With the NBA Draft less than 24 hours away a surprise team has emerged in the pursuit to trade for Kawhi Leonard. According to @KellyIkoNBA the Los Angeles Clippers are in an aggressive pursuit to trade for the 2x DPOY.
Re Kawhi: I’ve been told Jerry West is running point on all attempts to acquire him via trade, and he doesn’t want the Clippers to remain second-fiddle in LA. He will be aggressive during the Draft—Picks 12 and 13 are in play, along with multiple players.

Kawhi has Los Angeles at the top of his locations he wants to be traded to preferably the Lakers, but would someone like Kawhi who does not want to be in the lime light and wants to be a quiet superstar prefer the Clippers to the Lakers? One thing for certain on Draft Night is that no one knows what to expect and that this night will set the tone for the rest of the NBA off-season.
