Twitter Is Breaking Down the Important Angles of the Kawhi Leonard-DeMar DeRozan Blockbuster Deal

Who won the Kawhi Leonard-DeMar DeRozan trade? Twitter. Because the jokes just kept coming.

The NBA world woke up to some shocking news Wednesday as the Spurs agreed to a deal to trade Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green to the Raptors for DeMar DeRozan, Jakob Poeltl and a 2019 protected first-round pick.

In the eyes of a lot of people, it wasn't the best trade San Antonio could have made to move the disgruntled two-time Defensive Player of the Year. Many also saw the trade as a disloyal move by Toronto, who also fired coach Dwane Casey this offseason after he led the team to a franchise-record 59-win season, which led to him winning Coach of the Year.

However it was people viewed the trade however, there was plenty to discuss, and everybody had something to say about the matter.

Mad respect for @DeMar_DeRozan
a classy player who has given his heart to a franchise.
One of the most Loyal player I know.
Giving you away for nothing..@Raptors

Raptors to DeRozan early this summer: "We don't see any reason why we would trade you."

Raptors after trading DeRozan: "What we meant to say was, we don't see any reason why we wouldn't trade you."

I’m hurt bro. I’m hurt. My dog gave that city and organization his heart and soul. He was loyal to the soil and got stabbed in the back.

Raptors finally got their Bron stopper. I'll be surprised if Bron scores a single point on Kawhi next postseason.

Leonard has one year left on his deal before he can opt out and become a free agent. Green is on the last year of his deal, and DeRozan has two years left on his deal before he can opt out to enter free agency.
