Kawhi Leonard is drawing trade interest from the Toronto Raptors and Dallas Mavericks ahead of the NBA free agency period. The Raptors are reportedly exploring a deal without including RJ Barrett while considering offering Brandon Ingram. Leonard, who has one year left on his $50.3 million contract, previously played for Toronto when they won the NBA championship in 2019. Mavericks president Masai Ujiri, who acquired Leonard while with the Raptors, may be looking to add him to their roster. Leonard is under investigation alongside Clippers owner Steve Ballmer and his uncle/advisor Dennis Robertson regarding an alleged salary cap violation related to a ‘no-show’ agreement, which could influence the trade discussions.
