The question of why Leonard would want to leave the NBA champion Raptors is a valid one. The Raptors have a solid blend of youth and veterans, and he's already proven he can lead that team all the way. Pascal Siakam has proven himself as a potential all-star in the Eastern Conference, and performed spectacularly, albeit somewhat inconsistently, during this year's playoff run. Despite that, Leonard has no obligation to stay with Toronto. Considering Canada was not on his list of preferred destinations, it is reasonable to assume he will be looking to head toward southern pastures this summer and beyond. Teams like the Clippers and the Brooklyn Nets are filled with young talent, proven veterans, and, perhaps most importantly, enough cap space to sign TWO max-contract free agents. On top of that, the Nets and the Clippers are in far more desirable markets than the Raptors, if one of Leonard's motivations is sponsorship deals.
