With the organization expecting to pursue Milwaukee Bucks<\/a> Giannis Antetokounmpo again, many will be eager to see if the seven-time NBA champions will complete the biggest deal of the summer.<\/p>\n

However, Los Angeles Clippers<\/a> standout forward Kawhi Leonard was regarded as a sleeper alternative trade target for the Dubs this year, and many believe that\u2019ll also be the case in the offseason.<\/p>\n

ESPN\u2019s Anthony Slater agrees, recently citing that <\/a>he\u2019s an asset that will be linked to Golden State.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019d (Leonard) be an obvious Warriors candidate as well,\u201d Slater said Friday. \u201cObviously, they\u2019ve been in the Giannis chase, but they need a big wing who can score and defend.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leonard wouldn\u2019t be a bad option for the Warriors to pivot to if they fall short in the Antetokounmpo sweepstakes again.<\/p>\n

After all, the 34-year-old is having an outstanding season in Los Angeles, averaging 27.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 3.7 assists, and 2.1 assists on a Clippers squad that has emerged as a potential playoff team following a slow start to the year.<\/p>\n

Leonard is also shooting above 36% from three for the 7th consecutive season, showcasing his consistency from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n

Snagging a dynamic and accomplished two-way wing like Leonard, who isn\u2019t a stranger to winning championships as a top scoring option\/playmaker, would be a wise option.<\/p>\n
