A little perspective from the front page:
Kawhi got his 14th double-double of the season against the Thunder on Wednesday. He is averaging 27.0 points per contest, ranking him eighth in the league in scoring (I wouldn't have guessed that). He has topped the 30-point threshold 21 times this year and has led the Raptors in scoring 43 times this season (majority of the games he's played), the most ever by a player in his first season with the Raptors, which I guess is not a surprise

Yes Paul.
Personally I don't think PG would have resigned here. What kept him I believe mostly was Russ. Russ is a bigger star, and PG was looking for that. He didn't want to be the face of a franchise, and he wanted help.
Kawhi, I don't think he wants to pair up with another star. I mean, Siakam organically becoming a star is great, but he think he really likes the idea of having the keys around here.9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

Ironic is that George was nearly a Raptor, had the Thunder said yes. How would THAT have changed this entire tweet lol

I don't know how "near" PG was to being a Raptor. The report was that Masai "tried" to offer DeRozan to the Pacers for PG. Keep in mind that the Pacers have seen DeMar up close in the playoffs at his worst (humiliated by PG, ironically), so I'd imagine Indy hung up the phone pretty quick, especially with DeMar locked into a max contract.

Dipo was pretty awful too though.. especially as Russ' second fiddle. They wanted a young guy with potential that was locked up (small market teams do that). Being able to trade George to the West I'm sure trumped Masai's offer. But I don't think it was DeMar's playoff performance that soured them on that deal. Dipo's was worse lol.9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

Underrated part of the deal is Sabonis, who is improving each season and is now at 14 and 9 (20 and 13 per 36), very JV like, at 22 years old. Dipo for George is one thing, Dipo AND Sabonis? It's easy to see why both the Thunder and Pacers are very content.

The plateauing comment was a bit worrisome. Could be some kind of chronic condition that will linger the rest of his career, which could also mean we may never see 2014 level Kawhi again.
The whole thing is a validation of the Raptor handling of his health and also another shot over the bow of the Spurs
