Warriors Eye Kawhi Leonard in Massive Trade Pitch
2 Jun
Summary
- Warriors might trade a six-time All-Star for Kawhi Leonard.
- Trade involves a significant $110 million package.
- Leonard is a two-time NBA Finals MVP and All-NBA player.
A speculative trade scenario has emerged, proposing that the Golden State Warriors could acquire two-time NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard. This potential blockbuster deal would require the Warriors to send a six-time All-Star, whose contract is valued at $110 million, to the Los Angeles Clippers. The proposed trade is viewed as a move to strengthen the Warriors' roster as Stephen Curry enters the later stages of his career.
This trade pitch, originating from Andy Bailey of Bleacher Report, suggests that the expiring contract of the All-Star player, coupled with draft capital like the No. 11 overall pick in the upcoming draft and potentially a future first-round pick swap, could entice the Clippers. For the Warriors, the acquisition of Leonard, who recently made an All-NBA team, is seen as a way to remain competitive, despite his injury history. He averaged 27.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 3.6 assists for the Clippers this past season.
