NBA. San Antonio and Toronto agree to exchange Kawhi Leonard against DeMar DeRozan

The San Antonio Spurs have reached an agreement with the Toronto Raptors for the Kawhi Leonard-DeMar DeRozan exchange according to ESPN. The Toronto also receive Danny Green while the Spurs get Jakob Poeltl and a first-round Draft Draft pick protected in 2019.

It was up-to-date. Announced throughout this transfer period, Kawhi Leonard is expected to finally land at the Toronto Raptors. At the end of an incredible season where the winger, the best defender of the League in 2015 and 2016, refused to return to the group when he was well recovered from his left shoulder injury contracted in early January, Leonard goes see elsewhere. ESPN's reporter Adrian Wojnarowski revealed the information on twitter.

The imbroglio around this injury made him grow uneasy with his teammates to such an extent that the possibility of to see him stay in the Texas franchise seemed very slim. And the words of Tony Parker had put forward the misunderstanding around this non-return to the suspicious competition. "I went through what Kawhi went through. I had eight months of rehabilitation. The same type of injury but mine was a hundred times worse. […] For me, it was obvious to do the operation with the Spurs medical staff. I think we have the best medical team in the world. If these statements may seem trivial they are actually a spade for his teammate.

The rest of the band and even the legendary coach of the franchise Greg Poppovich thought no less and despite its qualities out of the ordinary California winger was no longer desired. It should be noted that many revelations about the nauseating entourage of the player burst, including his uncle, who would have sequestered him not to discuss it with the Texas franchise at the end of the season. [19659005] And if we had thought that Kawhi Leonard would land at the Los Angeles Lakers to join "The King" Lebron James in his mission to bring down the Golden State Warriors, it is not the case.

In any case the news does not seem to delight DeMar DeRozan. The Compton native and long-time friend of James Harden, who published a meaningful instagram story

"One thing is said and the result is quite the opposite. There is no loyalty in this game. We send you elsewhere quickly for a little bit of nothing … "

"Soon you will understand …"

If the information were confirmed and the League validated this exchange, we could actually understand the reaction of the current Toronto player.
