Windhorst The LA Clippers and Toronto Raptors have agreed on player compensation and are currently haggling over draft picks LA could opt to use the Leonard deal to clear cap space If they wanted to they could become a free agent player if they execute this trade

ESPN MacMahon My understanding is if there's going to be an extension between Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers there's going to have to be legitimate negotiations He's going to have to take a pay cut I believe to extend with the Clippers

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
