They were traded for one another in the offseason. Essentially a near 1:1 trade the Raptors and Spurs agreed on. How come Kawhi was booed while DeRozan was cheered? I mean Kawhi brought home a title while DeRozan kept choking in the playoffs. Why does he get cheered for this but Kawhi got all the hate?

DeMar is one of the most beloved athletes to play for the Raps org. Top 3 probably. It hurt for everyone to see him go. When Chris Bosh left for Miami, DeMar publicly stated at 19 that it was his team and he's got us.

He worked obsessively on his craft and got better every year because he cared so much. He was a consummate professional and an amazing contributor to the community.

We're the second most successful team in the 2010s for the two reasons and its DeMar and Kyle. They made us relevant and will get statues here one day and their jerseys in the rafters.

Calm yourself. Without Kawhi yall would be known as an 2nd round exit team that played good only in regular season. Kawhi did in 1 season what Derozan couldnt in 6.

Plus on the championship team Lowey wasnt even the 2nd best player.

Kawhi should get a statue.

I can already tell you're not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I would keep my opinions to myself if I were you. Jesus Christ read a book.
