Could an unhappy Kawhi Leonard really sit out next season rather than reporting to the Raptors?
Could an unhappy Kawhi Leonard really sit out next season rather than reporting to the Raptors?
Kawhi Leonard is now a member of the Toronto Raptors, after a Wednesday morning blockbuster that sent DeMar DeRozan to San Antonio and shockwaves throughout the NBA. The trade clearly didn’t sit well with DeRozan, who felt betrayed by the Raptors deciding to send him to the Spurs after reportedly telling him during Summer League that he’d be staying put.
By most accounts, Leonard’s not a fan, either … and by one, he might be thinking about taking extreme measures to register his displeasure at being shipped up north. From Sean Deveney of the Sporting News:
“ And, league sources told Sporting News, Leonard has no interest in playing for the Raptors. There have been indications that he would sit out the entire season if necessary, and though that step would be drastic and unprecedented in today’s game, Toronto has forced the situation into uncharted territory by acquiring a player who has made it clear he does not want to be there."
If this happens, that is sick. Adam Silver should ban Kawhi from the NBA if this happens. Suspend him for 1 year, then he has to come back and play for the Raptors only. Nip this in the bud now before other players get this idea.
