Kawhi Leonard reportedly did not accept a free vacation to Barbados in exchange for staying with the Toronto Raptors this summer.
BTMI Canada has offered Leonard a free trip if the two-time Finals MVP agrees to stay with the Raptors. Leonard was seen vacationing this week, so many thought The Claw accepted the offer.
Kawhi Leonard did not accept a free vacation to Barbados. A spokeswoman for BTMI Canada, the tourism board, said they did not sponsor Leonard’s “personal vacation” in any way. BTMI had offered a free trip it he agreed to stay with the Toronto Raptors. The offer still stands.

The Raptors can offer Leonard the most money in free agency and a fifth year on his deal. If Kawhi decides to leave Toronto, he will likely decide between the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers.
Leonard enjoyed his first year in Canada, but there's something about playing at home in California in the warm weather that seems to be enticing for Leonard. Kawhi led the Raptors to their first ever championship, so whatever decision he decides to make, the Toronto faithful will always appreciate what the superstar did for them in 2018-19.
Toronto will get the last free agent meeting with Leonard in Los Angeles after the three-time All-Star and two-time Defensive Player of the Year meets with the Lakers and Clippers. The Raptors don't have to sell anything new to Leonard. They managed his health really well this past season and showed they can build a championship roster around him.
