In less than a week, the LA Clippers brass will sit down with Kawhi Leonard and try to sell him on joining the franchise. This will be no easy task.
The Clippers were seen as front runners to land Leonard for most of the season, but his time in Toronto went about as poorly as our front office could have wanted. Leonard was given ample time off for load management to make sure he stayed healthy all season. He was embraced completely by both teammates and fans and in the end, won Finals MVP as he led the Raptors to their first NBA title.
