Kawhi Leonard’s Goodbye Text to Raptors Group Chat Revealed

Despite leaving the Toronto Raptors for the LA Clippers, Kawhi Leonard remains close with his former teammates and is still loved by Canada, eh.

Rightfully so, Kawhi led the Raptors to an NBA title. Something the franchise never accomplished before.

One of the reasons why there are no hard feelings in Toronto is that the Raptors, GM Masai Ujiri especially, knew that Kawhi Leonard might not be a permanent solution. But, he was 100% worth the risk of trading DeMar DeRozan.

The Raptors treated Kawhi Leonard like a king during his 1 season in Toronto. They respected his load management agenda, something that Kawhi felt was being neglected by the Spurs.

While Kawhi Leonard sat out 22 games last season, he averaged a career high 26.6 points and 7.3 rebounds per game.
