After seven seasons with the Spurs, two Defensive Player of the Year awards, a championship, and a Finals MVP, Kawhi Leonard has moved on. After a controversial season in which he butted heads with the Spurs’ front office, Leonard is now a member of the Toronto Raptors.
When healthy, Leonard is one of the best two-way players in all of basketball. His ability to control a game on both ends of the floor is only matched by a select few individuals in the league. On paper, the Raptors should be thrilled to acquire a player of his caliber.
Unfortunately for them, there have been questions about his commitment to the Raptors’ organization. Leonard has expressed a desire to play in his hometown of Los Angeles and is a free agent after this upcoming season.
Can Kawhi be truly focused on the Raptors this year, seemingly with one foot out of the door? Could be possibly be convinced to stay, like Paul George was in Oklahoma City? Here are three things we think will happen with Kawhi Leonard this season.
