Fred VanVleet, who was a key player for the Toronto Raptors in their 2019 championship season, has expressed his excitement about Kawhi Leonard's return to the team. Leonard's trade back to Toronto, following his stint with the Los Angeles Clippers, has been a significant storyline in the offseason. Despite Leonard's undeniable talent and success, VanVleet believes that the Raptors did not get worse with his return.

Instead, he sees it as an opportunity for the city and organization to benefit from Leonard's return. VanVleet, who was part of the championship-winning team in 2019, witnessed Leonard's impact firsthand. At that time, Leonard was leading the Raptors to their first-ever title and winning his second Finals MVP. Now, as a veteran with a sterling track record, Leonard brings a unique blend of skills and experience to the Raptors.

This move not only strengthens the young, talented core of the team but also adds valuable veteran presence.
