He HAS to play or basically ruins his entire career and costs himself a fortune. If he does sit out/fake injury or whatever the case, it just jump starts our rebuild for us. Which basically had to happen anyway seeing what our ceiling was in the playoffs with a Lowry/Derozan core. Shedding Derozan's salary now is a great move. Imagine him playing the next 4 years of early exits in the playoffs, then us having to turn around and offer him another massive contract. Masai had to roll the dice, mediocrity is not an option for this guy.

After the season ended i said that it's time for Masai to make some changes. I was aboard trading for Kawhi even for a rental. I even said that i would trade the ENTIRE roster for Kawhi Leonard or Klay Thompson.
But then Chris Haynes just a couple of housr ago tweeted that Kawhi has no desire to play in Toronto. That's a problem.

If he plays then this is a great trade for the Raptors even if he's only a rental. My ONLY issue was trading for a guy that might sit out the rest of the year.Mamba Mentality
