What’s next for Kawhi?
We can’t forget about the Toronto Raptors and Kawhi Leonard. After their hot start, we haven’t heard much about Kawhi and the Raptors for much of the year. They’ve continued to win and are sitting in the second seed of the East, but have, for the most part, been largely an afterthought.
If Kawhi is going to re-sign with Toronto, you’d have to think that they have to make a deep run in the East, and at the very least make an appearance in the Conference Finals. However, with how deep the East is, that’s not really a forgone conclusion – no matter how good the Raptors have looked so far this season.
There’s no question that, when healthy, this team is one of the two two or three teams in the East – potentially the NBA. But no matter what their record is, I can only assume that Kawhi’s upcoming free agency decision will largely come down to how this team looks in April and May, perhaps even June.
What’s the next for Kawhi Leonard, who will be the second most sought-after free agent in the summer? While his story has been on pause for the past few months, we’re going to find out more in the coming weeks.
