The NBA world awaits a tweet from either Adrian Wojnarowski, Chris Haynes or a dormant Kawhi Leonard Twitter account, yet it was a report from Jalen Rose that moved NBA title odds on Wednesday. Appearing on an afternoon edition of ESPN's 'Get Up', Rose said he's "99 percent" sure that Leonard will be returning to the Raptors. That had odds on the move, dropping Toronto to 6-1 to win the 2019-20 NBA title at Westgate SuperBook. That was down from 14-1 yesterday. “What I’m 99% hearing is that Kawhi Leonard will be returning to Toronto and signing a 2-year contract," Rose said. "That will put him at 10 years and put him in position to get largest maximum deal for a player of his tenure." According to ESPN's Bobby Marks, Leonard could then sign a 5-year deal worth more than $250 million. Leonard is coming off a Finals MVP performance in his one year with Toronto following a trade from the San Antonio Spurs. His decision has come down to the Raptors, Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers brought back Patrick Beverley on a 3-year, $40-million deal while holding out cap space to bring in Leonard. The Lakers created the cap space for Leonard in multiple trades with New Orleans and Washington. Leonard would join LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Kyle Kuzma as the betting favorite to win the title. The Lakers, once as low as +125, are now +150 at Westgate. The Clippers are 16-1 to win the title. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski [said](https://nba.nbcsports.com/2019/07/03/report-interested-teams-have-been-warned-not-to-leak-kawhi-leonard-info/) on the network's airwaves that Leonard's camp has made it clear that any leaks coming out of the discussions will be a negative mark on his potential decision. Earlier on Wednesday, Leonard was meeting with Toronto as helicopters followed his SUV after he landed for his meeting with the Raptors. Fans then gathered around the hotel he was believed to be meeting at. <a href="https://twitter.com/jameswattie/status/1146478600687935490" class="embedly-card" data-card-width="100%" data-card-controls="0">Embedded content: https://twitter.com/jameswattie/status/1146478600687935490</a>
