Via Mark Zeigler of the San Diego Union-Tribune:
“Here’s what someone who knows Leonard as well as anybody told me privately: ‘He’s going to fall in love with Toronto – it’s going to happen. He’s not going to leave, I’m telling you.’ ”
It’s important to note that Zeigler, a well-respected columnist, covered Leonard in college at San Diego State University. The two have maintained a professional relationship and Leonard has always been fond of him.
Mark Zeigler spoke to someone who is close to Kawhi. Mark has been following Kawhi since his days in college.

Great news, but I agree with ATLTimekeeper. It will become a distraction for sure.

Oh god, if that happens, the one defining feature of the Raptors over the years has been how thin we've been in the wing position. Kawhi's presence on our roster addresses that rather emphatically.
What a time to be alive as a raptors fan.

I doubt he spoke to more than one person for this article.
Thats probably just a quote from her that he wants to blow up.

There will be at least 10 contradictory reports of this nature before January

I think people think that Leonards laid back personality and Toronto feel like a good mix.

100% this was written solely because Kawhi smiled in his one photo with the Raptors. That smile is going in the NBA history books.

"here is someone who know's kawhi as good as anybody.."
I doubt that person is Norman Powell's mother

Get to the finals. Take 2-3 games from Golden State.
Manage the cap so you have a plan to add talent going forward. No one would leave.
Masai needs to make 1 more move this summer to out class the Celtics and the above is very realistic.

This'll be huge for our rep if a true superstar in his prime decides to re-up here.

There needs to be a dedicated sticky thread titled "Will he stay or will he go?" This is going to go on for the next 11 months.

Not just he smile.
Did you noticed his arms?
They were wrapped around Masai and Bobby!
You could even see his fingers curled around their shoulders!!
So yeah...12 months of over analysis coming up.
I think he resigns assuming the Raptors have a successful year.
