Kawhi Leonard in Purple & Gold<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This rumor has been going around since Leonard requested a trade from the San Antonio Spurs<\/a>. It was reported that the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> were his preferred destination after leaving San Antonio, but he was traded to the Toronto Raptors<\/a>. He brought a championship to Canada<\/a>, but could now be heading back to Southern California.<\/p>\n
