Kawhi stays with Raptors hypothetical

The Knicks have a ring in a world where Kawhi Leonard stays. That's the part of this counterfactual I can't get past. He got Toronto its first NBA title in 2019, then went to the Clippers instead of running it back north of the border. One decision, and the whole board rearranges. SGA never lands with the Thunder. Pascal Siakam never ends up on the Pacers. OG Anunoby never gets shipped to New York. No OG in New York means no championship there, at least in this version of events. If Kawhi re-signs, none of it happens, per the argument. Which is a lot of dominoes resting on one guy's summer. Drop your take below, I need to know if I'm alone in thinking about this too hard. #KawhiLeonard
