Dallas Mavericks pursue trade for Kawhi Leonard from Clippers

The Dallas Mavericks are in discussions to trade for Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard. New president of basketball operations Masai Ujiri seeks to reunite with Leonard, who he successfully brought to Toronto in the past. The proposed deal would involve sharing players like P.J. Washington and Klay Thompson, along with draft picks. Leonard has a year remaining on his contract valued at $53 million and is set to become an unrestricted free agent next summer if he does not sign an extension. His average of 27.9 points per game last season highlights his performance potential.
