Toronto Raptors have lost Serge Ibaka to the Los Angeles Clippers.

After being a major force in helping the Raptors win the NBA championship, and playing with the team for the last four years, he has signed a 2-year deal worth $19-million with LA.

Ibaka is reunited with former Raptor Kawhi Leonard, who also helped bring the championship to Toronto for the first time in team history.

During his time in Toronto, Ibaka averaged 14.2 points per game, and 7.4 rebounds.

Toronto is still working to keep Marc Gasol, a player the Golden State Warriors is trying to lure.

There is good news though, in that multiple reports indicate Fred Van Vleet is staying another four years in Toronto, receiving $85-million.
