A moment that many people foretold is upon us. Kawhi Leonard has opted to leave the Toronto Raptors in free agency and is embarking on a new journey in Los Angeles.
Sure, you’re probably hurting right now. That’s completely understandable. The Raptors have just lost the best player to ever step foot on a basketball court in franchise history.
No hyperbole. Kawhi was a different animal for the Raptors, carrying the team to their first-ever NBA championship. It’s over now, and that’s okay.
If the Raptors decide to call time on this chapter of their history, it doesn’t come out of the blue.
