## Resource

Kawhi Leonard is poised to sign a two-year extension with the Toronto Raptors, keeping him in Toronto until he’s 38 and cementing his Hall of Fame legacy with the team. After a dramatic return to Canada, the Raptors are betting big — they gave up Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, and multiple picks to land him — and now they’re locking him down before the season starts. With Scottie Barnes as his cornerstone, this is a high-stakes gamble aimed squarely at championship glory. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
