How the Kawhi Trade Impacts the Toronto Maple Leafs

With the Toronto Raptors swinging a blockbuster deal to acquire former-Finals MVP, Kawhi Leonard, the busiest summer in Toronto sports history reaches a new level. Merely suggesting that John Tavares had more than a 15% chance of being a Leaf was met with scoffs a month ago. Now, not only is Tavares (and his pj’s) back home, he’s July’s second-biggest coup.

Spurs have agree to trade Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green to Toronto for DeMar DeRozan, Jakob Poeltl and a protected 2019 first-round pick, league sources tell ESPN. Trade call with league office is starting shortly.
