Kawhi Leonard is said to have accepted a contract extension that falls short of his potential maximum earnings. This decision was made with the expectation that it would facilitate the LA Clippers in retaining both Paul George and James Harden.
“With the conversation that I have with them about it, I think for the most part everybody is coming back,” Leonard said after the Clippers beat the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night. “So, with me signing an extension, I think it gives us a chance to sign both of those players.”
George mentioned that he and the Clippers are in the process of discussing a potential contract extension.
