July 1, 2026

ESPN;

The LA Clippers have agreed to trade All-NBA forward Kawhi Leonard to the Toronto Raptors for Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, unprotected first-round picks in 2031 and 2033, a 2027 first-round pick swap and two second-round picks, sources told ESPN on Tuesday.

The deal marks a return to Canada for the star who led the Raptors to an NBA title in 2019, winning Finals MVP after he averaged 28.5 points per game in the victory over the Golden State Warriors.

It wouldn’t be surprising to see Leonard return to Toronto, especially if the Raptors are willing to sign him to a two-year, $123.7 million extension. Furthermore, the team boasts a lot of promising young talent, namely Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett, and rookie Allen Graves, whom they drafted 19th overall.

All Warriors starters are negative in the +/- column.

Aside from Barrett, Chris Boucher scored 17 points and 9 rebounds from the bench, with Pascal Siakam adding 16 points with 6 rebounds and 6 assists. The Raptors were never threaten in the game and at one point, their lead ballooned to 27 points.
