Kawhi Leonard reportedly drawing interest from Mavericks, Raptors in trade discussions with Clippers
Yahoo Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Kawhi Leonard, entering the final year of his contract with the Los Angeles Clippers, is a major trade target as the NBA free agency period begins, with teams interested in acquiring him to boost their playoff or championship chances.
- The Dallas Mavericks are reportedly interested in trading for Leonard, potentially offering Klay Thompson, P.J. Washington, and draft picks, which would reunite Leonard with Masai Ujiri, who previously acquired him for the Toronto Raptors' 2019 championship run.
- Leonard is also open to returning to the Toronto Raptors and signing an extension, but trade negotiations may hinge on whether the Clippers accept Brandon Ingram, preferred by Toronto over RJ Barrett, in the deal.
- Despite the Detroit Pistons' strong recent season, Leonard is not interested in joining them as he would not sign a contract extension, leading the Pistons to pursue other offseason options.
