Trying to stay fresh for LA this summer.
Lol. Raptors won fewer games this year than last despite obviously more talent AND a much easier conference.
Kawhi is simply NOT a max player anymore based on his usage rate alone. Throw in that he doesn't make his teammates better as the primary option and it all adds up to addition by subtraction. Good riddance.

It will be very interesting to see if Kawhi would sit out a Game 4 in a series if Toronto was up or down 3-0. That would cement his status as the most selfish player of all-time.
If you can't read context...
Last season Lowry missed just 4 games, this season 20. Last season Fred VV missed 6 games this season 20 too.
Easy conference? Who knows but Raptors have the best record vs the West.
The Bucks have the second best record behind Toronto vs. the West

Kawhi is averaging career high in pts and rbs. 27ppg 7.4rpg in .50% .37 3P% .86 FT%...4.5 apg in his last 4 games.Kawhi is simply NOT a max player anymore based on his usage rate alone.

Clutch
And a beast...For people here talking about his passing skills just look his pass to Lowry cut in this vid
I laugh so hard at the fans here saying he's not a max player...
Their coach, Nick Nurse, is re ed. We criticize Pop, but their coach is... far far worse. He's the Bryn Forbes of coaching.
True. There is a reason why the guy coaching the team with 2nd best record in the league isn't getting any COY consideration.
your context if you're going to gloss over the theme
Lol. I see how you skipped over the key part. So what if Lowry or Fred ing Van Vleet missed 16 more games this season. Lol. Holy . Paskal Siakam is exponentially more better this year. Plus they picked up Danny Green who is shooting his ass off this year. To the point many Raptor fans say he was the steal of the trade.
So their starting five is BETTER at three of the five positions, at worst. They clearly have far more talent this year. In a weaker Eastern conference. , even your point about Kawhi's improved stats proves my point. He's playing better than ever on the offensive end....and YET they have roughly equal win percentages with and without him on the floor this season.
Why? To the point you glossed over....HE DOESN'T MAKE HIS TEAMS BETTER AS THE PRIMARY OPTION. AND HE IS NOT WORTH A MAX CONTRACT GIVEN THAT AND HIS USAGE RATE.
Now you're welcome to pull some more stats that prove my point. Thanks for playing. ing Kawhi jock sniffers are sooo pathetic.

I don't like his new hairdo. Let's talk about that.
I bet you the GM that gives him that max this offseason is fired within 4 seasons of the signing because of what it does to the team putting that much into a non impact player. Read: His usage rate simply does not justify it. And his lack of reliable team ball contribution underscores his deficiency. As the primary option now, he rarely gets double doubles. He iso balls and stagnates an offense too many times. You tell me what you want to lay down on it.
Jeremy Lamb.
Please come back this summer Kawhi!
He hasn't played a full season in 8 seasons and couldn't break 60 this season. no, that's not worth max money. I laugh hard at your defense of that got.
His hair always looked dorky. He should try doing it up in a lonnie.
He's going to get at least a Max offer from Toronto. Maybe LAC.
If I'm Toronto, I do it, but I'd be very nervous if he signed.
I wonder if there is any slow simmering resentment building on the other members of the Raps? They play hard in all the games and don't load manage, they play very well together when KL refuses to play and win, yet KL gets the lions share of the credit and publicity. You would think a few of the Raps are getting tired of his bull .
Lowry, undoubtedly.
Yes he will. And that GM will be gone by the end of Kawhi's contract.
I'm just surprised YG is back in here defending #2 but I guess the old saying once a cuck always a cuck rings true.
Toronto will offer him the max to keep him. Who knows if he stays or not. But if he does he can basically rest as much as he wants moving forward since he has been doing all of this year. I know Toronto would never put any stipulation into has contract about how many games he needs to play to get his full salary.
Now if he goes to the Clippers I am wondering if West will allow him to rest or put a clause in his contract. I know Embid has some game clause in his contract he signed last year because of all his injuries.

Holy I didn't realize it but yeah. He's oblitterating his career percentages. 45-46% on 5.5 attempts a game is damn good. And EFG% of 62% is career best for him, in his 10th year in the league. What a comeback from last year, where he shot basically league average 36% and EFG was under 50%. And starting every game it looks like. We gave away a huge championship piece for nothing!
No sherlock. The only real question is how long will it take for Uncle Dennis to convince him to take the big market fame so his family can accomplish all their media goals in Hollywood/NYC
The real question? Who cares what Uncle Dennis tells him to do, he isn't the most intelligent person around. He will give him bad advice like usual. Wherever he goes he will make a ton of money, albeit a lot less because of his Uncle but it is what it is. Whenever he retires he will have made between $200-300 million dollars playing basketball I don't think he cares too much.
It should take about 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
Don't want to play Devil's advocate but seriously,can you blame him for going to LA if he does?
What's so attractive in Toronto that #2 would want to stay there? Their 33 year old second option? Their 34 year old third option? Their worthless coach? The lovely snow in Canada? Career wise? The weak East? Wait till KD goes East this summer and till the Bucks establish themselves as a legit contender and no more weak East.
Anyways,after he made the move and left the Spurs,we don't really give a where he goes but obviously,if we're talking basketball,the Clippers are a way better destination than the Raptors,big market and family goals aside.
He is playing in the East off course he and Danny should have bettter stats just look at Lebrun
