[@benjaminrefuerzo6995]

I am Kawhi Fan... Toronto gave him what he wants, let him do what he wants. He leads the team to become Relentless & Focus on every single game. I wish he take the deal with the Raptors even for 2 years. I want to see Lebron shakes his head every time he enters the court! 🤫😊

[@HezireJ]

Benjamin Refuerzo I’m a real kawhi fan, he shouldn’t go back to the raptors, he always wanted to be in L.A and the raps where just a stop. He has a legacy to build and if he wants to be legendary staying with the raptors ain’t it budd. He will be on the clippers next season

[@tyleryoung306]

@@HezireJ I'd argue the opposite man. Him staying with the raptors would expand basketball internationally. His new balance branded shoes are selling out in under 10 minutes here. Raps are the fourth biggest market, and their market value is growing year over year faster than any other team.

[@silkeotd7194]

@@HezireJ He can build greater legacy as a Raptor than for any other team... Raptors are loved not only by the whole of Canada but they have fans around the world who flew in for the games! Also Masai Ujiri plans to start expanding globally and how huge a legacy would that be if Kawhi is part of that???!!! I understand if he goes home because it's home, but his greater legacy potential is in Canada rather than just being one of many superstars in Cali/the U.S.

[@HezireJ]

Silk Eotd I understand how great Canada is. But in order to build his legacy even more he has to go win where he’s from.

[@RascalKyng]

Kawhi's steal on DeRozan, in the last few moments of play against the Spurs to win the game, really demonstrated the justification of the trade, and a hint of a story book irony.

[@chriseleftheriadis9379]

[@0fficialRatedR]

How is Giannis humble? Have you seen him on court? Game 4 vs raptors he got a dunk early and kept yelling "FUCK YEA!" and proceeded to lose the game. I don't see Giannis ever winning a ring. He doesn't have the mental strength and will Kawhi does. He definitely doesn't have the maturity.

[@Southtxboi11]

Getting to watch him play over 20 times in San Antonio I knew he was a stand up guy and I have always respected him and it's amazing to see him push that team to a championship. What ever he does will be the right decision he deserves to be happy and just play the game of basketball. 🖐

[@dannygibson2597]

He's going to resign with the Raptors. I don't know if it will be a one year deal or long-term, but I would be shocked if he leaves. The main reason (other than winning a title) is I think he appreciates how the organization caters to his every need and allows "load management." If he goes to a different team, he's risking them not being as understanding as the Raptors when it comes to his nagging injuries and everything else. He has total control of the franchise and COUNTRY, that's a tough thing to walk away from.

[@HezireJ]

Danny Gibson nah, at this point and what he has proven with load management no team is gonna question what he does. He’s not staying with raptors my guy and that’s coming from a die hard kawhi fan

[@jadeimingan184]

Kawhi, as a fan of Raptors because of Mcgrady, Vince and Derozan.

[@silkeotd7194]

You know why I think we Canadians identify with him so well? He was discounted, disrespected, COUNTED OUT, dismissed and disbelieved by a lot of 'big whigs' in the U.S.... something I think a lot of us can relate to since Toronto (and Canada in general) has received similar treatment through the years from American franchises, big whigs and even fans. So in a lot of ways he fit with the Raptors, the team that has been equally discounted and dismissed and disrespected. But by joining forces, boy did Kawhi and the Raptors turn the tables and make those people look FOOLISH!!!!! :) I hope he stays, he is loved and appreciated and revered here but he will still have our respect even if he does choose to leave.

[@DaWindyCityProductions]

If he stays with Toronto, I can see the Raptors repeating. Unless the Lakers get Kyrie, which they won’t.

[@puirYorick]

He seems like a great fit where he is in T-Dot and they won it all so going to either LA team or to the Knicks to hope for some kind of on-paper super-team to emerge there would be the real gamble imo. The wild card is who's talking in his ear about 'marketing valuation' of his 'personal branding' and that kind of noise. Those are reasons guys want to be in LA, NYC or CHI instead of The North or any hinterland markets. Looking for better shoe deals and Pepsi sponsorships or whatnot.

[@kusnezoff8705]

Kawhi hasn't finished making history in Toronto. He has the potential to make a dynasty if he wants especially with the guy pulling the handle making better trades to develop an ever stronger team than they had this year winning the chip. Kawhi, if you stay you will be a dynasty maker. Now that is your legacy!! if he was on another team they would have pushed him to play and he would have messed up his career KD did. Toronto didn't force him. Toronto respected him when the whole league didn't respect him. that says a lot and if Kawhi knows that then I think it would be his best interest to stay in Toronto where he will be respected and allowed to work his game. That in and of itself shows him who cares for him more than any other team which in and of itself would, I believe, convince him to stay for at least another year if not multiple years and build a dynasty that will show the league and all the haters and doubters that he didn't lie or drag his feet but was truthful which Toronto understood when everyone else put him down. man that should say all that needs to be said.
