I will never hold a grudge with Kawhi because of what he did with Toronto. But part of me was hoping that should stay for at least one season. Look at Brandon Ingram right now, ever since he went to Toronto he has been hoopin.

I agree with most of Stephen a points except clippers gathered an old team and chris isn’t producing man . He brings leadership but still

I’l bet CP3 reminded the team of who the GOAT Clip was on the CURRENT roster… and Ty Lue had to step in and prevent his team from being “stepped-over”.
