And now the Raptors aren't stuck in a precarious and uncertain position of desperately clinging to the past. The Raptors committed $222 million to Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet in the summer of 2020. The Warriors — who lost both Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson — were banged up in the Finals. Leonard could have signed a five-year, $190 million contract with the Raptors in 2019 that would have locked him up through the 2023-24 season. That resulted in the fourth overall pick in the 2020 draft which Masai Ujiri used to snag eventual Rookie of the Year Scottie Barnes. Fred VanVleet shook his slump and caught fire following the birth of his son. It's hard to imagine the Raptors letting Siakam walk regardless. If you asked 100 Raptors fans if they wished Leonard re-signed in the summer of 2019, it would be 100-0 in favor of his return. Of course, the Raptors would have done it. It's an entirely other thing to commit over $200 million and build long-term around an aging star with a checkered injury history, especially on the back end of a brutally taxing playoff run. That four-bounce buzzer-beater to beat the 76ers in Game 7 is one of the all-time playoff moments and perhaps even worthy of a statue someday outside of Scotiabank Arena. He missed 15 games in 2019-20 and 20 games in 2020-21 before missing all of last season with a torn ACL.
