Raptors GM Webster says he was always confident Kawhi Leonard deal would go ahead
Toronto Raptors general manager Bobby Webster said the team was always confident its trade for Kawhi Leonard would be completed.
The Raptors acquired Leonard from the Los Angeles Clippers in June, but the deal was delayed while the NBA investigated possible salary-cap circumvention.
Leonard signed a two-year extension with Toronto, returning to the team he helped lead to its only NBA title in 2019.
The Canadian Press reported that Leonard has averaged 20.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 3.1 assists over 14 NBA seasons.
