stop putting words in PG, kyrie and Kawhi's mouth > then, shut your own mouth you hater
How come nobody is talking about the fact that DeRozan and Gay are not capable of playing together whatsoever. We sat through this in toronto and it was horrible
He could have gotten a spurs supermax deal of $219mil over 5 years. Since he got traded the most he can get from an extension is $108mil over 4years from Raptors. If he becomes a FA next summer, which he certainly will, he can get $190mil over 5years. The smart move is to sign a short deal and then get the supermax when he has 10 years in. The bigger shoe deal he will get in LA will more than compensate the salary loss. Apparently Nike was only offering $20mil over 4 years. The other top 5 players get much more. Because Toronto can not offer him a super max, he will become a FA next summer. Lakers will be waiting for him.
talon310calif Yeah your info is slightly off. Toronto can offer him more than L.A. That's why the reports are he's upset because he will have to leave nearly 80 million on the table if he walks away from Toronto.
I have been wondering if anyone has ever heard the conversation that took,place between DeRozan and Masri. The public has only heard DeRozan's side of the story and I think Masri is too much of a gentleman to dispute what DeRozan has stated! I really find it difficult to believe that Masri lied to DeRozan!
For raptor fans this trade sucks, As a business it was a smart move for the raptors. They pretty much started there rebuilding process already, some people just haven't realized it yet! Sure the clippers don't have that much to offer for kawhi come trade deadline or at least as good as the lakers would have to offer, but if the lakers realize later on that kawhi could be going to another team in LA and could potentially be signing a max extension deal there then there fucked. Cause lebron is not enough to beat the warriors even without boogie with the current team they have! They need kawhi plain and simple! He's there piece to beat GSW (when they lose boogie next year) Raptors can now trade kawhi to the lakers or the clippers, meaning they could get ingram or kuzma and some picks or whatever the best offer the clippers could give them! Cause even if the clippers can't give them what they want, there gonna take it then just letting him walk in free agency with nothing! Raps don't even have next years pick! Masai did what he had to, he realized the hate him and the organization would get but he knew it had to be done!
Chosen Lol the Raptors don’t have any leverage in a trade. Why would the Lakers trade their top young players for a guy that will likely sign with them anyway.
Antonio 2k97 lol if this kawhi trade happened and lebron signed again with the cavs (same team and everything) we would beat the cavs! Kawhi would keep that man contained! Raptors did better with demar on the bench somehow and managed to almost take game 3 had demar performed! So imagine what would happen with kawhi
Allen Zafra Huh? The Spurs are about to be eliminated and the Raptors are about to advance to the eastern finals so how did the Spurs get better and why are the Raptors bitter for advancing to the finals?
Who’s watching this after the Raptors won the NBA finals
It makes this video so funny... These "experts" had no clue.
Wouldn't it be amazing if Kawhi actually signs with Toronto? Some of the reactions after the trade are just plain dumb.Michael Collins sounds like a complete childish idiot.

All this lebron talk and he hasnt did shit for the lskers yet....lets talk about the whole west....rozan in a good situation....has a great coach to learn from and elevate his game....kawie has a chance to actually play in the eastern finals....interesting season coming up
what’s the record of LeBron against coach Pop?
DP30
😂😂😂
Chris Haynes : I was told that Kawhi Leonard has no desire to play for Toronto...

Perfect mix of both young and seasoned vets. Great squad.
I’ll never underestimate the strengths or weaknesses of my Spurs whilst under coach Pop.
@@jasonheffner6291 LMAOOOO
Lol
Jalen rose is the only broadcaster I actually respect
Jalen Rose once again shiwing why hes the best in the best. BOSS MOVE
I'm sure all of you are looking at this video and Spurs are punching the air. Because Kawahi is having having the LAsT Laugh 🤣🤣🤣🤣. NOW Spurs needs to 🤫🤫🤫
LOL at Jalen chugging apple cider vinegar.
NBA champs lol proof that some of these "experts" have no idea what they're talking about
Only Jalen Rose knew back then that kawhi will take the raptors to the finals but it was even better they won the championship
He's going to win an MVP with the Raptors
Edward Bliss i think you forget lebron exists in LA
Leave Here not LeBron lmao it's gunna be someone like Giannis or anything Davis
Leave Here not LeBron lmao it's gunna be someone like Giannis or anything Davis
The Greek will win
Not While THE GOAT KEVIN DURGOAT IS IN THE LEAGUE
Thank goodness this video is still up lol Now the Raps are Champs with Kawhi being the FInals MVP. It's really amazing what a year can do to a player. I'm just happy my city has won something that alot of great players in the NBA hasn't achieved. Watching this video now with a nice smile in my face lol
Who’s watching this after the Raptors made the finals?
Coming back to all of these videos
Came back to say Toronto are the NBA champs!!! Thank you Kawhi!!
Im here at work enjoying all these vids from last year.
Kawhi was leaving anyway next summer for nothing. This past year Kawhi did next to nothing for the Spurs with his injury. So they basically lose Danny Green for an all star in DeRozan and a much needed center in Poetl who will see good minutes on the Spurs. The Spurs won the trade. Toronto got 1 year of Leonard and gave up a young very good back up center and an all star and a first rounder.
Josh Paulus Exactly. Also, if the Spurs are really interested in Poetl they'd make sure he turns into somebody that would help their team. Just like what they did with Kawhi.
Masai always wins 🇳🇬 🏆🇨🇦
Jalen is one of the few who can call it right. He can remain unbiased and having played in Toronto knows the reality (not the bs most of these US "broadcasters" spew) of one of the top basketball cities in the world. In fact Toronto is the 6th largest market in the NBA and continues to grow.
Congratulations Toronto Raptors 2019 NBA Champions
And Raptors just won the NBA Championship last night... thanks in no small part to Kawhi
That segment talking about trading Jaylen Brown or Markelle Fultz for Kawhi was crazy talk in hindsight is fucking hilarious. I will say though Brown is about the only guy who consistently showed up for the Celtics in the playoffs.
July 2018-
SAS: Haha you just traded for 1 yr of Kawhi
TO: Have fun with DD
June 2019-
SAS: I think we just lost the Kawhi deal
TO: Thanks for the Chip SAS.
Watching this after the 2019 finals is hilarious. Not a single person even giving them the remotest chance of winning even a conference final. And here they are, NBA Champs
It shows how genius this move was from the Toronto Raptors perspective
Kawhi is gonna stay in Toronto don’t @ me. I hope y’all come back to this video in a year tho and @ me when I’m right so I can say I told y’all so

Play wise, Kahwi is a good fit, enhancing the tenacious “D” of the Raptors and their offence too. He can do it all! Masai probably up to something ; stone cold killer that he is! He gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse!
PG stayed in OKC because he did not want to be any part of Lebron. So Kawhi, first he said to move to the Lakers, now he is saying any team in LA. Is it that bad for a star player to play with LeBron? I think K Irving can answer that.
narciso negron No all-star wants to be bossed around by Lebron. Ask Kyrie, Lebron was basically the coach on the Cavs and Kyrie didn't like that so he left
Carrain Warner u can’t say that cuz Kyrie doesn’t seem like he wants to win lebron wants to play with those who want to win kyrie is looking to leave the Celtic’s cuz there arc too many good players that could question whether he is the leader which makes me thinks that he’s the problem as I don’t recall I poing guard ever being the leader of a dynasty
narciso negron not true, it's obvious that westbrook talked him out of leaving
narciso negron only illogical bronsexuals have a problem with your comment
narciso negron
it's apparent you're unconscious
you're the type thats easily led by all the hype, rumors / innuendos, speculation, and hate
stop putting words in PG, kyrie and Kawhi's mouth > then, shut your own mouth you hater
How come nobody is talking about the fact that DeRozan and Gay are not capable of playing together whatsoever. We sat through this in toronto and it was horrible
He could have gotten a spurs supermax deal of $219mil over 5 years. Since he got traded the most he can get from an extension is $108mil over 4years from Raptors. If he becomes a FA next summer, which he certainly will, he can get $190mil over 5years. The smart move is to sign a short deal and then get the supermax when he has 10 years in. The bigger shoe deal he will get in LA will more than compensate the salary loss. Apparently Nike was only offering $20mil over 4 years. The other top 5 players get much more.
Because Toronto can not offer him a super max, he will become a FA next summer. Lakers will be waiting for him.
talon310calif you have it backwards. Only Toronto can offer him 190 mil over 5.
talon310calif
Yeah your info is slightly off. Toronto can offer him more than L.A.
That's why the reports are he's upset because he will have to leave nearly 80 million on the table if he walks away from Toronto.
I love that Jalen has what looks like ACV, maple syrup and cayenne pepper on his table. Master cleanse? Respect.
Jalen only one who got it right
I have been wondering if anyone has ever heard the conversation that took,place between DeRozan and Masri. The public has only heard DeRozan's side of the story and I think Masri is too much of a gentleman to dispute what DeRozan has stated! I really find it difficult to believe that Masri lied to DeRozan!
props to jaylen
I wish the trade would have been announced during the daytime rather than during the wee hours of the morning while we were all asleep!
"you want markelle fultz for a year of kawhi?! No thank you!"
And now whose laughing?Toronto supported Kawhi and to Kawhi is the best city and best time of his life and now an NBA2019Champion MVP
For raptor fans this trade sucks, As a business it was a smart move for the raptors. They pretty much started there rebuilding process already, some people just haven't realized it yet! Sure the clippers don't have that much to offer for kawhi come trade deadline or at least as good as the lakers would have to offer, but if the lakers realize later on that kawhi could be going to another team in LA and could potentially be signing a max extension deal there then there fucked. Cause lebron is not enough to beat the warriors even without boogie with the current team they have! They need kawhi plain and simple! He's there piece to beat GSW (when they lose boogie next year) Raptors can now trade kawhi to the lakers or the clippers, meaning they could get ingram or kuzma and some picks or whatever the best offer the clippers could give them! Cause even if the clippers can't give them what they want, there gonna take it then just letting him walk in free agency with nothing! Raps don't even have next years pick! Masai did what he had to, he realized the hate him and the organization would get but he knew it had to be done!
Chosen Lol the Raptors don’t have any leverage in a trade. Why would the Lakers trade their top young players for a guy that will likely sign with them anyway.
TheAfroSamurai cause they could just send him to the clippers! He said he’s cool with either team and if Toronto gets a good deal he’s down!
Chosen atleast be happy your team can make it to the playoffs bron not there so no need to worry about getting swept again
Antonio 2k97 lol if this kawhi trade happened and lebron signed again with the cavs (same team and everything) we would beat the cavs! Kawhi would keep that man contained! Raptors did better with demar on the bench somehow and managed to almost take game 3 had demar performed! So imagine what would happen with kawhi
Chosen your right he would lock Bron down
4 years later.
Raptors are NBA Champions, Kawhi was the Finals MVP & now 2023 Jakob Poeltl is back home in Toronto dominating
masai ujury looks like a genuis now
I dont think people in these comments realize Toronto isnt the arctic lol, its basically a smaller cleaner NYC
Where’s Stephen A smith reaction? Spurs got better and Raptors got better
real shit homie
the spurs.got.better and the raptor.got.bitter I guess that's what you mean holmes
Allen Zafra Huh? The Spurs are about to be eliminated and the Raptors are about to advance to the eastern finals so how did the Spurs get better and why are the Raptors bitter for advancing to the finals?
This is entertaining going back to this after it's all done.
Shows how little these experts know about being a GM in the nba
One fun guy, the green ranger, and the Larry OB for Deebo, Jake Puddle and the 30th pick. This is a fucking great trade.
