Should always have been #7 before #15 went up in the rafters (And frankly Vince didn't deserve it) but a well deserved honor for the greatest Raptor of all time.

[Grange] Per sources, the two sides engaged in elevated discussions over the weekend but seemingly came to an impasse on Sunday as the Clippers were asking for more than the Raptors were willing to give: three first-round picks and some of the Raptors' top young players.

>The deal came together over the past 48 hours. Per sources, the two sides engaged in elevated discussions over the weekend but seemingly came to an impasse on Sunday as the Clippers were asking for more than the Raptors were willing to give: three first-round picks and some of the Raptors' top young players. The Raptors turned away requests for all-NBA rookie Collin Murray-Boyles and breakout second-year wing Ja’Kobe Walter. Even as negotiations picked up on Monday, one league source suggested that the Clippers were trying to extract second-year point guard Jamal Shead. No dice.

>That the player compensation ended up being Ingram, the soon-to-be 29-year-old all-star, and Dick, who fell out of the Raptors rotation and was seeking a change of scenery in any case, explains why the pick compensation was relatively significant.

The Toronto Raptors turned Pascal Siakam, Otto Porter Jr. and Gradey Dick into Kawhi Leonard and Ja'Kobe Walter.

January 17th, 2024: Pascal Siakam is traded for 3 first round picks, Bruce Brown, Kira Lewis Jr and Jordan Nwora. One of these firsts is later rerouted to the Jazz with Otto Porter Jr. for Ochai Agbaji and Kelly Olynyk. Another is used in the 2024 Draft to select Ja'Kobe Walter.

February 6th 2025: Kelly Olynyk and Bruce Brown are traded to the New Orleans Pelicans with the Pacers Top 4 protected 2026 1st for Brandon Ingram who is penned to a 2+1 extension (3rd year is a player option)

Today: Brandon Ingram is traded with Gradey D1ck and two firsts, two seconds and a first-round swap to the Los Angeles Clippers for former Raptors Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard.

What a wild ride the Raptors rebuild around Scottie Barnes has been.

[Haynes] "I think it’s very unlikely that Kawhi Leonard returns to the Los Angeles Clippers. I think it’s a situation where it’ll be hard to put the toothpaste back in the tube."

Lewis - "There is a belief around the league that [Cason] Wallace is open to leaving OKC, and he’s up for a big extension the Thunder might be loath to pay."

>There is a belief around the league that Wallace is open to leaving OKC, and he’s up for a big extension the Thunder might be loath to pay. The young guard would cost multiple first-round picks but be the point-of-attack defender the Nets need.

Zach Lowe: "These talks [about Kawhi] are very real so real that it wouldn’t shock me if he’s traded to the Raptors by the time this podcast has released."

From the latest Zach Lowe podcast.

>These talks [about Kawhi] are very real so real that it wouldn’t shock me if he’s traded to the Raptors by the time this podcast has released.

Kawhi Leonard's birthday is today, by the way. I'm only mentioning that because I know a minimum word count is needed for shorter posts like this where the quote speaks for itself.

[O'Connor] Talk to one person in the know, and they'll tell you the Clippers and Raptors have had serious talks about sending Kawhi Leonard back to Toronto. Talk to another person in the know, and they'll tell you the Toronto noise is less about a reunion & more about leverage in extension talks...

>Talk to one person in the know, and they'll tell you the Clippers and Raptors have had serious talks about sending Kawhi Leonard back to Toronto. Talk to another person in the know, and they'll tell you the Toronto noise is less about a reunion and more about leverage in extension talks with Los Angeles.

>And now there is another team worth watching: Dallas.

>Mavericks president Masai Ujiri has interest in reuniting with Kawhi Leonard, multiple league sources with knowledge of Dallas' thinking told The Athletic.

>The Mavericks and LA Clippers have discussed a deal that would send the seven-time All-Star Leonard to Dallas for a package that would include P.J. Washington, Klay Thompson and draft picks, league sources said.

I read a lot of these recent reports & leaks as posturing from the Clippers. They don't want to extend Kawhi but they don't love the offers for the 35 year old (He will be 35 by the time any deal goes through, don't @ me with him technically being 34) injury-prone wing. If a Mavericks offer of PJ and washed up Klay is the competing offer then the Raptors don't need to add much of anything to beat it.

[Lewenberg] The Raptors' interest in Kawhi was described to me as "real but conditional."

This was mentioned elsewhere in the sub but this trade would hard cap the Raptors unless they either traded Mogbo and TJD or roped them in to a 3-team deal. Either way, the structure remains pretty obvious.

Tonight's Fire/Mystics 4OT is now officially the longest game in WNBA history

This is also first time since June 2016 to go to at least triple overtime when the Wings and Mercury had their own 3X OT epic.

Mystics/Fire is set to end AFTER Sky/Aces which started afterwards.
