Many Toronto Raptors fans probably woke up in a bad mood this morning after finding out that Kawhi Leonard had taken his talents to the Los Angeles Clippers. And this latest news probably won’t help cheer them up one bit.
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Thunder were willing to send the Toronto Raptors a package that included BOTH Russell Westbrook and Paul George, but they wanted the Raptors to include Pascal Siakam in the deal. Toronto wasn’t willing to part ways with the rising star, so the deal fell through.

Masai Ujiri is going to have some serious explaining to do.
