A thought struck me about the Kawhi deal. I've seen a lot of comparisons to the Vince trade, when Mourning refused to report. I think those comparisons are spot on - and at the same time, completely wrong.
Every parallel I've seen drawn is a fear of the Mourning situation repeating itself. You trade a star who "is the Raptors" for an uncertain return, and a big name who doesn't want to be here. There is a fear of history repeating itself.
