Just like Demar's #10 and Kyle's #7, Pascal's #43 will never go out of style in Toronto

[@marzatplay]

Miss you. Sign back and never leave again. ❤

[@eeriekekashi419]

Not for the 200 million dollar contract haha

[@di_from_north4460]

This made me cry..... But I know your journey continues...and we'll continue to watch you, to follow you, and to cheer for you! Miss you Pascal.😍🥰

[@jimtib8206]

Love you P. You gotta home in toronto forever ❤

[@reck0n3r]

Good luck Pascal. We'll always welcome you back with open arms. Thank you for everything and congrats on your success. You're an inspiration to many.

one of the GROATs... miss you.

Canada and basketball have a special bond. It's different playing for a country.

[@FrancisSiuChock]

P, you will always be Raptor to me, forever. Thank you for everything you gave to our team and City! I know your Dad is looking down at you from Heaven above and is beaming with pride as to the person you are. Thanks again and I wish you nothing but great success and good health in your future!

💯🥲

[@NYCNibbles]

I could never get on board with cheering for the Heat or Clippers when they picked up pieces from the Raptors, but I'll be cheering for the Pacers and hoping for a nice, long run.

[@louissehighlights6783]

Same here

[@The_Zilli]

Not bad at all indeed. Go make us proud Pascal.

[@rykehen]

My fave player SP! You can’t win everyone, but there’s a lot of people love you Pascal. Just focus on things you want to achieve and stay happy. I wish you great success and stay focus on your dreams. Wishing you blessings!

PASCAL belongs with the RAPTORS WE LOVE YOU SPICY P ❤❤❤❤

I thot ge would stay a raptor forever we brought him up 😢 but its all love

[@IceManLikeGervin]

Some things are bigger than winning basketball games... Pascal should have played his entire career in Toronto. He was deeply embedded in the community. This was a bad trade given that Pascal wanted to stay and all Toronto received for him after it was said and done is Olynyk, Brown, Nwora, Agbaiji, 2024 Ind FRP, 2026 Ind FRP.

[@feelsgoodman420]

He should've taken a discount then. His numbers weren't getting toronto enough wins to be competitve

[@IceManLikeGervin]

@@feelsgoodman420 He should be paid what he has earned to be paid under the NBA's CBA. Raptors are worth 4.1 billion dollars (9th most in the NBA). How competitive is Toronto without him?

[@feelsgoodman420]

@@IceManLikeGervin slightly less competitve but the difference isn't drastic enough to toss him a max. toronto have nothing to lose at this point making scottie the #1 guy. fred and siakam had their chance(s)

[@fivkups3106]

@@feelsgoodman420 "slightly less competitive" yeah raptors look great without him

[@feelsgoodman420]

@@fivkups3106 they aren't making the play in with or without him so whats the fuss about ?

It'a still a Toronto thing. PS43
