If Kawhi Leonard becomes available in a trade, the Los Angeles Clippers would be among the interested teams, according to a report.
USA Today’s Sam Amick wrote a lengthy column about Leonard on Saturday, the same day the San Antonio Spurs forward was not in Oakland for his team’s playoff game against the Golden State Warriors. Leonard has only played in nine games this season as he’s dealt with a quad issue, and there has been talk about issues between him and the team.
Amick writes that some could interpret Leonard’s absence from the team’s playoff game as a sign he might get traded this summer. If he does get traded, Amick says the Clippers would have interest in offering a trade package.
Of course, Clippers fans should temper their expectations. First off, there is no certainty that Leonard will be traded. And if he is made available, you can expect several teams to be interested. However, the Clippers could have a better shot than others because they would be somewhat of a hometown team for the Southern California native.
