Jeremy Lin remembers when Kawhi Leonard joined the Toronto Raptors.

Leonard helped the Raptors win their first NBA championship.

Now, Lin thinks Leonard can help the Raptors again if he joins the team.

Lin said, "It's a big effect. Imagine the team without him. He's a very important player."

Lin was part of the Raptors team that won the championship with Leonard.

The NBA is looking into some issues with the Clippers, Leonard's old team.

Lin thinks it would be great if Leonard came back to the Raptors.

Lin said, "I hope it happens. I hope everything is okay with the investigation."

Lin thinks Leonard ending his career with the Raptors would be perfect.

Leonard would join a young team with players like Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett.

The Raptors would give the Clippers some players and picks for Leonard.

Lin said Leonard helps his teammates play better.

Lin said, "He makes the game easier for everyone. They get easier shots and can drive to the basket easily."

Lin compared Leonard to Stephen Curry, a great player who can change a team.

Lin said, "When Leonard is on the floor, everything changes. The team's chances of winning get much better."

Last season, Leonard averaged 27.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game.

Lin thinks the Raptors could be a surprise team with Leonard.

Lin said, "I think they're the dark horse. I don't think they're the favorite, but they could do well."

Lin said he wouldn't want to play against the Raptors in the playoffs.

Lin said, "Miami and Toronto are two teams I don't want to see in the playoffs. They could go far."

Lin thinks Leonard can win games by himself.

Lin said, "He can win games alone and defend the other team's best players."

Lin doesn't know what will happen with the NBA investigation.

Lin said, "I don't know what's going to happen. I don't have any information."

Lin has no idea what the result of the investigation will be.
