Kawhi Leonard Reportedly Believes a Reunion Trade to the Raptors is Happening

Kawhi Leonard is reportedly packing his bags for Canada. Again.

According to a report from Fischer via Underdog NBA, the LA Clippers forward strongly believes a trade sending him back to the Toronto Raptors will actually go through. The timeline? He expects to be north of the border in time for training camp.

"Fischer: Kawhi Leonard 'strongly believes' trade to Raptors will go through, enabling him to join team in time for training camp."

Time is a flat circle, and apparently, so is Kawhi's career path. Going back to the franchise you won a championship with after spending years trying to build a contender in your hometown is the kind of script you usually only see in a mid-tier sports movie.

We do not have the exact trade package yet, which means we are left guessing how many draft picks and young players Toronto is willing to mortgage for a reunion tour. But if this deal materializes, it completely detonates the current Eastern Conference hierarchy.

You do not need a finance degree to know what this does to the futures market. The second this trade becomes official, Toronto's odds to win the East will shrink faster than a cheap t-shirt in the dryer, while the Clippers' win total will be in free fall.

For now, we wait to see if the front offices can actually match the math on a blockbuster deal. If Kawhi is right, training camp in Toronto is about to be the biggest circus in the league.
