Welcome back !
DONE DEAL 🦖
The Clippers and Raptors have agreed to complete the trade sending Kawhi Leonard to Toronto, per @ShamsCharania.
Looks like he's coming back to the @Raptors
Kawhi Leonard, through his new agent, Harrison Gaines, issues statement:
“Integrity and respect for this game are fundamental to who I am. I accept full responsibility for lapses in judgment by people within my inner circle and regret the distraction this situation has caused the fans and my family.
I entered into my contract with the Clippers as well as the agreements in question in good faith, fully committed to fulfilling my obligations and with no knowledge of any intent on anyone's part to circumvent the salary cap.
For 15 years, my priority has been giving everything to my family, the game, and those I share the court with. As I return to Toronto, I am focused on what I can control, closing this chapter, and moving forward with a clean slate."

Aaron Boone texted Schneider last night asking if #BlueJays would have any roster moves (Schneider speculates Boone saw Tiedemann Twitter rumblings).
“Boonie’s a really good emoji texter … he sent ‘any other moves for you tomorrow that I should be aware of’ with the big eyes.”
