Former LA Clippers staffer makes ‘he knows’ point about Kawhi Leonard’s future amid Aspiration controversy

Kawhi Leonard will be shown LA Clippers exit by 2027, he knows this isn’t his team anymore

ESPN’s Baxter Holmes put out an extensive report about the LA Clippers’ history dealing with Kawhi Leonard.

Towards the close of the report, Holmes revealed that multiple NBA executives expect Kawhi Leonard to leave the Clippers in 2027. In fact, internally, both sides know the Clippers aren’t prioritizing Leonard.

“Multiple GMs and other league executives said they expect Leonard to play out his contract with the Clippers, which is set to end after the 2026-27 season.

“But even then, one former staffer said, the organization’s focus has shifted. ‘They’re done building around [Kawhi],’ he said. ‘They know that and he knows that.’”
