Woj didn't know a thing. His latest update before this broke said as much. Nobody knew. The PG trade was a megaton that nobody even hinted at.
NBA 2019 Offseason |OT| Nobody beats the Wiz (ards of Washington DC)
- Thread starter Crumb
- Start date
He may not have KNOWN a thing, 100%, but he was consistently hinting it was the Clippers more than likely. Hence him being called a Clipper shill, like, basically since July 1.
Last thing I am going to say and this does not come from a place of bitterness.
People need to go to church, temple, mosque, etc more often. This just isn’t normal for a player to want to play for the Clippers. It goes against the natural order of things. It’s not far from bestiality or whatever it is that Celtics fans do in their free time.
The only solution is a lot more prayer. Prayers for the planet. Prayers for your soul.
And prayers for our beloved underdog Lakers.

fuck...
But man dude delivered Raptors a championship I can't even knock him.
He was the ultimate professional during that time.
Thanks you, Kawhi.

PG being convinced means nothing. That was all on OKC and I still don't see why they traded him when he had years left. There was not one peep from anybody about that trade.
I mean even I said on Friday that the Clippers were the best choice given all of Kawhi's apparent objectives. Still didn't see it happening until they got another star and the market was dried up per basically every reporter. Sometimes you're good, sometimes you're lucky. Clips got lucky here.

One good thing for OKC fans is they dont have to worry about being eliminated in the first round, since they won't make the playoffs next season
I would agree with you if the Raptors were run like the Knicks, but Masai actually knows what he's doing. Wiggins basically signed a max deal and is on the books through 2023 with 27, 29, 31, and 33 million per season. If Masai wants to rebuild, taking a max player who doesn't play like one is a big ol' money pit best left for the Wizards.
MLSE is special in that they already have the Dallas Cowboys of the NHL (Leafs). Raptors success is great, but they aren't thirsty for Canadian stars. The only way I'd see Wiggins happen is if the front office truly believed they could turn him into a top 30 player...
That is at least the truth. Its a lot better than everyone else with Lakers being a done deal and 99% to the Raptors.
I don't feel as mad or upset as I thought oddly enough.
I mean we won a championship. It will be a foundational piece for years to come for Canada and Raptors to build on.
We have Masai, Bobby, and Nurse.
I am optimistic about our future.

Raptors rebuild incoming?
They didnt even make the playoffs last year, hold on now...
It's scary how OKC actually has a decent chance to rebuild. Future talent could end up in Oklahoma and rot there.
wow I woke up and the world changed.... this is gonna be an interesting west conference season
They've now gone thru 2 MVPs and a fringe candidate in PG. Will probably lose WB now too. Maybe they should just take a few years off.
If okc wanted Wiggins they could get him and a pick or 2 for Schroeder, Roberson and Patterson. Honestly they may do that depending on what they get back for Westbrook (and potentially Grant)
Based on Sam Presti’s preferences it will most likely be one of San Antonio, Miami, Cleveland, Orlando, Detroit, Charlotte or Houston
The Asset Masai would want is a future lottery pick from Minnesota for an expiring like Gasol. Wiggins is just a way to get an extra lottery pick, plus he may help sell a few extra tickets. It’s toronto having motivation to take Wiggins as a dump not giving up assets for him.
Send Westbrook to Houston to put the final nail in the coffin in the rockets championship aspirations
Lou's 6th man though, right?
Also, I missed all the action earlier. It will be amazing if someone could go back and quote all the users who talked like an insider saying that Kawhi's going to stay or go to LAL. Just for the lols.
Raptors will still be a playoff team.
Pop with Russ would be something...
Why can't the Raptors attract free agents or keep stars? :(
Lowry, Demar, you real ones.
Thanks for the chip, Kawhi. Let's retool this thing.

In their defense, they were plagued by injuries throughout the season
Lakers biggest revenge is eliminating the clippers in the playoffs....too bad we have an incompetent front office.
Anyway we still have lebron ....... aged yes, but still lebron freaking James. Please don't disappoint. Im betting on them even though my mind tells me they are f_d and clippers are the better team.
Let's go lakers!!!

I can imagine how Demar would feel if that happens, lol!
Iinjury prone AD and old man LeBron leading a crew of flunkies is a recipe for disappointment on that front, yet again
Yes, next year when everyone are off the books except Anunoby, Siakam and Powell. I think Masai next focus is getting Giannis. I guess the only I would hope for that the Bucks won't make it to the Finals in the next 2 seasons.
Chuck Gasol, some first rounders, Powell, and Anunoby for Westbrook and let's go for a Siakim-Westbrook duo, Masai!
Dont do this.
they'll have over a $100m in cap space next off-season. Think big man, sign Anthony Davis and Draymond lmao
PG and Leonard together on a team with a real coach, depth, and front office might actually scare me more than that Lakers Big 3.
I think a LOT of teams will focus on Giannis lol. I'm curious if AD stays with the Lakers after this season.
Westbrook's owed something like a $170M over the next four seasons and already slipped a notch last year. The only way he gets dealt is if OKC takes back a Wiggins or Chris Paul contract.
lmao. That means nothing. After Kawhi left, I'm not optimistic that a superstar will ever sign with the Raptors. I'll only believe when they signed the paper.
