Toronto Raptors big man Serge Ibaka is waiting for Kawhi Leonard to make his decision, just like the rest of us.
However, Ibaka made sure to have some fun on his Twitter account while the entire NBA world waits for Leonard to make up his mind.

There's a strong chance the Raptors could trade Serge Ibaka, Marc Gasol and Kyle Lowry if Kawhi Leonard decides to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers or Los Angeles Clippers. After all, Toronto wouldn't be a title contender if Leonard leaves and they'd probably be a middle-of-the-pack team in the East.
President Masai Ujiri could get a bunch of young assets in return if he decides to move the three veterans should Leonard bolt for Los Angeles.
Of course, all of Toronto is hoping Leonard comes back and helps the Raptors defend their title. Even though the Philadelphia 76ers got a lot better by adding All-Star center Al Horford and combo guard Josh Richardson, Toronto would still be the favorite to win the East if Leonard returns. We'd also get to see Kawhi on Serge's cooking show on Youtube again.
At the end of the day, Raptors fans are always going to appreciate what Leonard did for them this past season. Delivering the first title in franchise history is something the city of Toronto and Canada as a whole will never forget.
