- The Raptors face a significant chance of buyer's remorse over Kawhi Leonard because of his durability and contract.
Asked which superstar move is most seamless or carries the least risk of buyer's remorse; Kawhi to Toronto was called the most seamless fit, but with doubts about his durability.
“But I do think there's a significant chance for buyer's remorse.”

In context
And for the final question, we're going to try to keep it around the superstars here. So let's call on Joshua Byrne Santos.
All right. No, I'll just read out his question here because it really is interesting. Because with so many all -stars changing zip codes this summer, Giannis to the Heat, LeBron to the Sixers, and Kawhi to the Raptors, which superstar transition do you feel would be the most seamless or at least have the smallest risk of buyer's remorse?
Good one. So those are two different questions to me. because the most seamless is Kawhi going back to Toronto. There's no question how he fits there.
WindhorstBut I do think there's a significant chance for buyer's remorse. Because of the contract or because of the trade? Just because you – a little bit because of the contract. You hate that contract. I don't hate it. I do think they paid too much. But more so, like, you don't – is he going to play 30 games a year?
Is he going to play 60 games a year?
WindhorstYou know, so his durability leads to Byers and Morse, or could lead to Byers and Morse, but I do think that's the most seamless of the transitions. That's what you sense. We now know they traded a guy with a torn Achilles. Right, and I think Bam and Giannis are going to need time to kind of figure out that fit with the spacing, although they did a nice job of bringing in shooters like Hardaway, by the way, who the Nuggets
will miss.
