Kawhi Leonard finished the 2020-2021 season with stellar averages. He had 30.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game. If not for an injury, the Clippers may have had a different ending to this year’s playoffs.
Leonard has only two ways to go from here. He either signs a better deal with the Los Angeles Clippers or he looks at another team. However, if news breaks that Kawhi Leonard is on the market and does not want to remain at LA, every team will try and bring him onto their roster.
