NBA Will Kawhi Leonard re-sign with the Toronto Raptors?

He's a legend in all of Canada forever regardless of what happens. They won. His game 7 bucket is going to be replayed forever. No one is turning on Kawhi in this country... ever.
He'll re-sign a 1+1 or 2+1 tops and then bounce for California in 2021 at the latest.

Yup. Clearly the Bucks are very beatable, Sixers are nothing to worry about and the Celt's are a complete mess. They have a clear path.

Here's the thing I don't get, if he intends on staying, why the hell is taking meetings with other teams? It's not like he can have them bid against each other for a higher pay day so what gives?

He probably wants to at least see what other teams have to offer. This is the first time he's able to test the market so I dont blame him. There's nothing wrong in exploring all of your options even if you are leaning towards a certain way.

Someone once told me to never turn down a (job) interview. He wants to see what they can offer aside from $$$, which we know doesnt really motivate him. Wants to hear their load management plan, how they will build the team etc.

Listening to Masai end of season press conference today Some insights . Talks confident of getting the same roster to defend championship
Raptors got the right man for the job
If only our GM could draft ,develop and trade like Urjiri

are the clippers going to make their employees wear t-shirts with kawhi's photo next to albert einstein, lincoln, jfk, and gandhi like they did when they were trying to re-sign griffin?

Retire his jersey number too (even tho in his case he's never played a game for them)

The Heat will also retire the jersey of the ref that swallowed the whistle when Ray Allen stepped out of bounds before hitting that game-tying 3 in game 6.

Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic but Milwaukee and Phili are the only other teams with any chance in the East unless something drastic happens. GS won’t be the same if Klay leaves so if Kawhi comes back, they can definitely repeat or have a decent shot.

Would be some pretty good trolling if he did leave lol. Raps also get the last FA meeting, so either he signing then or saying goodbye..

Allegedly tied to this offer.
This island just offered Kawhi Leonard a free vacation if he re-signs with the Raptors - Travelweek
Free agency is fun.

Offering someone a free vacation who is set to make 50+ million a year in salary and endorsements seems like a reasonable thing to do

With all the begging the Raptors "community" is doing, it sure seems like they themselves don't believe he wants to be in Toronto.

Because they know they have no plan B. Toronto is not a FA destination in the NBA. They only get superstars through drafts and trades.
EDIT: Doesn't mean the Raptors will suddenly start losing if they lose Kawhi. Ujiri knows what he's doing.

No reigning Finals MVP has ever left his team the very next season, if Kawhi wants to continue making history and move on that’s his right, Toronto has been a championship starved city since the early 90’s nobody should be angry at his his decision after what he did here.
We can all admit how hard it is to win a chip in the NBA. Just look at many teams in this league that hasn’t been able to reach the promised land in a long time, you see the Kings and Hawks waiting since the 1950’s, the Knicks waiting since the early 70’s many others who’ve been around for half a century and never even having any titles.
Moral is it’s tough to win and Raptors fans shouldn’t forget to enjoy what this moment is and how rare it is. Stay or go the Raptors have already won.

Heard on TSN 1200 earlier today that Lebron, AD and MAGIC will be at Kawhi's meeting with the Lakers next week.

Anthony Davis won't be allowed either because he is still Pelicans' property until July 6.
