Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 3054148, member: 1969"] I don't think Leonard was going to do George dirty. I think the deal would have been contingent if Leonard was willing to sign with Toronto, and only completed then. The story goes that Ujiri realized that Leonard was not going to stay anyway and at this point it was all leverage from two sides. It was a case of a lot of people using leverage - Kawhi on the Clippers, his preferred choice, to make the big move, while he spent most of his time hanging out in Toronto the past few weeks/ - Presti trying to maximize his return, using Toronto against LA. At the end of the day Kawhi ended up where he wanted. The person, so far, that screwed up the Clippers the most may have been Presti. I think he shrewdly got Toronto involved to up the price. [/QUOTE]
