Leonard 20 18, Leonard made up his mind to leave the Spurs and seek better development for his career, but he also said that if his team is not in Los Angeles, he will not renew his contract after the end. So the teams that pursued Leonard at that time were mainly Lakers and Clippers. At that time, the Lakers really tried hard to get Leonard. At that time, both fans and major teams thought Leonard had a great chance to join the Lakers. The Lakers were willing to pay Ying Ge, Kuzma and Randall a first-round signing price to get Leonard, but when Leonard announced that he would join LA, the Lakers lowered their chips.
The 76 ers also took part in Leonard's game, but the two sides failed to negotiate, so the deal was not completed. At that time, Leonard had said that he would not renew his contract with a team outside Los Angeles, which meant that the 76ers could only get the right to use for one year. Even so, they are willing to pay Covington, Saric and the first round of signing chips.
The Cavaliers were in a chaotic period at that time. They were willing to pay players such as sexton, Osman, Little Nancy and Clarkson to get Leonard, and said that love could also be used as a bargaining chip, but the Spurs were not interested in these players.
Celtics and Raptors offered Hayward+rosier, while Spurs wanted rosier, but Hayward's current contract was totally unqualified, so he didn't agree. In the end, the Raptors got even better, and took out the team's top star Demar demar derozan as a bargaining chip, so that they got the first round of signing and got Leonard. Not long ago, the team said that Demar DeRozan was the cornerstone of the team, and turned around and traded him for Leonard.
