Brian Windhorst on potential Kawhi Leonard trade to Raptors: This is lining up. This trade could happen today. I think the Clippers and the Raptors have agreed on player compensation. I think it would be Brandon Ingram based on what I am told that would head to Los Angeles. What they’ve been haggling over is the draft pick compensation. The Raptors have all of their four first-round picks. They have up to four to trade. Naturally, the Clippers are going to want multiple of those. Let’s see if they can get this worked out. The key part of this is that the Raptors are willing to offer Leonard an extension and Leonard is willing to sign in Toronto. Those are two big check marks that happen. What’s interesting is that despite him coming off a brilliant season, the Clippers, I am told, are not willing to offer Kawhi Leonard an extension right now of any sort. There’s not one on the table. He’s not rejecting one to go with another. And that is what is forcing this.
