Mock trade discusses Stephen Curry teaming with Kawhi Leonard

Golden State Warriors are considering a significant offseason acquisition involving Kawhi Leonard of the Los Angeles Clippers, according to a mock trade proposal. The proposed deal would send Jimmy Butler III, along with the 11th pick in the 2026 NBA Draft and a first-round pick in 2031 to the Clippers. This speculation arises as the Warriors aim to enhance their roster to support Stephen Curry's pursuit of another championship before retirement. While the trade package includes future assets, it may not be sufficient to finalize the deal, given potential competition for Leonard.
