Is kawhis single year for the raptors the greatest mercenary year in the history of the nba? Possibly even north American sports. I can’t think of another example of one player doing more for a team in one single season.

      Ibaka and Gasol were in their last useful years though

        that same squad without Kawhi was 1 basketball away from finals a year later

        Maybe not 3, but 2 was a definite possibility

      Nah.

      We don’t win the chip without Kawhi. Kawhi could have joined 4 other teams and gotten the chip.
