Kawhi Not?

 Back to the 2026 Lot, and we get more Mosaic basketball, but solid on the Raptor representation!

We get Powell above, but at this point, former, Kawhi below was a big deal at the time this set was originally released.

After winning the championship in Toronto, Kawhi quickly turned and left the city. I think that at the time, fans in the city were a bit bitter on the abrupt change. Yes, it was a blow softened by the championship win, but many were hoping it could be turned into a couple, or more, it just wasn't to be.

Toronto did well with Kawhi gone right after the championship win, but couldn't quite keep the steam and the team fell apart a bit after 2020-21, well for a couple years anyway.

As for these cards, most are ones that have come up before but a handful are "new", so still looking to maybe complete the set save for the rookies - but time will tell.
