On Wednesday some of the city was briefly turned into a lovestruck 13-year-old. A little more than two weeks after the Toronto Raptors championship parade, Kawhi Leonard was back in town to meet with the team as part of his Waiting For Godot approach to free agency. And the city went a little nuts.
It was a measure of the joy and pride and at-times embarrassing fever that has boiled over here after Toronto won the NBA title three weeks ago. Kawhi, of course, is a free agent. He is deciding between the Raptors, the Los Angeles Clippers and perhaps even the Los Angeles Lakers.
