After the Los Angeles Clippers traded James Harden and Ivica Zubac, it stood to reason that Kawhi Leonard could be gettable as well before the Feb. 5 trade deadline.
And the Warriors reportedly made a push for him.
“The Warriors made what has been described as a determined trade run at the Clippers’ Kawhi Leonard in the final hour before the Feb. 5 trade buzzer sounded under the belief that Leonard might be unexpectedly unavailable after LA agreed to ship Ivica Zubac to Indiana,” The Stein Line’s Marc Stein wrote Sunday. “The Clippers ultimately balked then, but it is reasonable to presume that Golden State will investigate that possibility once again.”
Leonard is signed through the 2026-27 season. The 34-year-old will make $50.3 million next season.
