Draymond Green: "I think wishing that the NBA took $50 million from a player is disgusting. I think it's purely disgusting. I like Gallo, I like Gallo a lot actually, but this is, this is disgusting to me. And the reason this is disgusting because number one, I don't, I don't want anyone getting fined. I think that, I think that shit is whack. You can go back and look where I said if this is true, I hope the punishment is they dismantle the CBA, not take $50 million out of Kawhi Leonard's pocket. That's so whack and I can't believe he said that."
Draymond Green: "Kawhi Leonard does not have the power to trade a player. He can request, hey, I want y'all to go out there and get this guy, but he don't have the ability to make that trade. That franchise have to agree, just like they had to agree that they were going to circumvent the cap. He can't make them do that. These are decisions that that franchise made. So in turn, you must have left a big enough impact on that franchise. But to blame another player and say he should have to pay off $50 million back, that shit is whack."
Draymond Green: Galinari is one of those guys who was extremely talented, who would give you fits, but was a little lazy. Uh, one of those guys who was not known as someone who give their all to the game of basketball. Uh, one of those guys who come in with a random back injury. One of those guys who isn't always in tip-top basketball shape because the word around him is he don't really care. To put your career mishaps on Kawhi Leonard coming to the Clippers and then you getting traded..
Omer Osman: DeMar DeRozan on if he thinks his #10 will ever be retired by the Toronto Raptors: “I hope so.” “I was honoured enough to be here, to have a game and to see Vince [Carter], the first jersey to go up.” “I most definitely will be here when Kyle [Lowry’s] jersey go up.” “To be able to see people that I know personally, and now somebody I played with, jersey get retired, it means the most.” “Whatever happens after that, we’ll see.”

Omer Osman: DeMar DeRozan on if he still senses love from the fans whenever he plays in Toronto: “Yeah. This’ll always be home for me. 9 years of my career. This was the foundation of me as a basketball player, as a human being. This was my first home. This was the first everything for me. Nothing will ever replace that. Everything that I created with all these guys that’s here, I had the opportunity to play with. For me, it’s always going to be number one.” ❤️
Omer Osman: Nick Nurse on the Toronto Raptors building bridges with their alumni: “It shows a lot of maturity. The organization’s maturing just as the years go by, and you have these occasions of success to celebrate […] I think it’s great.” “I can tell you just yesterday, I’m sitting in our practice facility, looking at the names up there: Moses [Malone], and Dr. J [Julius Erving]. To me, it’s such a historic thing to be a part of. Now the Raptors get to start telling their little bit of historic stories, too.” “As far as long as I’ve been around, they’ve [Raptors] always done everything first-class and the right way. Now it’s nice to see them be able to celebrate some of the greatness that they’ve had.”
Marley Dickinson: The man of the hour — Kyle Lowry Lowry said he was grateful to have a ton of his former #Raptors teammates here, including DeMar DeRozan whose game is apparently “rough.” He was also asked if DeRozan’s No. 10 should be in the rafters one day. Lowry said…100%
Draymond Green Show: Draymond reacts to Danilo Gallinari's comments on Kawhi Leonard "I think wishing the NBA took $50 million from a player is disgusting... that also wasn't his first time being traded, so for him to sit and act as if Kawhi Leonard ruined his career, that's bulls**t... I think Gallinari would choose Paul George over himself and if you won't, that's crazy, that's ridiculous... Kawhi Leonard does not have the power to trade a player, he can request... but he don't have the ability to make that trade."

Pablo Torre Finds Out: NEW: The DOJ could build a criminal conspiracy case against Steve Ballmer and the Clippers for securities fraud in the Kawhi Leonard scandal, former federal prosecutors tell @PabloTorre. "Even in 2026, a creative theory could map out a road to jail time." And that's before Trump gets involved.
Kawhi Leonard made his intentions clear. “I’m not really championship chasing trying to find the best team I could win (with),” Leonard said on the Raptors’ Open Gym YouTube channel. “I didn’t want to put on a thousand jerseys. The city took a liking to my family, I took a liking to the city. Really enjoyed it. My son was born here and he’s been asking me forever when he’s going to come back.”
