The Toronto Raptors knew the risks when they traded for Kawhi Leonard last summer.
Raptors president Masai Ujiri knew that Leonard was an unrestricted free agent this upcoming summer, and that the former NBA Finals MVP could leave after just one season.
And while Ujiri and Raptors fans are hoping that their first-ever NBA Finals berth will be enough to convince Leonard to stay in Canada, a video has surfaced that may indicate that Leonard has already decided to leave.
In a video that has since been deleted, Leonard's sister appears to be answering questions on Instagram Live when a voice in the background shouts this out:
"They know darn well he ain't gonna be there next year," the unidentified male voice says.
The LakersEmpire Twitter account was able to preserve the video, and you can watch it here:

Leonard's sister, who's Instagram handle is @mztwotwo, has made her account private.

If Leonard has in fact already decided to leave the Raptors, then Toronto fans should savor the next four to seven games. Without Leonard, it's hard to see a way Toronto contends for the Eastern Conference crown next season.
