Your thread title is misleading and makes it seem it's a done deal. At least put rumored or being discussed or something.

 

The LA Clippers and Toronto Raptors are seriously engaged in trade talks for All-NBA forward Kawhi Leonard, sources told ESPN.

LA and Toronto discussed a deal over the last couple of weeks, as Leonard's reps informed other teams he only wanted to sign an extension with the Raptors if the Clippers were not going to keep him, sources said. He had preferred to stay with the Clippers, but the franchise made no long-term commitments to him this offseason, sources said. Leonard has only the 2026-27 season left on his contract at $50.3 million.

 

It feels random that Toronto is pursuing Kawhi despite all the injury issues.

 

He's the most impactful player in team history and they stink.

 

The fond memories.

 

OP needs to put "Chams" in the thread title

 

Could we send FVV back there also to join the injury party?

 

My take is that LAC is trying to get rid of Kawhi and will make it cheap(ish) . Balmer is trying to save face . But he's got to be personally embarrassed by this aspiration thing and Kawhi and PG missing so many games .

He's ready for a full reset id believe .

 

I heard a rumor we might trade Jeff Green for Tyrese Maxey.

 

Lol.

Nope.

 

@Rockets34Legend is the only insider here. Broke it first.

 

Surprised Kawhi actually wants to go back to Canada
