Raptors Pausing Kawhi Trade Pending Clippers Investigation
Blazer's Edge • • sports
Key Points:
- The LA Clippers-Toronto Raptors trade involving Kawhi Leonard will not be finalized until the NBA completes its investigation into whether the Clippers circumvented the salary cap.
- The trade, agreed upon on June 30, would send Kawhi Leonard to Toronto in exchange for Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, and multiple future draft picks.
- The Clippers stated the trade can only be completed if the Raptors' ownership assumes the risk of potential penalties related to Kawhi's contract stemming from the investigation.
- The Raptors have declined to assume that risk and will wait for the NBA's findings but expressed eagerness to bring Kawhi Leonard back to Toronto and hope for a swift resolution.
