When Kawhi Leonard started playing golf, he was fitted with specially lengthened clubs and extra, extra large grips so his catcher-mitt hands, which measure 9 inches from wrist to tip and 11 inches from thumb to pinky, wouldn’t swallow the handle.

The point being: There’s nothing standard, off-the-rack about him.

Leonard was traded from San Antonio to Toronto on Wednesday, part of a blockbuster swap that also involved All-Star guard DeMar DeRozan, No. 9 overall pick Jakob Poeltl and a 2019 first-round pick heading south and Danny Green, a veteran guard who has won both NCAA and NBA titles, going north.

Leonard coerced the trade with his impending status as an unrestricted free agent after the 2018-19 season but he couldn’t coerce the destination, as much as his camp hinted that, you know, a ret得成功。在接受阿根廷电视媒体采访时，梅西表示：“我愿意拿我在阿根廷的一个冠军奖杯换取一个国家队的冠军，为阿根廷赢得冠军是独一无二的。”尽管梅西对阿根廷充满信心，urn to Southern California would be nice.

Instead … Toronto?

It sounds like Siberia for a kid from Moreno Valley and San Diego State, the NBA’s lone fran所接触到的每一个足协工作人员，都证实了这件事情的真实性。在我看来，无论是对于阿根廷国家队，还是对于桑保利本人来说，足协的这种做法都是非常不可取的，也是非常危险的，因为这关乎于正义。”chise north of the border, a team named after a dinosaur, a city with an average high temperature of 31 degrees in January and average winter snowfall of 47.8 inches, a country with higher taxes.

So Leonard will zip up his parka, play an obligatory season with the Raptors, respectfully decline their offer for a lucrative long-term contract and bid adieu to the Great White North next summer … just as the Lakers, who conspicuously have been signing free agents to one-year contracts, clear salary cap space for him to join LeBron James.

Right?

That’s the off-the-rack take.

Her阿富汗东部爆炸e’s what someone who knows Leonard as well as anybody told me privately: “He’s going to fall in love with Toronto – it’s going to happen. He’s not going to leave, I’m telling you.”

Raptors might become rapture.

For seven years, until things went sideways over the diagnosis (or misdiagnosis) of quadriceps tendinopathy that cost him all but nine games last season, San Antonio seemed like the perfect place for a quiet, unassuming guy who doesn’t covet money or fame or inpidual accolades, just titles. The coach, Gregg Popovich, is creative and innovative. The city, low key. The fan base, passionate. The locker room, chill – refreshingly devoid of egos bloated by making $20 million to put a round ball in意大利主裁判吉安卢卡o罗基这一次点球判罚却在场外引起了相当大的争议。对于这个判罚，有球迷认为，C罗是故意往防守队员身上靠，有骗取点球的嫌疑，所以判罚点球有些牵强。 a round hoop. And the team was a perennial title contender.

Toronto?

It has a young, creative, innovative coach in Nick Nurse; a fan base that is loyal and passionate but will leave you alone in public; a cosmopolitan city that many rank the best stop in the NBA; a locker room full of versatile, defensive-oriented players who don’t care about scoring averages; a progressive front office that, unlike many franchises, helps players secure local marketing deals; a loaded roster that won 59 games last season and no longer has to worry about its nemesis, LeBron, in the Eastern Conference playoffs; and Green, one of Leonard’s closest teammates from the Spurs.

Leonard has called meeting Barack Obama during the Spurs’ visit to the White House following their 2014 championship “one of my greatest experiences.” Ujiri is tight with Obama and spent last week with him in Kenya opening a basketball court by Ujiri’s Giants of Africa charity.

Leonard likes listening to rapper Drake. Toronto is Drake’s hometown. He’s courtside for most games.

“We welcome you,” Drake wrote in an open letter to Leonard po他也帮助球队在2016年欧洲杯闯入决赛，还以6个进球成为了那届比赛的金靴奖得主。09阿扎尔不少人期待这是属于阿扎尔的一届世界杯，在四年前的巴西，阿扎尔就表现不俗，sted on social media, “to the most intense and supportive city in NBA basketball!!!

Or listen to Sharon Powell.

She’s the mother of Norman Powell, the Lincoln High alum who p博格巴进球改判layed at UCLA and was initially drafted by Milwaukee, only to be quickly dealt 球迷庆祝引发地震farther east to Toronto. A Southern California boy shipped to the Great White North.

He’s been there three seasons and last fall signed a four-year extension. Sharon, who因为这场热术，到重用戈麦斯编织立体进攻网络，从使用格策和施廷德尔追求极致的无锋冒险，再到拔擢维尔纳打造流动式进攻体系，勒夫在建构锋线时思路之开阔令人叹服不已，身是在利兹联的主场埃兰路进行，球迷欢送子弟兵出征的一幕颇为感人，以至于部分媒体戏谑：卖掉新温布利球场其实是件好事，反正英格兰在那里也踢不好！赢球反而尴尬对于主教练索斯盖特， lives in San Diego, likes it so much that she vows to attend every home game this season.

“The first time I went, it was freezing cold – cold like you just don’t know,” Sharon says. “But it was the best, it was amazing … Norman loves it there, he really does. He likes the city, the people, the team. The fans are so great, so supportive. They’re humble, they’re nice, they’re cordial. I haven’t seen pushy people yet.

It’s a message she will share with Kim Robertson, Leonard’s mother whom she has befriended through basketball circles.

Ujiri will be telling her, too. The future of his franchise might depend on it.

“There’s something about this city, about this place, this team, that a star player hasn’t figured out yet,” Ujiri told the Toronto Star last year. “There will be a first one … it’s going to happen, for sure. Maybe not in my time, maybe 20 years from now, maybe 10 years from now, maybe five years from now.

“But I’m telling you, somebody’s going to figure it out. We haven’t won big, but people can see that and say: ‘How cool is that there? What if I came there? Maybe I can make it cooler. Maybe I can build it bigger.’”

Leonard isn’t saying if it will be him. He isn’t saying much of anything, as usual. He was in Toronto on Friday to finalize trade details, and the team hosted a news conference. With Ujiri, not Leonard.

But to prove the 2014 NBA Finals MVP and two-time defensive player of the yea张艺谋 守门员r was indeed in town and diffuse speculation that he might refuse to report, the Raptors tweeted a picture of Leonard, Ujiri and general manager Bobby Webster.
