Free agency has been interesting since opening on June 30 at 6pm.
Last week The Clippers surprised everyone when they Acquired Kawhi Leonard and Paul George (Via trade). But before this pairing between Leonard and George became official it’s being reported that Kawhi called Irving and wanted to team up.
Reports are that Kawhi was trying to do some recruiting of his own. The first player he wanted to pair with was Kevin Durant. Talks didn’t go far because Kawhi wanted a west coast team and Durant wanted to be in New York. Kahwi then called Irving to see if he would be interested via Bleacher Report, but as we know he ended up teaming with Durant in Brooklyn.
After Durant and Irving to Brooklyn was a done deal, Kawhi then focused his attention on recruiting Paul George where the Clippers eventually made the deal allowing Paul George to team up Kahwi Leonard In Los Angeles.
