Kawhi Leonard returns to Raptors, disrupting Heat's trade ambitions

Kawhi Leonard has officially returned to the Toronto Raptors following a trade from the Los Angeles Clippers. Before the trade, the Miami Heat expressed interest in acquiring Leonard, particularly after adding Giannis Antetokounmpo and Klay Thompson to their roster. However, Leonard is reportedly interested only in extending his contract with the Raptors or the San Antonio Spurs. His return to Toronto may influence the team's competitiveness in the Eastern Conference. His expected new contract could be worth $124 to $126 million over two years.
