Chris Broussard

Chris Broussard's "It's a different situation than African Americans are used to being in" take on Toronto drew backlash.

And apparently, the Golden State Warriors are a contender. Supposedly, the Phoenix Suns and Miami Heat are at the top of his wish lift. Those are all legitimate reasons why an athlete might not want to play for the Raptors. But Broussard did not offer up specifics. (And that’s not the first time we’ve seen that with pundits opining on the Raptors.) Maybe some players will be reluctant to leave the US. Maybe some hate cold weather. The man who made the deal for Leonard is Masai Ujiri, the England-born son of Nigerian parents. If Toronto is such a difficult place to be, as Broussard would lead you to believe, why would Ujiri stay? Yes, Kawhi Leonard bolted after leading the Raptors to the title. The question on the show was: “Toronto a good landing spot for KD?” -"The best players they have tend to be the international guys… If Leonard was traded to Chicago, Philadelphia, or even Miami, the result likely would have been the same: him signing as a free agent with the Clippers. When you’re in the television business of giving hot takes, some of your opinions will not be well-thought-out gems.

"It's not America, and you feel it when you're there," FOX's Chris Broussard said about the possibility of Durant playing in Toronto.

Why would the Raptors history from 1995-2013 have anything to do with whether they’d be able to trade for Durant? “It’s a match made in heaven for me. I’ve talked to people in that organization pre-Ujiri about can they keep African American superstars there?” -"The best players they have tend to be the international guys…

He implies that is a reason previous to Masai Ujiri they couldn’t keep free agents and star players. Toronto would therefore be forced to add in other valuable players just to make a legal trade. Toronto’s most intriguing offer would certainly include Scottie Barnes, the 20-year-old reigning Rookie of the Year and one of the most valuable young players in the league.

Toronto also has its full slate of first-round draft picks to offer. Ujiri has taken big risks in the past which include trading for Kawhi Leonard for one season, but it resulted in an NBA Championship. I’ve talked to people in that organization pre-Ujiri about can they keep African American superstars there?”
