Kawhi isn't bad for the RAPTORS ......... they're in the EAST Finals & it's still on-serve for chrissakes.
Kawhi is a 2-way superstar. Getting him for a possible 1-year rental is a gamble that many other teams would make ............ the same gamble that OKC did with PG13, the same gamble that a team might take with AD this offseason.
You grab any chance to get a superstar - especially a 2-way player and one in or approaching his prime.
For the RAPTORS, it's clear though, that Siakam & Gasol (and Vanvleet) has been playing subpar so far, and they're really missing Anunoby (dunno when he comes back from injury).
One gamble that Nick Nurse might want to try - have Gasol come off the bench, put Ibaka back as starter.
