Mitchell Robinson likely leaving Knicks; Kawhi Leonard eyeing return to Raptors

As the NBA offseason heats up, Mitchell Robinson is unlikely to return to the New York Knicks. Owner James Dolan has indicated a reluctance to pay into the second apron, making Robinson's stay improbable as he enters unrestricted free agency. Meanwhile, Kawhi Leonard, currently negotiating with the Clippers, is reportedly open to returning to Toronto if he is traded. He has not shown interest in extending his contract with the Clippers unless certain conditions are met. Additionally, speculation surrounds LeBron James and a potential trade with the Cavaliers for Jarrett Allen, although his desire to move back to Cleveland remains uncertain.
