Kawhi Leonard’s future with the Los Angeles Clippers appeared to be nearly over, and on Tuesday, June 30, the team struck a deal to send him back to his former stomping grounds. In yet another blockbuster NBA trade this offseason, the Clippers agreed to terms with the Toronto Raptors on a deal that will net them an impressive return for the 35-year-old forward, as ESPN’s Shams Charania highlighted.
Here’s a rundown of the trade terms and details that were initially reported:
- Raptors get: Kawhi Leonard
- Clippers get: Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, two first-round draft picks, one pick swap and two second-round picks.
The Clippers have significantly bolstered their draft capital through trades in recent seasons, and their return for Leonard will go a long way toward helping the franchise build a strong long-term outlook. However, along with the four picks in this trade, the Clippers also pick up a strong starter in Brandon Ingram and a player in Gradey Dick who could get more opportunities with his new team.
