It's simple enough: more than 50 restaurants throw the little sticker you see at the top of this post in their window, and if Leonard re-signs, he'll get meals for life in Toronto, a city that has a great food scene. But it's not just restaurants getting in on the fun: Uber and Lyft drivers can offer Leonard free rides for life, and according to Ledlow, the list of participating businesses also includes "a recording studio, an auto detail shop, and a law firm."
Simon S. Mass, CEO of The Condo Store Inc., may have a genius solution to sweeten the deal for Leonard. If the player signs on for another season, Mass will gift him a luxury condo in one of Toronto's prestigious hotel residences — the Shangri-La, Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton or St. Regis, with values ranging from $2 to $5 million.
"I'd be happy, on behalf of The Condo Store, to work out a deal in any of the towers that he prefers. Based on his contract — whether it's one-year, two-year or three-year — we would make sure that he has his own place to stay, as a sign of our support to the team and the city," says Mass, whose firm specializes in representing high-net-worth investors on new condo developments.
"From the minute he came on-board, he's been our star player, and he's the one that's been keeping the team in the playoffs. From day one, the question has been, 'Is he going to sign a contract next year?' He's never given an answer to any questions in regards to this and a lot of the major teams are trying to get him. So what can we throw at him to make him want to stay? We want to get the support of the city behind Kawhi and ensure he's comfortable in a multi-million dollar condo that is built for a king."'
