The NBA offseason is now in full effect with Kawhi Leonard deciding he wants out of San Antonio.
According to multiple reports, the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers are reportedly at the top of Leonard’s list of preferred destinations, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Sources: So far, Leonard has expressed nothing directly to Spurs about future. Lakers and Clippers interest Leonard -- and both teams would move quickly to assemble packages to acquire Leonard. Spurs won't rush. Leonard and his camp had shown interest in $219M super max deal.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) June 15, 2018
In addition to the Lakers, people close to Leonard have expressed a desire for Kawhi to play for the New York Knicks, according to ESPN’s Ian Begley.
There are more than a few teams who can offer a better package to San Antonio for Kawhi than the Knicks can (assuming they don’t include Porzingis), but people close to Leonard have expressed a desire for Leonard to play in New York, per sources. https://t.co/CTs0ISkKXv— Ian Begley (@IanBegley) June 15, 2018
Leonard is not concerned with missing out on the supermax contract of five years and $219 million that he is eligible for, according to ESPN's Chris Haynes.
Kawhi Leonard isn't concerned about missing out on the supermax, sources tell ESPN. There's a feeling of betrayal that at this juncture, appears irreparable.— Chris Haynes (@ChrisBHaynes) June 15, 2018
Leonard played in just nine games this season averaging 16.2 points, 2.3 assists, and 4.7 rebounds per game.
