Breaking News: Kawhi Leonard, Danny Green to Raptors for DeMar Derozan, Jakob Poeltl and Protected 1st

Well, that happened quickly.

Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green are headed to the North for DeMar DeRozan, Jakob Poeltl, and a first round pick (protected from 1-20).

This is perplexing on several fronts. Here are my three quick thoughts:

Thought #1 Spurs could have gotten more.

DeRozan is an amazing player but Leonard is on a very short list of two-way impact players (Lebron James, Giannis Antetokunmpo, Anthony Davis) and the Spurs could have definitely gotten more for Leonard and Green.

Flashes of Brilliance Vs Game-Long Consistency: The World Cup Finals

It was the most exciting World Cup Finals match in a looong, loooong time and both teams showed the world why they deserved a chance to bring the Cup home.

That being said, here are three thoughts about that match:

Thought #1 Croatia played a better game.
I have just fallen in love with Croatian football. It's everything I remember Argentinean and Brazilian football to be. The intricate passing, the llightning quick runs, the pinpoint volleys, the intense passion.

In my honest opinion, for about 86 minutes of the game, Croatia played better football than France. I guess that's why there's a lot of angst about Croatia's loss (not just among Croatians), because they were the better team today but the better team did not win today.
