Breaking: Kawhi Leonard, a two-time NBA Finals MVP and Southern California native, will sign with the Clippers, spurning the Lakers
Kawhi Leonard celebrates after the Toronto Raptors clinch their first NBA title with a Game 6 win over the Golden State Warriors on June 13 in Oakland. For the Clippers, the wait was well worth it.
The Clippers will acquire George in a trade that will send forward Danilo Gallinari and prized point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, fresh off an all-rookie season, to Oklahoma City. In addition, the Clippers will send the Thunder four unprotected first-round draft picks, a protected first-round pick and they will swap two picks.
Leonard’s move spurns his other suitors, the Lakers and Raptors, and immediately transforms the Clippers into a contender for next season’s Western Conference championship. But Leonard’s decision is notable not only for changing the Clippers’ future. The 28-year-old Moreno Valley native, who played collegiately at San Diego State, represents the most important free agent signing in the history of a franchise that, prior to Friday, had never been a destination for top stars in their prime.
