He could be continuing to collect gifts and other perks from the various teams trying to sign him.

This is a common occurrence with top tier players in most pro sports.

Not for nothing but why wouldn't he stay right where he just won a Championship. I'm sure he'd get a ton of love there if he stayed.

He's got a good young supporting cast.

And beat all those other teams of superstars.

Stay in Toronto where he's a King

Go to LA where he can win more easily and claim more rings

Stay in Toronto and hope to beat the Lakers in the Finals to spite LeBron and further his own legacy.

Lots to mull over

I'd like to see him join Houston and James Harden

And KD will be in Brooklyn with Kyrie next year. If Leonard stays in Toronto there will be some semblance of top parity in the league and my money says that Toronto would have a great chance of repeating. Leonard is now all of Canada's darling, not just Toronto's. He would get tons of endorsement money. Tons. Much, much more than he would get with any team in the states.

Plus there's nothing wrong with being loved anywhere, anytime. His max love is in Toronto.

He announces it Sunday night is my guess. Waiting for the holiday weekend to be over and then he milks the story all next week for exposure

Hope its not the Lakers. Clippers or Toronto would be better for the NBA

You're probably right about that- I haven't been listening to the media for a couple days. Wishful thinking on my part that he still might go to the Clips.

The longer this drags out the more likely he is going to the Lakers. Don't think he is waiting all these days just to say he's staying in Toronto

Would be funny shit if he goes somewhere other than Toronto or LA. Worked something else behind the scenes.
