"I'm told Kawhi Leonard views this as an opportunity to retire in Toronto.” — Shams (h/t @ohnohedidnt24)
English
Seven years after walking away from the franchise he turned into champions, Kawhi Leonard is heading back north 👀
The Kawhi era in Los Angeles will forever be defined by two words: What if?
When he was healthy, he was an absolute cyborg.
He gave the Clippers their first-ever Western Conference Finals berth in 2021, earned four All-NBA nods, and just came off a vintage 2025–26 season where he dropped a career-high 27.9 points per game 🙌
But the championship parade the city was promised never arrived, repeatedly derailed by brutal postseason injury luck.
With LA pivoting to a new era, the front office finally pulled the trigger.
Now, he returns to the place where he is immortalized.
Raptors fans don't need a reminder of what happened in 2019.
They remember the four bounces against Philly.
They remember the absolute destruction of the Bucks and Warriors.
They remember Kawhi averaging 30.5 points per game on one leg to bring Larry O'Brien across the border for the first time in history 🏆
The Fun Guy is back in Canada 🇨🇦

@redrock_bball Joshhhhh, what it do baybeeeeeeee
7 years ago there’s no way you would’ve saw this coming, definitely Raptors didn’t either
English
Kawhi's shocking return to Toronto, what does it mean for the Raptors and fantasy basketball? In this episode:
• Why the Raptors pulled the trigger
• Fantasy impact for Barrett, Barnes & Quickley
English
@snipuh Pat Bev said on the pod with UD and Mike Miller the reason for that is because he works out so hard and trains so hard he goes hard on his body out of all the players he’s played with he said in the weight room and training on the court Kawhi was the most hard working ever
English
@snipuh So many could’ve should’ve would’ve a healthy Kawhi on Spurs, Raps & Clips
2017 if Zaza didn’t injure him
Maybe 3 peat or 4 peat if stayed healthy with raps and kept the squad together with pieces
Then clips 2020 if they didn’t fold , 2021-2025 injuries/uncertainty
English
@Agent0Dark30 Facts def shoulda won it all. Maybe woulda lost to nets but def not bucks Kawhi own Giannis idgaf
English
@NewHouse_NM We’ll see what happens ofc he should and that’s his squad and they’re a dynasty but anything can happen from now until 2030 and can’t rule out all Canadians wanting to go back to their city/country for a last dance to win it all they take pride in it
English
Lol SGA retires a Thunder man
Agent@Agent0Dark30
@Haki987 @william_lou He lowkey hinted there’s a future storyline where Kawhi retires SGA comes back home to fulfil #2 & win more titles for his country that created the sport or just come back home & dominate with Kawhi! Drake is close with both of em!
English
@Kawhidagoat1 I don’t think it’s bout dat Whi is pulling the strings & he’s dictating where he wants to go & maybe going back to the country his son was born will keep him clear from aspiration nothing matches how he was like that one szn in 2019 & he misses it hopefully this isnt a leverage
English
Y’all think the Clips would be willing to accept Fox in a Kawhi trade package if you got 3 of the best 1sts and Carter Bryant??
English
Pablo Torre is a Bobby Webster sleeper agent.
His mission was to expose the aspiration stuff — which he did.
& as a result, Adam Silver quietly mandated the Clippers to send Kawhi back to Toronto. And for Kawhi to extend.
Caitlin Cooper@C2_Cooper
All of this Kawhi stuff is odd for a number of reasons, but if LAC isn't going to extend him (after not trading him at the deadline), & if the NBA isn't going to intervene, why aren't more near-contenders entering the mix -- even if only for a one-year flyer? He was that good.
English
@SIChrisMannix Lowkey 3Peated maybe even 4Peated as absurd as that sounds if they stayed healthy & kept that team together with the CBA apron & add pieces around I don’t see why not thing is Scottie wouldnt be drafted to them but everything happen for a reason that’s why Drake kept tabs lol
English
It's objectively funny that Kawhi Leonard is open, maybe even motivated, to go back to Toronto. What could have been with that team if he had stuck around seven years ago.
English
@Kawhidagoat1 Both Wemby & Kawhi share the same Chinese zodiac Goat and 2027 will be the year of the Goat, someone in his team posted that on his Klawset IG on his bday yesterday, that’d be a goat finals and I hope Raps BTA Spurs same way Knicks did lol
English
Spurs I hope the raptors catch you in the finals man you messed up a beautiful thing😭😭😭😭😭
English
@APH00PS @ekoreen @TheAthletic Raps are the only team he prefers long term he doesn’t care if other teams are contenders and have the money, behind closed doors rn Kawhi seems to have influence like a no trade clause even doe he doesn’t have one, clips are playing ball with him since they don’t wanna pay him
English
@Gap478 @Vision4theBlind It’s disgusting how she died poor girl even her family is ind email and won’t admit it, ask Spielberg what happen!
English
In the 1982 film Poltergeist, there's a poster advertising the 1988 Super Bowl which was played in San Diego, considering the movie was released six years earlier.
Even stranger, actress Heather O'Rourke, who played Carol Anne, tragically died at the age of 12 just hours after Super Bowl XXII in 1988, in the same city, San Diego, where the game was played.
English
@Kawhidagoat1 @Mariolambo23 Clearly they’re listening to Whi as if he has a no trade clause even though he doesn’t Whi, his team and his brand seem to have a say and influence and for some reason he’s told Balmer Frank & the clips don’t even bother talking to anyone else even if they could extend only Raps
English
@Agent0Dark30 @Mariolambo23 Based on this report tho it makes it sound like Kawhi wants financial security rn so I doubt he would even risk playing on an expiring. That’s why I don’t get the clips not exploring the other deals from teams wanting to extend him
English
I understand Kawhi wanting to get the last big deal of his career.
If this is true tho form the clippers side why not just listen to the teams who would give him an extension and hear the offers?? Kawhi obviously wants the max so it makes no sense as to why they wouldn’t be ears
khrisody@khrisody
The Clippers believed all season that once there was clarity on the Aspiration situation, a contract extension with Kawhi Leonard would be a formality. The expectation was that Kawhi would not only sign an extension but also take a pay cut, with the Clippers promising to use that financial flexibility to build a legitimate contender around him. Over the last two weeks, though, something changed. Kawhi's camp became much more vocal, going from discussing a team-friendly extension to pushing for a larger deal, eventually requesting a max contract. Throughout the process, the Clippers have remained consistent in their stance, telling Kawhi that the new CBA restrictions make it impossible to build a true contender around him without some level of financial sacrifice. As Kawhi's side became firmer in wanting more guaranteed money, it naturally led to speculation about what caused the shift. Over the last few days, there have also been questions about Kawhi's health and whether concerns about his long-term future have made financial security a bigger priority than winning.
