There has been plenty written on the Kawhi Leonard trade. Most of the ink has gone towards the reaction DeMar DeRozan had to the trade, and the mixed emotions of many Raptors fans in losing a loyal All-Star for a player the team may have for only one year (if that, to hear some tell it).
One aspect of the trade that seems to be glossed over, accepted as fact and yet underplayed for its value, is that the Raptors got a lot better. Not a little better, not moderately better.
The Raptors got way, way better.
