Kawhi Leonard’s Reaction To Suns Trading For Kevin Durant
Kawhi Leonard’s Reaction To Suns Trading For Kevin Durant
Kawhi Leonard’s Los Angeles Clippers had a very active NBA Trade Deadline.
The team acquired Eric Gordon, Mason Plumlee and Bones Hyland, and in the process really shored up a lot of areas that had been considered weaknesses.
Just when it looked as though L.A. had set itself up to be a title contender, though – the Phoenix Suns swooped in and acquired Kevin Durant from the Brooklyn Nets.
To say that the move completely altered the landscape in the Western Conference would be an understatement.
Leonard ultimately had a very on-brand reaction to the deal.
“Oh,” he said to NBA insider Ohm Youngmisuk in response to the move.
The responses to Leonard’s commentary were largely what one would expect from NBA fans.
A man of few words and few games https://t.co/GJRXoPlVM7

It will be interesting to see how the Clippers respond.
They are currently in the running for one notable post-buyout candidate, but still have some real concerns about him.
Kay Adams is now the early frontrunner to win Super Bowl MVP. https://t.co/DjzlIT81ed

Where all parties involved go remains to be seen.
Either way, the Clippers are clearly gearing up for a late-season title run. Will they be successful? Time will tell.
