The San Antonio Spurs were forced to change the direction of their franchise when Kawhi Leonard demanded a trade after becoming frustrated with the organization.
The Spurs’ organization did very well to get some value back in trading away a superstar, which is difficult to do in today’s NBA.
It looks like the move has worked out for both teams early on this season.
San Antonio is off to a hot start thanks to DeMar DeRozan carrying their offense, and the Raptors currently have the best record in the East after retooling their team around Kawhi.
