I think it is pretty clear that Kawhi is either signing with Clippers OR signing a short deal with Raptors.
He was offered a free penthouse but according to Larry Brown Sports he has bought his own property in the NORTH.
Michael Landsberg of TSN 1050 in Toronto said Monday that he has been told by multiple sources that Leonard purchased property in Toronto. While pro athletes have real estate all over for investment purposes, Leonard buying property in Toronto seems more significant than if he bought some place like, say, Miami.
Landsberg also had David Thorpe of TrueHoops.com on his show as a guest, and Thorpe said he has gotten the impression from talking to people that Leonard could re-sign with the Raptors for at least another year or two. The most likely scenario would probably be a two-year deal with an opt-out after the first year, similar to the contracts LeBron James signed when he was still with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Thorpe said one consideration for Leonard is that the Raptors are already “his team,” whereas he would be hesitant to team up with another superstar and not be the No. 1 guy.
It makes sense.
