Toronto Raptors: Re-sign Kawhi Leonard

The Toronto Raptors have had a great start to the season, and for much of the year have looked like the best and most consistent team in the NBA – and that includes the Warriors. And a big part of that is Kawhi Leonard.

The big goal for the Raptors in 2019 will be re-signing Leonard, who is a free agent after the season. The thing is, even if the Raptors make the NBA Finals (and eventually lose to the Warriors), there’s no guarantee that Kawhi will re-sign.

Kawhi has been long linked to Los Angeles, and Toronto (I’m pretty sure) isn’t that. So unless Kawhi really has a big change of heart, brining him back is no forgone conclusion.
