Looking back at this as a Raptors fan, they had a great chance of repeating if Kawhi stayed.

[@gdchimp7127]

yeah he would have locked up tatum jimmy and bron

[@LisaJF]

Absolutely. We took Boston to game 7 of second round without Kawhi.

[@alecong1330]

Of course they would, especially considering Kawhi was still in his prime the next year, averaging a career high in PPG with the clipper in his first year there. But I think if they repeated that he would just get pressured to stay and try for a three peat.

[@beansandrice44]

Honestly I think we could have repeated without Kawhi. Pascal was on fire and the whole team was clicking in 2019-20, best defence in the NBA and we had a higher win percentage than we did the year before. Pandemic hit and in the bubble Pascal wasn't the same (same with Gasol). Despite that, we still took Boston to 7 games, and lost because of a few missed rebounds and a few poor shots in the dying seconds. We could have gone on to face Miami - a difficult opponent but still a winnable series. Then play the Lakers - again, a difficult opponent but we definitely could have won the series (we had beaten the Lakers 3 out of 3 times during the season). Honestly losing to Boston in the bubble playoffs still haunts me. I truly think we could have gone back-to-back.

[@181cameron]

@@beansandrice44 Same. The pandemic screwed up a bunch of their chemistry, for sure. That 15 game win streak, the comeback vs the Mavs, the scarves...that whole damn team was clicking like, well, returning champs. Kawhi having left, everyone thought they were done. They were just getting started. I think they could have made the finals, for sure.

Kawhi not staying and defending this title is going to be looked at as one of the worst decisions made by a great player and will lower his standing in all-time great discussions. The Raptors would have at least made the 2020 finals if he stayed.

[@WhineyOne]

Nah, he's a first ballot hall of famer and too beloved. That's like saying when Jordan came out of retirement and played for Washington...not the same Jordan but that did nothing to tarnish his repertoire. Kawhi is solid no matter his decisions since then.

[@WhineyOne]

And if the Clippers win a championship with him, that will further nake a case for one of the best of all time.

[@sabman3321]

@@WhineyOne Not at all the same as Jordan. Kawhi could have been a back-to-back champion and three overall. He chose not to defend his title and play for another team. Jordan never did that. He didn't have to stay long term in Toronto (1 or 2 year deal with option). That would have moved him up in all-time great rankings.

[@sabman3321]

@@WhineyOne Of course if he wins a title with the Clippers, he'll prove he was the difference maker for three championship teams and that will solidify a high all-time great ranking. I just think he would have been even greater had he stayed in Toronto and won back-to-back.
