Windhorst The Clippers are not acting like they're desperate to keep him I don't understand why the Clippers are not worried about losing Paul George

Windhorst The Clippers will have serious demands from the Raptors for Leonard Leonards request to land in Toronto creates an exclusive negotiation but his willingness to sign an extension and eliminate concerns about him being a rental will help LA secure an extra piece or two in a trade

Windhorst Hes only worth 30M instead of 50M youre not getting that from LeBron James LeBron James doesnt believe in that and I dont expect him to accept that If youre the Lakers and if you force LeBron to leave hell go somewhere else and play for less money

Windhorst The LA Clippers have quietly been visiting draft prospects expected to be taken in the late lottery range in the last few days This could signal a trade of Leonard to Miami No 13 or Golden State No 11 and LA trading No 5 to Milwaukee for Jaylen Brown

Windhorst It's been communicated to me that the number one thing for LeBron next season is happiness not money I have clearance to use this quote attributed to Rich Paul 'The Lakers are not and will not annoy us'

Windhorst The people on the league I'm talking to today are giving me the side eye and they're going this is going end up with Draymond getting a new contract in GS LeBron getting a new contract in LA and AD getting a new contract in Washington

Windhorst LeBron's intention is to play and the focus right now is making a deal with the Lakers They are negotiating I think he's going to try and make a deal with the Lakers The league generally believes the two sides are going to come together
