To be accurate about Rose's statement, he said 99% of his sources say Kawhi will be back in Toronto. It may be from Kawhi's camp as they may want to get that word out rather than dropping the mike like Lebron. By most accounts nobody knows Leonard, so what Rose means by that statement is that almost all his sources think he'll be back in Toronto, but not that there's a 99% chance.
As for the media today - that's embarrassing. Clearly a few fans cared to go to the hotel (overdone IMO, but okay I guess), but to get a helicopter and make it like the OJ chase is silly. Pure media contrived equivalent of clickbait. I don't see it as fun - I think it's over the top sillyness - the parallels to OJ isn't a positive image in anyone's eyes.
