How Kawhi Leonard finessed the Los Angeles Clippers. The story of how Kawhi Leonard finessed the clippers starts all the way back in 2017, to be more specific, it starts in game 1 of the 2017 western conference finals between the San Antonio Spurs and the Golden State Warriors. In this game, Zaza Pachulia facilitated one of the dirtiest moves ever witnessed in the NBA playoffs, which ended up injuring Kawhi Leonard, an injury that would end his season. Little did everyone know that this injury would lead to the Toronto Raptors winning their first and only NBA championship. After Kawhi got injured the San Antonio Spurs ended up being knocked out of the NBA playoffs and a timetable was set for Kawhi Leonard to return the next season, but after time went by Kwahi refused to return the following season under the suspicion that his foot wasn't fully healed, Kawhi and the Spurs didn't see eye to eye , the doctors in the organization thought that Kawhi was healthy enough to return to full basketball duties. Kawhi sought a second opinion all the way in New York and confirmed his suspicion which embarrassed the Spurs' front office and the medical staff, so Greg Popovich enlisted Tony Parker to call out Kawhi Leonard in the media something that backfired because shortly after that Kawhi demanded a trade from the Spurs as the trust between him and the team was broken so the Spurs thought they would trade Kawhi to a place that was obscure in the NBA, a place where he would slip into irrelevancy and limit his chances of him winning a championship. but things actually panned out well for both the Raptors and Kawhi Because when he was in Toronto he got the chance to do load management and the Raptors won their first NBA Championship after that he signed with the clippers and his uncle demanded that the clippers give him a private jet and part ownership of the clippers, that he didn't get but he did get the clippers to trade for Paul George. but these days Kawhi barely plays while enjoying the money the clippers pay him to sit on the bench.
