Kawhi Leonard reportedly has a limited list of teams he would consider committing to long term if he and the Clippers are unable to reach an extension and he is traded.
Leonard is entering the final year of his contract and has made it clear that his preference is to remain in Los Angeles.
However, if negotiations with the Clippers fail, league sources say he would only be willing to sign an extension with either the Raptors or Spurs, the two franchises he previously played for.
Teams such as the Pistons and Heat are reportedly not viewed as long-term destinations by Leonard, which could significantly impact his trade market.
Although the Warriors have previously shown interest, their status in any potential pursuit remains unclear.
Toronto is believed to have genuine interest in a reunion, and Leonard is reportedly open to returning to the Raptors.
The organization has also indicated it plans to remain aggressive in exploring opportunities to improve its roster.
Meanwhile, the Clippers continue working toward keeping Leonard in Los Angeles and are still attempting to strengthen the team around him as extension talks continue.
