Kawhi Leonard got what he wanted but it wasn’t the team he was asking to be traded to.
This morning, NBA confirmed that the San Antonio Spurs traded Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green to the Toronto Raptors for DeMar DeRozan, Jakob Poeltl and a 1st round pick next year.
Leonard told the Spurs that he wanted to be traded to the Lakers but Spurs have said that they wouldn’t trade their star to a team in the west.
DeRozan went on Instagram yesterday implying he was going to be traded to the Raptors.
Neither player seems to be happy about the move and Leonard still has to pass his physical.
Once the news broke, fans went ballistic on the blockbuster trade. Flip to see how fans are mad, happy and confused.
