Kawhi Leonard remains a name to watch in the hours leading up to the start of the NBA free agency period on June 30.
The Toronto Raptors and the Dallas Mavericks appear interested in exploring a trade with the Los Angeles Clippers, if they are willing to move on from Leonard.

Leonard has just one year left on his current contract and would make $50.3 million next season. If he does not sign an extension, he will become a free agent in 2027. The 7-time All-Star played in 65 games last season, averaging 27.9 points, 6.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists.
Toronto would serve as familiar territory for Leonard, as he helped lead the franchise to its NBA championship in 2019.
The Raptors would rather trade Brandon Ingram in the potential deal for Leonard rather than including RJ Barrett, according to NBA insider Jake Fischer.
