Kawhi Leonard Trade to Raptors Nears Finalization After Penalty Verdict
TL;DR Summary
The NBA penalties on the Clippers for cap circumvention include a $700K payment by Kawhi Leonard, after which the Raptors–Clippers trade is expected to be finalized in the next few days. The deal would send Kawhi Leonard to the Raptors in exchange for Brandon Ingram and Gradey Dick, plus the Raptors’ unprotected 2031 and 2033 first-round picks, second-round picks in 2030 and 2033, and a 2027 pick swap to the Clippers. Los Angeles will forfeit five first-round picks as part of the penalties, leaving the Clippers with control of only 2030–2033 first-rounders; the Raptors’ picks could be crucial for the Clippers’ rebuild as Leonard returns to Toronto.
