[Kawakimi] The LA Clippers and Golden State Warriors had a deal centered around Clipppers superstar Kawhi Leonard with “much of the deal generally agreed to.” The LA Clippers appeared ready to deal Leonard to Golden State before pulling out of trade conversations.

To that point, multiple league sources indicated this week that the Warriors were reasonably close to trading for Kawhi Leonard last February — apparently with much of the deal terms generally agreed to — before the Clippers ultimately decided to pull out of the talks.
Those same sources said that it’s understood around the league that the Warriors will continue to pursue big names to complete a glamor starting lineup that would also include Curry, Draymond, Jimmy Butler (when he’s healthy), and maybe Porzingis.
Leonard’s name continues to be connected to possible Warriors moves.
