Kawhi Leonard is likely to leave the Los Angeles Clippers after declining a contract extension.
What happened?
The Clippers and Raptors are in trade talks, but the process has stalled due to the Clippers' demand for more assets in return.
Chris Haynes, a respected NBA insider, reported that the Clippers want more than what the Raptors are offering.
Why it matters for Kawhi Leonard
Leonard's current contract has only one guaranteed year left, putting pressure on teams to trade for him only if they know he'll sign an extension.
The Raptors are the only team that Leonard's camp has indicated he would be willing to extend with.
What comes next?
The Clippers prefer a package including Collin Murray-Boyles, a young talent coming off a stellar rookie season, over Gradey Dick.
Other teams, such as the Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs, have also been rumored to be interested in trading for Leonard.
The Raptors have a fair chance of landing Kawhi, who won an NBA Championship with them in 2019.
Kawhi's desire to sign an extension with the Raptors may ruin the Clippers' trade market.
The Clippers are willing to move Leonard now, but they want more assets in return.
