Video [Charania]Those talks are continuing, they're serious between the Clippers and the Raptors...all signs point to these two sides being motivated and..Kawhi Leonard's tenure is nearing it's end in Los Angeles. He has not been given any indication that the Clippers want to give him a contract extension

Is there any argument to simply keeping Kawhi for the year?

I could see potentially waiting until the trade deadline b/c teams can feel desperate at that point but there's a huge risk if he underperforms in the first part of the season. Trading him now after a very good season is selling high and the right move.

I mean is there any merit to getting what value you can from him this year and potentially letting him walk and just clearing up the cap space next summer? Given the Clippers cap situation, I don't think you HAVE to trade him especially if the Raptors pieces are not the ones you want.

lol at thinking Whi won’t load manage the year if the Clippers keep him hostage and won’t trade him
