The Cleveland Cavaliers are building a contender, and their next move could be a blockbuster trade for Kawhi Leonard. The team has been on the market to take the next step, but their paths to do so are limited at best. Cleveland was briefly in the Giannis Antetokounmpo sweepstakes in a potential Evan Mobley swap, but the Cavaliers are hesitant to lose their homegrown All-Star. Adding a go-to scorer and two-way talent on the wing could be the final piece to elevate the Cavaliers. If Cleveland wants to make a deal, calling up Kawhi Leonard's old squad could be the perfect solution. Kawhi Leonard, though notorious for injuries, has enjoyed reliable health in three of his last four seasons. At 34 years old, Leonard is not the league's best defender of old, but he is still a quality two-way talent and is capable of impacting the game on and off the ball on offense. In a Leonard trade, the Cavaliers could stack together Jarrett Allen with the team's three mid-sized contracts in Max Strus, Dennis Schröder, and Sam Merrill. In return, the LA Clippers would send back Leonard and power forward Isaiah Jackson. Last season, Kawhi averaged 27.9 points and 6.4 rebounds per game, helping turn around the Clippers' disastrous opening weeks to the regular season. He earned All-NBA second team honors for the first time since 2021, showcasing just how well he has recovered from a string of injury-riddled seasons. Given his inflated contract, a trade for Kawhi Leonard would be a monumental task, but it could be the perfect solution for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
