Should you get back with your ex now that Kawhi is back on the Raptors?

Julian Apolinario uses Kawhi Leonard's return to the Toronto Raptors as a satirical guide for readers considering reuniting with an ex-partner. Drawing parallels between relationship dynamics and NBA front-office moves, the article outlines four steps inspired by Leonard's reunion with Toronto seven years after winning the 2019 championship.

According to the piece, Leonard took a pay cut exceeding $18 million to sign an extension with Toronto following a productive 2025-26 season.
