Apparently, LeBron has already met with him to discuss him going to the Lakers.
Great run by the Raptors...but everyone knows (or should know) that Leonard is not re-signing in Toronto. One and done.

"There’s no tampering enforcement by players."
Apparently, James has already been talking to a lot of players.
I don't think most stars in the league actually wanna play with Lebron. It's not a selling point...

I think no one knows what Leonard wants to do, and I don't even think Leonard really knows right now. Guys a robot and has the "play basketball" program running right now, once that's done he'll really focus on it.
Out of everyone in the world, I think only 2 people would really know once he's made a decision. His GF/Wife and his uncle. All these reporters saying stuff are just their opinions, not actual facts.

Leonard is too busy trying to win a championship right now to be thinking about free agency. He is literally the most dialed-in human being I've ever witnessed.
I'll say this... if he chooses to leave (which would surprise me after the run we've had), I think most fans in Toronto will have no ill will whatsoever. He made no promises he would stay and is giving the Raptors everything he has.
The memories he's created during this playoff run alone are worth what we gave up to get him. If he leaves... then at least we had a hell of a rental!
Lets point out that the trade, at worst, was a cap dump in DD. Derozan makes 27.7mill with a player option in 2020-2021 season. He's not worth that, and considering the max deal now is 38mill/yr, for ~10mill more the opportunity of Kawhi is huge.
FA this summer:
Durant, Horford, Barnes, Kawhi, DeAndre Jordan, Butler, Irving, Tyler Johnson, Thompson, Kanter, W. Matthews, Dragic, Basemore, Valanciunas, Ariza, Rubio, T.Harris, Vucevic, Mirotic, T.Evans, Redick, A.Rivers, Kemba Walker,Danny Green, Rudy Gay, Collison, D'Angelo Russell, Porzingis, Cousins, Beverley, Mudiay, Brook Lopez, Rozier.
They aren't getting a Durant, Klay, Kemba, Irving level of guy, but if they don't land Kawhi, they'll have space for someone else. But the 2020 FA market, there's like Draymond Green, then no one. So if they wanna go the FA route, they have to do it this yr.

The NBA wants to tone down Drake's on-court antics.
The Canadian Press has learned the league made a call to the Raptors to discuss the Toronto rapper's behaviour on the sidelines.
Drake has made headlines throughout the playoffs for his behaviour courtside at Scotiabank Arena, where he has seats close to the Raptors bench.
While most of his antics are limited to standing up and shouting at opposing players — which are allowed by the NBA's fan conduct policy, so long as extreme language is not used — he has also drawn the ire of at least one opposing coach for walking onto the court during timeouts and rubbing Toronto head coach Nick Nurse's shoulders — which are in violation of said policy.
It's not the first time the Raptors have been asked to rein in their global ambassador. The NBA made a similar request during last season's conference semifinals when Drake got into a heated confrontation with then Cleveland Cavaliers Kendrick Perkins. The two fired profanity-laden volleys at each other and security had to step in and de-escalate the situation.
Drake's behaviour was called out by Milwaukee coach Mike Budenholzer after Game 4 of Toronto's Eastern Conference final win over the Bucks. Budenholzer suggested that the league should look into the rapper's antics.

Per Drake. The league even asked the Raptors to move him to an area with less cameras on him and farther from players. Raptors told the league No. I understand the leagues reasoning as this series is shown globally, and they're thinking it might be too much. But, he's a fan. Let him be a fan.
Also, here's the "Open Gym" video that the Raptors produce. This ones based on the Milwaukee series. The 24:38 to about the 28min mark is insane.
--EDIT--
Guys, I'm so effing pumped. I've only been watching the Raptors heavily for about 8yrs now, so I can't imagine how some of the life-long fans feel.
