In rumors,

The folks at ESPN made a good point. If Leonard signs a long-term supermax deal now, he could make $190M over five years with the Raptors or $140M over four years with another team, like the Clippers. But if he signs a long-term deal in 2021, when he'd have 10 years under him, he could make tens of millions more. With Lowry, Ibaka, FVV, and Siakam under contract next year, and Gasol all but assured to exercise his one year option, it makes more financial sense for Leonard to remain in Toronto for a couple of years.
