Sixth man of the Year Award Winner, Lou Williams, plays for the Los Angeles Clippers, who are one of the teams in mix for Kawhi Leonard’s services.
In a recent appearance on Gilbert Arenas’ podcast, Williams had a lot to say about what it’s like to play in Canada as an American, and just exactly why the Raptors have trouble keeping big-name talent.
“The problem they’re gonna have is keeping guys there. Once you’re there, you’ll love playing for the Raptors, you’ll love playing for the country, ’cause it’s [basically] the whole country. The that fourth, fifth month of the season you’re like goddamn, I wanna go home. When you play in Toronto, you feel like you’re playing overseas. It feels like it. You can’t wait to go on the road sometimes, just to be in America. It’s little things you don’t think of like the channels on your TV, your phone bill, you have to get like a Canadian bank account. Things you don’t really think about. And then you have kids and you’re raising your kids out in Canada. Once you’re there, you’re like ‘oh, this is dope’ — but the hard thing is keeping guys.”

Of course it’s not home playing for the Raptors, but at the same time, it’s also not that far away.
Is Lou Will tampering with this comment?
I’m sure the league is already looking into it.
