1) Kawhi, if healthy, is probably the 3rd best player in the league, a guy who was single handedly beating Golden State before Zaza horribly broke him. DeRozan is somewhere around 20th. That's a huge difference. 2) Kawhi was never going to sign with Toronto, their best hope was to get him there for a season and hope he falls in love with the atmosphere, city, and being a superstar in Canada. 3) They got out from under DeRozan's contract. Was he truly good enough to be worth what he was being paid?
