However to say he is a 'God' when he might leave for another team is taking it too far. He is hugely popular in Canads right now. Yeah. But he leaves for Clippers 5-years or 10-years from now I dont think Raptors fans will think of him as a 'God'. You want that epic status you gotta be with a team for longer than one-year.
Oh my bad. Guess he is getting the respect he deserves then.
Bulls dominated the 90s. Rockets won 2. I dont remember Bulls ever going 73-9 and then signing an MVP player who they just beat in a 7-game series. Or Malone leaving Jazz to play with Patrick Ewing. There was a lot more loyalty back then. Not anymore.

I do think all of the signs to this point have been that he's going to return to Toronto, though, which I'd be happy with for obvious reasons as well.
Just to keep the league interesting and competitive I’m hoping he stays in Toronto.
You think it will help Lebron’s legacy when the potential narrative if Kawhi joins the Lakers is Lebron was the 3rd best player on the team? Not saying he would be but the narrative is there.
Mostly I just don’t want more of what we’ve had after KD joining the Warriors where the season is fun but outcome inevitable. It still would have been this year if not for the injuries. [Reply]
You morons who keep saying the guys in the 80s were loyal and wouldn't change teams is bullshit. Unrestricted free agency didn't start until 1988. The first major superstar wave of free agency came after the 1995-96, which Shaq took off to Los Angeles, Mourning got paid big and Juwan Howard got a monster deal. What those guys say for sound bites is bullshit as well. If they had the chance many of them would have done exactly what the guys of today are doing. Horace Grant left Chicago to ring chase in Orlando, which didn't work but it's same shit that is going on today. [Reply]

SAS is saying there’s a strong possibility that Kawhi goes to LA (take that for what it’s worth).
I don’t see it happening, but if it does...
Is that the strongest Big 3 of all time? 3 top ten players in the league. LeBron or Kawhi can be the best player in the league at any time. It’s definitely up there.
