It's the only way raptors can be competitive now. There's absolutely no way players from USA going come to Toronto. This is the best team we can ask for. Let's hope the team can go deep and show effort in playoffs this year.
@@calvinwong365 They've never had a problem resigning their stars, and have been able to bring in new pieces every year. NBA stars flock to Toronto every summer, so they know what the city has to offer. The main thing in the NBA is that most stars don't leave via free agency regardless of where they play. Only about 5 big names have changed teams via free agency in the past 15 years.
Kawhi can make a PERSONAL announcement at 11:59 pm June 30th right before he becomes a free agent that he's resigning with Toronto at 12:00am July 1st & ESPN STILL gonna say there's a high probability Kawhi will change his mind in the next 30 seconds & go to L.A.😫😭😭
@Adil A💀💀 You probably in a city called Brampton, & our second language in Canada is French..Toronto is multicultural not just Indian, you probably saw middle eastern people too & thought they were all Indian
There's literally no reason for him to op in for only $21 mil when he can op out and sign with any team with 5 years $190mil contract. Who would lose about $20 mil a year for no reason?
Adam Alkhafaji people who live in new york or cali always think the world revolves around them and the rest of the world could care less. Texans are like that too. They are so delusional about themselves
America in general acts like LA and New York are the only places that matter, as if it is some sort of character flaw not to live beside an ocean. Even politicians openly using the term "fly over states" during campaigns... Toronto has one of the best and most knowledgeable fan bases in the whole show. As fans, we know how to treat our sports stars.

Its called Liberal bias. They only care about NY & California. Apparently dont care much for the ppl in it, as Cali has the highest poverty rates, homelessness & income inequality. NY is expensive asf despite small apartments/housing and extreme income & educational inequality (especially between blacks/asians).
Lolol ESPN worried that Kawhi actually wants to stay in Toronto. ESPN are finally off the "Celtics are the best in East" bandwagon and now are trying to dismiss the fact that Kawhi and Raptors medical staff and front office are in unison and have a great relationship. Unless clippers can hire Raptors entire medical staff I dont see Kawhi leaving Toronto..... 🤣 sorry ESPN
The funniest thing is it took them this long to hop off the Celtics bandwagon, and instead of going to the raptors they say the bucks and sixers are favorites 😂
You realize that Kawhi to the clips has been reported by more than ESPN right? And on that note, say Stephen A don’t be a bitch call him out, what the hell does ESPN have to do with his takes
Isn't this the same guy who said DeMar was definitely signing with the Lakers a few years ago?... Isn't this the same guy who said the Lakers would make the playoffs?... Get the - - - - outta here.
He also predicted the NBA finals wrong 6 years in a row and freaked out when the Knicks drafted Porzingis cause he thought he was trash lmaooo. It is actually impressive how consistently wrong this guy can be and people still take what he says as facts.
@M M that isn't much of a prediction fucking everyone saw that coming. It was either the Lakers or the Cavs, and last year playoffs literally screamed LA
Why would anybody listen to espn who would want Kawhi in the LA Market for $$. Same thing for TSN they’re biased towards Raptors. All i know is nobody knows what Kawhi will do.
LA is warmer and a bigger market. Everyone and their mama's going to LA. SAS logic for you P.S. If you don't mind the cold, you're going to NY to build your legacy in a bigger market.
It's crowded, but look at the Clippers now. They're a 5 seed with...what star? Gallinari? You add Kawhi and another max player or a couple other pieces, with Doc Rivers at the helm, you're good to go. Oh and you're home, where you've wanted to be.
Agree wait to the end of season.! We will soon see NBA all most over but I respect the fact Toronto was careful with kawhi with his minutes noting the coaching staff was extra careful with him management control so he could be health . Rather than what sanitino spurs did to him . They were going to offer kawhi lots of money in new contract but it wasant about the money kawhi
Stepehen A. has consistently said that EVERY Raptor free agent would leave. He was right only once, with CB4 when he joined LeBron and Wade in Miami. Every other big name free agent the Raptors have had has resigned basically within a day of becoming free agents. All hot takes aside though, winning matters. Familiarity matters. Trust matters. Health matters. And yeah, money matters. Even though the yearly average would be roughly the same in TO or LA, that extra guaranteed year means something to a player that's had health issues. And for those that don't know; taxes are the same in CA as they are in ON, with a couple of loopholes that actually save you some money by playing in Ontario. All that aside, I really do like what the Clippers are becoming.
@@markg.2135 they traded him because they wanted to free up space for FA(they might grab KD and Klay), so they wanted picks and Shamet instead of getting nothing
In this case he's probably right though. I'm sure Kawhi playing on a good team with a SuperMax is tempting, add in the fact that LA is his home and you got one hell of a good situation waiting for Kawhi in Clippers land.
The CLEAR one up I'll give Toronto over the clippers is the fact that we have a 9 month head start over the clippers organization & getting kawhi comfortable with our coaching/medical staff & culture. I'll take that over a 1 hour presentation trynna sell Kawhi on why he should come to Toronto any day. & not to mention Toronto is one of the best cities in the world.
Taz J CLIPPERS ARE BETTER... And i hate the Clippers, they got better GM, better coach, more cap space, better city, better media market, better weather and he gets to play at Staples Center. Every star player has left the Raptors except for Demar which they traded 🤣🤣🤣 Kawhi is gone already, it just isnt official yet.
I am sick of the NBA. We can not focus on the games now because all you guys want to talk about is where a person is going to sign. Once he signs, then what???
@WAFLZNSYRUP. You have a pathetic account. Kawhi said so himself in an interview that he didn't like the Lakers dumbass. Just because a person is from somewhere does not mean they must like that team dumbass. Watch the interview yourself dumbass, he says it at the end of this video ruclips.net/video/qxUPlix_lzI/видео.html

Nkosi Rooms thank you so much for saying this beside you there are bunch of haters out there that doesn’t want Raptors to be in a Final. I’m a big fan of Raptors since day one. I believe in them
if kawhi stays, in 2020 free agency, raps have only 10m in salary. factor in kawhi's 35ish that puts them to 45m and still can have 2 max slots not to mention pascal siakam is a rising star. I think kawhi knows that he has a good thing going for him in TO that can keep him in competition for the championship every year. also if marc gasol declines his option and 2019 he signs for like 5m and in 2020 signs for 20m (just so raps can go after a nice free agent this summer) that could work too.
Marc Gasol is a type of player who would sign for the minimum, just to compete for a championship, that's why I kinda liked the JV-Gasol trade. Jv was gonna take about 15m or something, while Im pretty sure Gasol will take a minimum.
I have to wonder like how often does the media get these free Agent predictions right tho? Like I have only been watching the NBA for a few years but from what I have seen these guys are like right like 30% of the time and yet they keep making bold predictions with such confidence
NBA stars don’t want to play for the clippers, imagine going into staples centre and seeing the real LA franchise’s banners and retired numbers and the feeling you get. Ask Chris Paul, he said the same thing
Unless there is something I am missing Kawhi is resigning with the Raptors...? If he resigns the Raptors will be be a top 3 team in the NBA for the foreseeable future, that means a shot at a title for the next 5 years. He will make an extra 40 million, and he will be surrounded by young talent like Siakam,OG,and Vanvleet. The Clippers currently don't have a top 25 player on their roster and the Raptors have two...they also have their own stadium and one of the best run organizations in the NBA. If Kawhi goes to LA it's a gamble, it could end up being like the Lebron fiasco this year, he has to learn a new system and build chemistry with new guys which takes time. In Toronto he has a sure thing and he can build on what they have already accomplished....oh and he won't play second fiddle to Lebron.
He's wanted out to play for LA since he was on the Spurs. Right before all that fake injury excuse came out the reason was Kawhi wants out because he wants to play in LA. He's not resigning and i'm gonna have SOOOO much fun shitting on delusional craptors fans when he goes to LA. Can't wait!
I feel like kawhi will do whatever is best for his family, seems like that type of dude. If he leaves I will have a ton of respect for the guy, he’s done nothing but play well and has caused 0 drama with the raptors over whether he’s staying or going. Something other free agents can’t seem to do
Stephen A. Smith has been doubting Kawhi's situation with the Raptors ever since the trade, making it seem like Greg Popovich was punishing Kawhi for missing his last season with the Spurs. If Kawhi signs with the Raptors then SAS loses credibility as an analyst, I don't care if it's just a prediction, this man has been building this narrative that Kawhi wants to be a Clipper all damn season and I'm tired of it.
Lol Then they might try to pull a Durant guilt trip on him " the raptors already have a good team, they have Lowry, (slight pause) they have gasol, (slight pause) they have siakam, if Kawhi wants to create a legacy for himself he has to go to the clippers"
Report: raptors confident they will keep kawhi Every american nba analyst: im 100% sure kawhi will go to the knicks, clippers, or lakers... Its just funny how defensive the reporting down south is...
Espn just give it up already. Why would Kawhi go to the clippers... the Raptors have been in the playoffs constantly and have won more than 50 games each time. Only team that has been in the playoffs as often as the Raptors include the spurs, golden state and Portland. Plus he’s in the east, why go to the crowded west just to share the same arena as Lebron. Lastly our youth is good. Pascal gunna be an all star, OG is a nice developing player and Freddie is also the same. Only reason he choices LA is because of family that’s it.
TDreacts well he plays for them now and they’re doing everything right plus Kawhi seems happy. I also never believed any of the bs narrative about him not wanting to play for Toronto during the off season. There were reports he wasn’t going to suit up and play and sit out the season Lmaoo really
Andy Garcia Yea and their big 3 is gone. There best player is Danilo Gallinari. In the Western Conference, even with Kawhi it will be tough for them to compete.
Here we go again with 'The Weather' being an issue for Kawhi. I'm sure when Toronto offers him $50mil more than any other team, that will keep him warm throughout the next 5 years.
Kawhi turned down Spurs money and championship potential you rrally think he gives a damn about raptors 50 mil? And if weather aint an issue he'll be happy playing for the Knicks 🤣
Kawhi will stay with Toronto because his legacy will be known for being the first player to bring the Championship north of the border and be adorned by Millions. #facts
H-town 85 in the playoffs anything can happen but due to experience I’m giving Toronto the edge the bucks have done nothing to prove they are the team to beat
Rob S Then traded him. Kawhi knows Masai has no problem trading him if someone like Luka Doncic or Zion Williamson demands a trade from their team in the future.
Stephen A. is absolute tool. He has no opinion. Just repeating everything he hears. If the rumor is more controversial, he'll go with it. Just to get views and people talking about what he said.
How the Lakers are building their squad is wrong. You think by adding AD, everything will be fine? Two max players + G-Leaguers doesn't make a contender.
I think Kawhi is gunna resign with the Raptors because I don't think the Clippers will give him the rest days Toronto does due to them gonna need him every night to have a high seeding in the Western Conference.
Word is the Clippers have an executive that has basically been living in Toronto the last 7 months talking to Kawai’s family. He didn’t buy a $10 million dollar home near LA to live in Toronto 9 months a year and pay CA and Canadian taxes.
The Raptors have Siakam as well, with a healthy bench with good drafting and not in the West if you're a star or a solid player Toronto is an easy destination to go to fit in if you're looking for longterm success. The franchise always seems bounce back quickly after even after losing all stars.
Stephen A Smith: "my money is on the Lakers making the Western Conference Finals". Nobody knows WTF Kawhi gonna do, just him and his uncle. Dont guess, everyone thought Kawhi would be a Spur for life and all that changed. So stop guessing where this man is going to go!
If he does leave I respect the Raptors for swinging for the fences... Scared money never makes money
True that, if the Raptors stayed put with DeMar, they probably finish 4th and get swept in the 2nd round for the next 2 years.
It's the only way raptors can be competitive now. There's absolutely no way players from USA going come to Toronto. This is the best team we can ask for. Let's hope the team can go deep and show effort in playoffs this year.
@Raider Nation101whether LeBron still on the east or not. LeBron ain't beating a Raptors team led by Kawhi in the playoffs.

I only watch these clips from ESPN programs to read the comments and get a good laugh for the day.
Oh how the tables have turned now😂😂
gonna be absoluely hilarious when kawhi re-signs with toronto, kd re-signs with warriors, and kyrie re-signs with Boston
Imagine
Isaac Barrow haha you got all 3 spot on!
Is this the same SAS that predicted Lakers getting in to the Western Conference Finals? You damn sure it is
NBA stars don’t want to play for the clippers, imagine going into staples centre and seeing the real LA franchise’s banners and retired numbers and the feeling you get. Ask Chris Paul, he said the same thing
All free agents' names start with a K. Konspiracy?
@Sandman_0513 killuminati
Unless there is something I am missing Kawhi is resigning with the Raptors...? If he resigns the Raptors will be be a top 3 team in the NBA for the foreseeable future, that means a shot at a title for the next 5 years. He will make an extra 40 million, and he will be surrounded by young talent like Siakam,OG,and Vanvleet. The Clippers currently don't have a top 25 player on their roster and the Raptors have two...they also have their own stadium and one of the best run organizations in the NBA. If Kawhi goes to LA it's a gamble, it could end up being like the Lebron fiasco this year, he has to learn a new system and build chemistry with new guys which takes time. In Toronto he has a sure thing and he can build on what they have already accomplished....oh and he won't play second fiddle to Lebron.
Why would Kawhi go to LA? I'm 100% sure he wants to win his best chance of winning his staying with the Raptors
His best chance to win is going to golden State:)
Becuz clips can sign 2 max deal ,imagine KD and kawhi with Danilo Lou will , Harrell and other pieces
He's wanted out to play for LA since he was on the Spurs.
Right before all that fake injury excuse came out the reason was Kawhi wants out because he wants to play in LA.
He's not resigning and i'm gonna have SOOOO much fun shitting on delusional craptors fans when he goes to LA.
Can't wait!
Lebum James I’ll reply to this when he resigns w the raps lol
I feel like kawhi will do whatever is best for his family, seems like that type of dude. If he leaves I will have a ton of respect for the guy, he’s done nothing but play well and has caused 0 drama with the raptors over whether he’s staying or going. Something other free agents can’t seem to do
Stephen a smith in 2016: DeMar DeRozan has no interest in resigning with the Toronto raptors and will sign with the Lakers. Smith has no credibility 😂
Don't worry raptors fans,
Everytime SAS predicts something, its wrong
Every time you say something.
Thank God SAS is betting on the Clippers. He is always wrong so Kawhi is 100% staying with the Raptors.
Cameron Smart sounds like some dumb and desperate Canadian logic.
Kawhi just wanted to able to trust the medical staff his family loves Toronto he’s even developed friendships, I don’t see him leaving
Smith knows a whole lot of NOTHING! He will stay in Toronto.
Stephen A. Smith has been doubting Kawhi's situation with the Raptors ever since the trade, making it seem like Greg Popovich was punishing Kawhi for missing his last season with the Spurs. If Kawhi signs with the Raptors then SAS loses credibility as an analyst, I don't care if it's just a prediction, this man has been building this narrative that Kawhi wants to be a Clipper all damn season and I'm tired of it.
Seriously how many chance you give to the Lakers?
I think the next move for Toronto should be trying to find a way to get rid of Lowry
Not happening so Stephen A Smith is going to lose a lot of money
Arshdeep Singh agreed
Stephen A stay off that Bush weeeeeeeed! 🤣🤣🤣💀💀
Smith sounds like he's taking it personal about Kawaii and raptors. The hate is real lol. If he does re-sign stand back his head might explode.
" kawhiiii!???? Kawhi Leonard? signs back with the Toronto raptors? this is blasfamois
Lol Then they might try to pull a Durant guilt trip on him " the raptors already have a good team, they have Lowry, (slight pause) they have gasol, (slight pause) they have siakam, if Kawhi wants to create a legacy for himself he has to go to the clippers"
@@damnbeezy7136 auto correct
@@damnbeezy7136 blasphemous
Who’s here after Kawhi signed with the clippers
According to SAS logic at 3:30 why would AD want to go to the Lakers
Report: raptors confident they will keep kawhi
Every american nba analyst: im 100% sure kawhi will go to the knicks, clippers, or lakers...
Its just funny how defensive the reporting down south is...
Espn just give it up already. Why would Kawhi go to the clippers... the Raptors have been in the playoffs constantly and have won more than 50 games each time. Only team that has been in the playoffs as often as the Raptors include the spurs, golden state and Portland. Plus he’s in the east, why go to the crowded west just to share the same arena as Lebron. Lastly our youth is good. Pascal gunna be an all star, OG is a nice developing player and Freddie is also the same. Only reason he choices LA is because of family that’s it.
OtisDonks he never wanted to go to raptors
TDreacts well he plays for them now and they’re doing everything right plus Kawhi seems happy. I also never believed any of the bs narrative about him not wanting to play for Toronto during the off season. There were reports he wasn’t going to suit up and play and sit out the season Lmaoo really
TDreacts And we heard that from him? When? I also remember ppl saying he won’t play in toronto
OtisDonks clippers have made the playoffs 7 out of the last 8 years lol
Andy Garcia Yea and their big 3 is gone. There best player is Danilo Gallinari. In the Western Conference, even with Kawhi it will be tough for them to compete.
Here we go again with 'The Weather' being an issue for Kawhi. I'm sure when Toronto offers him $50mil more than any other team, that will keep him warm throughout the next 5 years.
Kawhi turned down Spurs money and championship potential you rrally think he gives a damn about raptors 50 mil?
And if weather aint an issue he'll be happy playing for the Knicks 🤣
@@Vastatio you dont sound to knowledgeable =/. The raptors are a contender and the knicks aren't
Kawhi pulling a PG
Yup
After PG gets bounced in the first round, I bet Kawhi change his mind on pulling a PG
@stephenAsmith your money was also with the Lakers going to the western conference finals.. How'd that work out?
Guys if kd leave gsw . Dont be shocked if they got rid of Green too and sign kawhi
Kawhi is not a snake.
Wasn't the lakers getting AD at the deadline few months ago?
I'm just glad he not joining the facking Warriors at this point.
Kawhi will stay with Toronto because his legacy will be known for being the first player to bring the Championship north of the border and be adorned by Millions. #facts
Toronto Rap Critic fox he’s not going anywhere
Raptors gonna win the East why would Kawhi leave
@@brianj1203 This is not Milwaukee's year.
H-town 85 in the playoffs anything can happen but due to experience I’m giving Toronto the edge the bucks have done nothing to prove they are the team to beat
SAS said the exact same thing about DeRozan leaving for the Lakers... DD signed back with the Raptors without even taking a meeting.
Rob S Then traded him. Kawhi knows Masai has no problem trading him if someone like Luka Doncic or Zion Williamson demands a trade from their team in the future.
Stephen A. is absolute tool. He has no opinion. Just repeating everything he hears.
If the rumor is more controversial, he'll go with it. Just to get views and people talking about what he said.
Wow! finally SAS prediction spot on!
What if he signs with the spurs again lol!
That would be some next level shit.
Lmao
We don't want his weak ass!
Should have sent that bum to the Suns for a bag of lays!
If kawhi watched this, he'll just be laughing at Stephen A.
Stephen A. "Fake News" Smith
This man is always wrong 😅
Agreed
Stilez agreed no way he picks the clippers
He literally just joined to the clippers with Paul George
Kawhi will go to the Clippers to assemble his own crew and take the crown from lebron
Why would he leave Toronto?
How the Lakers are building their squad is wrong. You think by adding AD, everything will be fine? Two max players + G-Leaguers doesn't make a contender.
What does a clippers fan know about making a contender? You can speak when you bring a championship to LA.
After what the clips did, I can't imagine any superstar not considering them
Man, he ain't going to no damn Clippers lol
He’s like the first player to force himself out of the popovich era spurs don’t be surprised if he does.
@@an7566 He's staying tho
I just want kawhi to sign with the clippers just to see the reaction of these raptors fans lol
KAWHI TO THE LAKERS❗
Maki fax
“ we will be in touch “
No one wants to play for the Clippers LMAO
Lakers Fan Till LeBron Leaves faaaaax how you so smart?
Lol just a day ago a different media source said he was very interested in staying in Toronto
klay to the Spurs.
I think Kawhi is gunna resign with the Raptors because I don't think the Clippers will give him the rest days Toronto does due to them gonna need him every night to have a high seeding in the Western Conference.
Omer Ali they have a high seeding without him already so this makes no sense
@@biglez1459 With him, they can be the 1st or second seed, without him they can be 6,7 or 8.
Kawhi is going back to San Antonio. Pop traded him there for a purpose...
Lol
Word is the Clippers have an executive that has basically been living in Toronto the last 7 months talking to Kawai’s family. He didn’t buy a $10 million dollar home near LA to live in Toronto 9 months a year and pay CA and Canadian taxes.
$$$ I love living in L.A. everyone wants to play here $$$
thanks for the insight James
Kawhi:
Stephen A: Even though Raptors are top two in the league and title contenders,, Kawhi wants to go to the Clippers
Someone messed with Stephen A's makeup
The Raptors have Siakam as well, with a healthy bench with good drafting and not in the West if you're a star or a solid player Toronto is an easy destination to go to fit in if you're looking for longterm success. The franchise always seems bounce back quickly after even after losing all stars.
BREAKING NEWS!!! THE WHOLE LEAGUE HAS SIGNED TO THE LAKERS
This was talking about the clippers
Hardy har har
Stephen A Smith: "my money is on the Lakers making the Western Conference Finals". Nobody knows WTF Kawhi gonna do, just him and his uncle. Dont guess, everyone thought Kawhi would be a Spur for life and all that changed. So stop guessing where this man is going to go!
This man is staying in Toronto.
