According to Tim Daniels of Bleacher Report, “The Clippers have started to make alternative offseason plans after watching Kawhi Leonard lead the Toronto Raptors within one win of the 2019 NBA championship.” Leonard is one of the NBA’s hottest free agents this summer, and according to most polls and predictions, the LA Clippers are the front-runner to sign the superstar small forward.
However, as the Raptors have advanced further in the playoffs, the possibility of Leonard signing back with the team has gotten bigger. The simple mindset behind this idea is that NBA players want to be on winning teams, so why not stay with a team that is one win away from winning the NBA title?
