He came to Toronto, and did what he needed to prove his worth and his point before the final buzzer. He ultimate revenge to the Spurs and to anyone who sided with the Spurs last year.
Wherever he wanted to go (and live) before and the Spurs wouldn't let him, he will go there now on his terms. Hell, Balmer would move the Clippers back to San Diego if Leonard wanted to play in his home town.

Well I'm glad that's settled then.
I bet he hasn't even decided yet. Obviously it's possible he just chooses to go home, but staying in the East with TO probably gives him a better chance of winning then almost anywhere else. Again, maybe he does just leave, but I could see him signing a short deal with a plan to have TO sign him to a Max deal after in a sign and trade back to LA.
