Clippers-Raptors Kawhi Trade Hits Snags Over Picks and Players

Trade talks between the Clippers and Raptors over Kawhi Leonard have a framework: LA would receive Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, and a first-round pick, but the Clippers are pushing for more value, including Jamal Shead to take on Dick’s contract. The teams disagree on which picks to include, with Toronto preferring 2027 or 2028 first-rounders and LA seeking two firsts, including a far-future pick if Shead isn’t involved. Toronto hasn’t moved Collin Murray-Boyles or Ja’Kobe Walter, and the Clippers aren’t being rushed—LA has offered a Leonard extension (not the max), a figure Toronto is more willing to meet, keeping the deal unsettled for now.

Ravens’ First-Round Trade Plan Collapses as Opponent Changes Terms

Baltimore planned to trade down from 14 in the first round with an unnamed team that would have sent two fourth‑round picks, but that team changed terms and offered a worse deal, so the Ravens kept the 14th pick and drafted guard Vega Ioane; with Rueben Bain Jr. and Kenyon Sadiq still on the board, Baltimore chose to stay put after hearing the new terms, guided by HC Jesse Minter’s strong pull for Ioane. The Ravens later made one fourth-round trade‑up for a tight end, leaving questions about how the failed Crosby deal could affect future negotiations.
