Every since he left, our players are all been super outspoken about their love for the city. Is this a response to Kawhi's departure?

If we use the cap room next off season, we will have the full 67M to work with before signing Pascal but if we save it for 2020 we will only have 42M because of Pascals new contract.

I am Team Westbrook. You don’t always have a top 3 PG and MVP just available for pennies on the dollar like right now.

We could contend for 4-5 more years with this move

Curry is 33, Klay is 30. GSW is looking to compete now. They don’t have time to wait for D’Lo to develop. I could see them wanting Ibaka or Gasol maybe even Kyle. Those are championship pedigree players that can put them over the top

Kawhi and Danny puts us around 42M less in salary If we trade Westbrook for Ibaka(expiring), FVV and Norm + picks. that leave us with a lineup of Westbrook/Kyle/OG/Siakam/Gasol. That is a decently competitive lineup for one year. RHJ/Stanley/OG off the bench with a couple vet min guys.

Next offseason we free up another 60M in salary.

The only commitments we have is 38M on Westbrook. 2M on OG 3.5M on Stanley and 1.3M on Thomas. That's 45M on salary. The Salary cap in 2020 will probably be around 110-112M. That leaves us with 67M cap room. We have to re-sign Siakam. But we have his birds rights so we can spend our cap space then re-sign him after. Same thing with Kyle if we bring him back an

Which one do you rather we do at this point.

frankly, I feel that it's hard to get to the point that we are at, and It would be better to continue being competitive than gambling on getting back to this point through a rebuild

imo Kawhi’s jersey should never be retired, maybe a statue of the shot or something but regardless of the chip, a rental who had no an ounce of intention to stay in Toronto should not have his jersey retired at all.

Deebos jersey should be retired. The first star player to actually say yes to staying here. He was on our 20-30 win team almost a decade ago. And he was on the almost 60 win team before we traded him. Dude has been through it all and we watched him grow in front of our eyes

Teams have players who they wanna get out there in summer league. Organizations wanna get on with their free agency. they aren’t gonna wait for the Lakers cause those idiots are still trying to wait for Kawhi.

Everyone is moving. Everyone’s on new teams. This shit looks like a nba 2k fantasy draft.

I’ve never seen so many stars moved at once

Us vs LA in the Finals next year if Kawhi comes back

wtf is Micheal Jordan doing.

Damn, the team that was closest to beating us is falling apart.

There’s not much you can do with only Ben Simmons and Embiid on the team
