Kawhi Leonard's Raptors legacy pulls him back
Kawhi Leonard reportedly chose to rejoin the Toronto Raptors as a legacy move, turning down interest from other teams such as Detroit and Minnesota. He was traded from the Clippers to Toronto in a package that included Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, two unprotected first-round picks, one first-round pick swap, and two second-round picks, after an NBA investigation led to fines for Leonard and Clippers owner Steve Ballmer and penalties for the Clippers. Leonard had previously led the Raptors to their first NBA title in 2019, and this move marks a return to a franchise-building on that legacy.
