It was announced that Kwahi Leonard will sign a four-year $142 maximum contract. Kwahi is coming off of a Finals MVP performance and has a chance to recreate it again. Kwahi Leonard shocked the NBA world going there, because it was presumed he was going to the Lakers. It was the assumption around the league that the Clippers were out of the race for Leonard and it was a two team race between the Lakers and the Raptors. The Clippers pulled off the Finals MVP to pair up with another All-Star.
In a surprising trade, the Clippers pulled off NBA All-Star Paul George. The Clippers sent Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Danilo Gallinari, and 4 first round picks to the Thunder in exchange for Paul George. George reported asked for a trade from the Thunder a few days ago. Kwahi Leonard has been trying to convince Paul George to join him in LA to create a new super-team in Los Angeles.
The Clippers last night became the favorites for the NBA Championship, in Vegas the Clippers are +275 to win. Without any Superstars the Clippers went to the playoffs and took the Warriors to 6 games in the playoffs, now they will add a Finals MVP and a finalist for MVP last year. The Clippers will own Los Angeles as they added 2 LA natives.
