Kawhi Back to Toronto, Wolves Missed Out | Minnesota Timberwolves News
Description
Kawhi Leonard’s return to Toronto in a blockbuster trade with the LA Clippers just before free agency blew up the NBA landscape — and Minnesota’s desperate, risky pursuit of him? That’s the story. The Raptors landed Ingram, Dick, and a haul of future picks, while the Wolves, who had eyed Leonard as a last-ditch star upgrade after snagging LaMelo Ball, were shut down by Kawhi’s camp. At 35 with one year left, Leonard’s fit with Minnesota’s young core was questionable — and the cost to trade Gobert and gut the roster? Too steep. Toronto, meanwhile, had the picks and the promise of an extension to make it work. Smart move for the Raptors, and Minnesota’s gamble? A costly misstep.
