Kawhi Leonard widely expected to re-sign with Clippers
Beyond the fact that sources with knowledge of the Clippers situation are relaying a very high level of confidence, there have been a few read-the-tea-leaves type moments of late that seem to paint the same picture: Per sources, Leonard attended several recent workouts for their draft prospects (more than he had in the past) and has been in frequent communication with the team’s staff as free agency neared.
What’s more, a rival executive said Clippers front-office officials have been operating as if they expected to have Leonard in the fold. Even with the injury that will likely keep Leonard out for most, if not all, of next season, holding onto the top free agent in this 2021 class would be a major win for owner Steve Ballmer and his group as they look to extend this title-contending window.
Kawhi Leonard will listen to other teams
“It looks like [Kawhi] is expected to re-sign with the Clippers, but sources informed me that he will listen to other teams.” @ChrisBHaynes on Kawhi Leonard’s free agency
Kawhi Leonard opting out, to become free agent
Chris Haynes: Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard is expected to decline his $36 million player option to become an unrestricted free agent, league sources tell @YahooSports.
Adrian Wojnarowski: Kawhi Leonard has declined his $36M player option for next season and becomes a free agent, per source. Now, the expectation is that Leonard will negotiate a new deal to stay with Clippers. @Chris Haynes first on declining option.
Andrew Greif: Obviously, today is notable for being Kawhi Leonard’s deadline to decide whether to exercise his player option for next season. But also today, Terance Mann’s $1.7 million salary for next season became guaranteed. High expectations await following his breakout second season.
