NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard will decline his player option with the Toronto Raptors but is "seriously considering" returning to the NBA champs, Yahoo Sports reported Sunday night.
"The appeal of returning home to Southern California is enticing to the two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year," wrote Yahoo's Chris Haynes, "but with the trust the Raptors built while Leonard led the franchise to its first NBA title by upsetting the Golden State Warriors, rival executives view his current team as the favorite to land him when the free-agent negotiating period begins June 30, sources said.
ESPN reported last week that Leonard also could be weighing short-term offers that allow him to return to free agency in two or three years, similar to the approach LeBron James has taken to free agency.
