Raptors Bring Back Kawhi for Title Push | Toronto Raptors News

The Raptors just pulled off a blockbuster trade, bringing back Kawhi Leonard seven years after their first title — a move that cost them Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, two first-round picks, a pick swap, and two second-rounders. With Kawhi averaging a career-high 27.9 points and earning All-NBA Second Team honors, Toronto is betting big on immediate contention. Health concerns aside, he’s still elite on both ends. But the work isn’t done: they’re targeting a two-year $60M extension to lock him down, need a versatile shooter to replace the depth of their championship roster, and must add another scoring point guard to pair with Quickley and Shead. This is a full-court press to win now — and Toronto’s got their sights set on another championship.
