Masai expects Leonard to be in Toronto "shorty" (most Raptors players got in on or before Sept. 15, with camp starting next week), said he's spent a lot of time with the coaches already and met many of his new teammates in LA last month.
Masai was careful not to say anything definitive in regards to Kawhi's health, will wait to see how he looks in camp, but all indications are he's "ready to roll". "He's been working out very, very hard"."I look at it as a day to day process. My focus is this year. If you look at the future you're going to trip over the present."

Kawhi ranks #2 on people and things to watch this season, behind of course Lebron in LA
2. Cold-Weather Kawhi Leonard
Chau: The biggest question in the East this season was the biggest question in the West last season: Just what can we expect from Kawhi? If his 2016–17 form has not been lost, the Raptors have gained a player that turns all of the Raptors’ weaknesses into elite strengths. They would have enough talent to challenge every team in the league. But is that too much to ask for? Leonard’s season carries numerous burdens — it will tell us a lot about his long-term health, about his sustainability as an elite offensive player (which we’ve truly seen only one full season of), about whether the Raptors were ever as close to elite status as we thought they were over the years, and about the mystique of Gregg Popovich. No pressure.

The "but Vince's teammates" argument falls apart when you look at what happened with the Nets, which is...nothing. He dunked the ball, scored some points, everyone talked about potential. They had one 49 win season and got bounced in 5 games in round 2. They had several roughly .500 or worse seasons. Nothing really happened. It was all very....Vince."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

It's an exaggeration to say he wasn't the same player. The decline started in 2008 at age 31, after 3 seasons with the nets and 3 all star games while collecting 3 player of the months. Didnt get past the 2nd round with Jason Kidd.9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum
