Kawhi Leonard trade: Lakers sent interesting message because of 76ers and Celtics
That’s according to NFL star-turned-pundit Cris Carter, who rules the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers would be wasting their time trading for Leonard this summer.
Leonard’s future remains the big talking point in the NBA with reports stating the San Antonio Spurs are welcoming trade offers.
Gregg Popovich is still keen to keep the two-time All-Star, but are open to listen to offers with Leonard hitting free agency in 2019.
They have so far been unimpressed with packages offered by the Lakers and recent reports have suggested the 76ers and Celtics could be monitoring the situation.
Leonard’s situation has drawn some similarities with Paul George where he too spoke of his desire to head to Los Angeles last year, before the Oklahoma City Thunder took a risk to sign him for one year and it paid off with the 28-year-old deciding to re-sign.
