Previously presumed San Antonio Lifer Kawhi Leonard, Los Angeles native, "Lakers" wannabe and "Lakers" willabee, was traded by the "Spurs" this morning to L.A. North, Toronto.

The "Spurs" knew that, the "Spurs" would rather have stuck needles in their eyes than trade Leonard, who really fucked over the "Spurs" organization and reputation last year, to L.A., the "Spurs" knew that Toronto had joined Utah as the most threatened trade destination for disgruntled players, and so they sent him to freeze...

-Ave. Toronto highs ditto: 48, 37, 31, 32, 42, 54, 67, 76. Which is nice only if you are a native of Barnesboro, Pennsylvania and I hope you are not.

This was the mother of all distressed sales yet the "Raptors" gave away a pretty good haul, the jewel in which is all-star DeMar DeRozen, "Mr. Toronto" (!). Torontonians are justifiably proud of their exquisite city but in convincing themselves that they can, maybe, pretty please, convince Kawhi Leonard to reside permanently right next to Buffalo, New York, they are on drugs, viz:
