Latest Update on Kawhi Leonard To 76ers Rumors From Brian Windhorst
Brian Windhorst, an American sportswriter just has some new updates on the rumors surrounding Kawhi Leonard and the Philadelphia 76ers. According to all the rumors going on in the basketball world, Kawhi Leonard is possibly being traded to the Philadelphia 76ers.
During an appearance on his ‘Hoops Collective’ podcast, Windhorst delved into the contract situations of both Leonard and Paul George.
He specifically talked about the fact that both guys have player options in 2024-25 for nearly $50 million. After that both are unrestricted free agents.
But why would Kawhi be traded to Philly? Well if the Clippers’ extension contract doesn’t go according to their conditions the Sixers could enter the equation as a potential trade destination.
“The Clippers are not without leverage here on Paul and Kawhi,” Windhorst said.
“As far as I know, those guys want to be in Los Angeles. And so if they opt out and become free agents, I guess somebody could go after them, you know Philadelphia has positioned themselves to be a big free agent player.
“I guess Philadelphia could swoop in and go after Paul or Kawhi. Are they going to Philly or some place like that? Maybe it’s not the worst set of risk factors for the Clippers to play it out.”
This isn’t the first time over the past month that Windhorst has addressed Leonard’s future with the Clippers. Leonard, for his part, seemed unbothered by his perilous status with the Clippers. Between the birthday boat parties, wedding celebrations, and clubbing with Rick Ross, the man has stayed busy this summer.
In addition, Leonard has been working out really hard at the gym, and he’s now looking incredibly strong and fit.
Will the Clippers and Leonard be able to agree on what he should do next? We’ll have to wait and see.
