Will Barbosa be in Toronto next season?

With so much uncertainty surrounding the NBA’s landscape, there’s no telling where Leandro Barbosa will end up playing next year, assuming there is a season.

With no playoff position to grab, Barbosa continues to be as professional as can be amid the losing, health issues and a suspect roster.

Whether Barbosa comes back for his second season in Toronto, no one can say.

Whether Barbosa decides to be a Raptor only to allow the club’s general manager to trade the veteran, whether it’s Bryan Colangelo or someone the onerous and basketball-brainless Teachers’ Pension Fund deems worthy, no one knows.

All that is known in a climate of unknowns is that Barbosa has a player option for next season worth $7.6 million, a clause he can trigger this summer.

Business aside, Barbosa is one of those guys any team covets, especially a team such as the Raptors, a rebuilding club that can use low-maintenance players capable of high returns.

It’s no different when looking at Reggie Evans, the only difference being that Evans becomes an unrestricted free agent.

In a perfect world, you keep players such Barbosa and Evans, indispensable pieces that work hard, lead by example and are fully aware of the NBA’s grind.

“I don’t know what I’m going to do,’’ Barbosa said as he made his return to the desert for the first time since his trade to Toronto.

“Nobody knows if things will be changed. No one can expect anything. I enjoy Toronto and I enjoy the team. It’s too bad we’ve been losing a lot.

“If I come back to Toronto, I know I will do better. I will do my best.”
