5. Kawhi Leonard, RFA

UPDATE: Kawhi Leonard has agreed to a five-year, $90 million contract with the San Antonio Spurs.

Kawhi Leonard will receive a max contract during his period of restricted free agency. The only question is whether or not the San Antonio Spurs will match the offer to retain his services.

They should.

Over the past two seasons, Leonard has built a stunning resume with the Defensive Player of the Year and Finals MVP awards. He’s made two All-Defensive Team appearances and has increased his points, rebounds and assists per game average in each of his four seasons.

Did I mention that he’s still only 24 years old? Pay the man.
