Should Leonard not be offered the supermax deal he wants, the Spurs are expected to trade him and a number of teams, including the Los Angeles Clippers, are understood to be already working on a trade package.
According to Brian Windhorst of ESPN, Leonard’s future will have major repercussions on what happens to LeBron.
“Where Kawhi ends up this season will have a direct impact on where LeBron ends up even if they don’t play together,” he told on SportsNation earlier this week.
“They will be linked in where their futures will be.”
The prospects of LeBron and Leonard both moving to the same team remain remote, so signing the former could put a franchise out of the running for the latter and vice versa.
However, Windhorst suggested the Sixers could potentially secure both players, a move which would dramatically alter the NBA landscape.
“I could construct you a way where [the Sixers] could trade for Kawhi Leonard and sign LeBron James,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Lakers have set their sights firmly on LeBron and Paul George but they could also be monitoring Leonard’s situation as they can clear out salary space for two max-level contracts this summer.
