Over the past five years, the Toronto Raptors have, for the first time, become a truly relevant NBA franchise. They have qualified for the playoffs each of the past five years after making the playoffs just five times in their first 18 seasons. They won one playoff series in their first 20 years of existence, then won four series in the last three years.

But by firing coach Dwane Casey in May after being swept by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference semifinals, Raptors President of Basketball Operations Masai Ujiri signaled that just being good or relevant wasn’t an acceptable standard in Toronto.

By trading for Kawhi Leonard early Wednesday, Ujiri reiterated that message — loudly.

I don't think it's a coincidence that greatness happens in two's. I welcomed my first born at 12:30am this morning, then we get this Kawhi deal. It's a magical day I tell ya! (It's a boy) ��

Get the tyke one of these. Congrats.

Aside from the excitement of today:
Man, why us Kawhi such a bitch? I've never heard anybody demand to only play for one friggin team this hard

How does that make him a "bitch"?

Maybe it's his childhood dream to play for the Lakers (or just in LA in general)?

They really traded "arguably" the greatest player in franchise history for a guy that might not even play for the Raptors. Fuck.

You spent all of June yelling about how pussy masai is and how hes never acquired anyone and DeRozan and Lowry will never take us anywhere bla bla bla. Good to see this move hasn't stopped you from yelling at anything that will listen

No problem. If Kawhi sits out then he forfeits his FA rights and we own him indefinitely and trade him to whoever wins the RJ Barrett sweepstakes next off-season.

Relax, stop having a knee jerk reaction to everything. Obviously Masai knew it was going to be a gamble. Now he has until training camp to convince him and the people around him. Let Masai do his thing first then if he fails you can dance over it.

Who has he acquired? Kawhi might not even play for the Raptors dude.

This could go down as an all time bad trade if Kawhi sits the entire season.

#Raptors Two points to consider:
1. Kawhi wants/needs to play well in these 10 months before he'll sign the most important contract of his life;
2. There is a long list of players that didn't want to play in Toronto, but turned 180 degrees after living/playing here.#RTZ
