Proposed Realistic Blockbuster Trade Sends Kawhi Leonard To The Warriors
In this mock blockbuster trade, the Warriors land Kawhi Leonard for an ultimate package.
The Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Clippers are two teams flying under the radar and not generating much noise in the Western Conference. The Warriors feel good about their “deep” roster, but there might not be enough help for Stephen Curry once the playoffs arrive. The Warriors could be in a risky frame of thought right now because Curry is signed through 2026-27 and they only have three seasons left to compete for a title. A risk as big as contacting the Clippers for Kawhi Leonard could be feasible, especially considering their immediate championship aspirations and the fact that Klay Thompson is one star who has already left the team.
Meanwhile, the Clippers are stuck with Leonard seemingly not able to stay on the court and it might be time to move on. Paul George already walked in free agency so Kawhi Leonard could be the next to go for the Clippers to finally move on and rebuild after years of trying and failing to make the NBA Finals. Here is a proposed trade that could see Kawhi Leonard join Stephen Curry in Golden State and it involves a host of talented players.
Golden State Warriors Receive: Kawhi Leonard
Los Angeles Clippers Receive: Andrew Wiggins, Brandin Podziemski, De’Anthony Melton, Gary Payton II, 2026 First-Round Pick
Let’s break down how this trade works for both teams involved and what could possibly come out of this for all parties involved.
