Not sure how that will benefit as they will most likely be low picks?
1. Did ujuri like being told by Leonard who he wanted to play with? Leonard was basically overhauling the Raptors to his liking from the looks of it?
2. Who the hell would want Russell Westbrook and his attitude?
3. Ujuri is positioning himself as a goodwill ambassador, does he want to be known as a ruthless gunslinger who will sell anybody. I think siakom is his pride and joy, and untouchable imo.
OKC was asking for Pascal, FVV, possibly Ibaka and multiple 1st round picks for PG and Westbrook. No confirmation as to whether Kawhi would stay with Raps if we got PG. OKC was just using Raptors as leverage to get squeeze more out of Clippers in trade for PG. OKC knew Clips were desperate to get Kawhi so he wouldn't join Lakers. OKC played a masterful hand.
No way Masai wanted Westbrook's ego.
