Kawhi Leonard Hires Harrison Gaines As New Agent Ahead Of Extension Talks With Raptors

Kawhi Leonard has switched agents ahead of contract extension talks with the Raptors, hiring Harrison Gaines from SLASH Sports. Gaines, who previously served as Leonard's business attorney, is set to lead the negotiations, replacing longtime representatives. This move could indicate a fresh approach to negotiations, possibly reflecting a desire for more direct control over his contract discussions. Gaines’ lack of other NBA player clients suggests he's fully committed to Leonard, potentially leading to a more focused and effective negotiation process.
