The NBA world continues to wait on what Kawhi Leonard will do, and some players are in a holding pattern because of it. According to a recent report from The New York Times’ Marc Stein, Danny Green continues to be pursued by many teams, but looks to be waiting to see what Leonard will do first:
The Mavericks remain in pursuit of Danny Green, league sources say, but Green is determined to wait on Kawhi Leonard's decision before deciding whether to stay in Toronto

According to Stein, the Dallas Mavericks remain in pursuit of Green, but Green likely won’t be making a decision until Kawhi Leonard does. In the meantime, the Mavericks have agreed with Maxi Kleber and Seth Curry on two new deals, and will likely be continuing to monitor the situation regarding Green and Leonard.
After being traded to the Toronto Raptors in the package that sent Kawhi Leonard to the team, Green was a big contributor to the Raptors and their championship run. If Leonard decides to return to the Raptors, it seems like that Green stays for another run in Toronto.
Should Kawhi pick the Lakers, it would make sense for Green to follow him there. However, Green could also choose to sign with Dallas, who would likely give him more money.
At this point, it seems to be all up to what Danny Green prefers in a team, and with him eyeing Kawhi Leonard’s decision first, that might speak to him trying to follow Kawhi wherever he goes.
