Kawhi Leonard

After signing LeBron James in free agency, the Los Angeles Lakers methodically, if imperfectly, assembled a team around him that would allow them to carve out max money next summer. Could it have all been for naught? Conventional wisdom says no. The Lakers are the Lakers. LeBron is LeBron. Surely, together, they’ll attract another star. [...]

Danny Green’s Kawhi Leonard takes are music to Toronto Raptors fans’ ears. It would not be a stretch to say most expect the two-time Defensive Player of the Year to head elsewhere as a free agent next summer. At almost every turn since being acquired from the San Antonio Spurs, though, Green has, oft-inadvertently, preached [...]

Kawhi Leonard appeared at the Toronto Raptors’ Media Day full of awkward laughs, smiles and, relative to his typical demeanor, candor. This is to say, he wouldn’t commit to staying with the Raptors beyond this season, but he also said he’s looking for reasons to remain.

A majority of people seem to believe the Toronto Raptors have an extremely slim chance of keeping Kawhi Leonard beyond this season. Count Danny Green among the exceptions.

Rejoice Toronto Raptors fans, because it seems Kawhi Leonard is approaching his time in Canada with an open mind. Now that doesn’t mean that NBA Sports Books think he will yet.

The Toronto Raptors took a big chance when they acquired disgruntled Spurs star Kawhi Leonard this summer without the promise of him re-signing when his contract expires next summer. They are hoping that the wonders of their fan base and the top-notch city that Toronto is along with a talented and highly competitive team in [...]

Sorry, Toronto Raptors fans. Kawhi Leonard still has his sights set on landing with the Los Angeles Lakers or Los Angeles Clippers in free agency. From ESPN.com’s Adrian Wojnarowski: Before the Toronto Raptors traded with San Antonio for Leonard in July, the Clippers tried to acquire him and plan to be aggressive suitors for Leonard in 2019 [...]

If you didn’t already know that the Clippers dream outcome in the 2019 off-season is to acquire Kawhi Leonard, this story confirms it. The Clippers have employed former San Antonio Spurs defensive deterrent Bruce Bowen for a few years as a TV analyst and he made some disparaging remarks about Leonard and how he handled [...]

Kawhi Leonard has spoken, sort of, for the first time since joining the Toronto Raptors. In a statement that, surprisingly, spanned more than six syllables, the two-time Defensive Player of the Year thanked the San Antonio Spurs and their fans for the seven mostly wonderful years they spent together: [tweet https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1027517878587846657] As a housekeeping note, [...]

At the very least, they were more in than perhaps initially advertised. Speaking with ESPN.com’s Michael C.
