The Story in 60 Seconds

Toronto Raptors president of basketball operations Bobby Webster stated the franchise retains enough draft capital and financial flexibility to make another significant move following the reacquisition of Kawhi Leonard. Toronto acquired Leonard from the Los Angeles Clippers earlier this month in exchange for two first-round draft picks, two second-round picks, and a first-round pick swap.

Leonard signed a two-year, $115 million contract extension after the trade, which had been paused during an NBA investigation into the Clippers. Webster indicated that Leonard's deal will not prevent the Raptors from keeping RJ Barrett, while also reporting that center Jakob Poeltl returned in good health following last season's back issues.
