will Kawhi Leonard Staying in Toronto?
In the aftermath of the Kawhi Leonard saga, the future of the former Finals MVP is now north of the border in Toronto. At first glance, Leonard’s time in Toronto is seen as short-lived. To add, most of the rumors have pointed Leonard to Los Angeles in 2019. That rumor has the Lakers as the favorites – with the Clippers lagging behind.
But, can kawhi shock the world like Paul George an act? Based on Jabari Young of the San Antonio Express News He told Chris Mannix on his podcast, like Transcribed by NBC’s Dan Feldman– It might be possible.
“Based on my conversation with the people within his circle, they’d go into this thing with an open mind and give this thing every last chance to work. And at the end of the day, if that’s the case, it’d be great if it stayed. Obviously, I think part of his mind is, yeah, let’s have fun.” Truth be told: I think he still feels like L.A. might be the destination. At the same time, he plans to go into this thing with an open mind, giving it every single shot in the world to make it work.”
In the current culture of the NBA, we should expect anything. Ironically, today is its first anniversary Kyrie IrvingTrade to the Boston Celtics.
Simply brushing off the prospect of re-signing Kawhi Leonard would be foolish – given he has yet to play a game in Toronto. The Raptors have a legitimate chance at winning east with Leonard and LeBron heading west and changing the culture. If they make it to the finals, will Leonard want to give that up? It’s hard to tell, but it’s even harder to miss.
