Draymond Green: "I think wishing that the NBA took $50 million from a player is disgusting. I think it's purely disgusting. I like Gallo, I like Gallo a lot actually, but this is, this is disgusting to me. And the reason this is disgusting because number one, I don't, I don't want anyone getting fined. I think that, I think that shit is whack. You can go back and look where I said if this is true, I hope the punishment is they dismantle the CBA, not take $50 million out of Kawhi Leonard's pocket. That's so whack and I can't believe he said that."
Draymond Green: "Kawhi Leonard does not have the power to trade a player. He can request, hey, I want y'all to go out there and get this guy, but he don't have the ability to make that trade. That franchise have to agree, just like they had to agree that they were going to circumvent the cap. He can't make them do that. These are decisions that that franchise made. So in turn, you must have left a big enough impact on that franchise. But to blame another player and say he should have to pay off $50 million back, that shit is whack."
Draymond Green: Galinari is one of those guys who was extremely talented, who would give you fits, but was a little lazy. Uh, one of those guys who was not known as someone who give their all to the game of basketball. Uh, one of those guys who come in with a random back injury. One of those guys who isn't always in tip-top basketball shape because the word around him is he don't really care. To put your career mishaps on Kawhi Leonard coming to the Clippers and then you getting traded..
Draymond Green Show: Draymond reacts to Danilo Gallinari's comments on Kawhi Leonard "I think wishing the NBA took $50 million from a player is disgusting... that also wasn't his first time being traded, so for him to sit and act as if Kawhi Leonard ruined his career, that's bulls**t... I think Gallinari would choose Paul George over himself and if you won't, that's crazy, that's ridiculous... Kawhi Leonard does not have the power to trade a player, he can request... but he don't have the ability to make that trade."

Pablo Torre Finds Out: NEW: The DOJ could build a criminal conspiracy case against Steve Ballmer and the Clippers for securities fraud in the Kawhi Leonard scandal, former federal prosecutors tell @PabloTorre. "Even in 2026, a creative theory could map out a road to jail time." And that's before Trump gets involved.
Kawhi Leonard made his intentions clear. “I’m not really championship chasing trying to find the best team I could win (with),” Leonard said on the Raptors’ Open Gym YouTube channel. “I didn’t want to put on a thousand jerseys. The city took a liking to my family, I took a liking to the city. Really enjoyed it. My son was born here and he’s been asking me forever when he’s going to come back.”
Darko Rajaković to Kawhi Leonard: "I want to tell you a funny story. I was working with San Antonio. I was coaching in Europe and I was their international scout. So the day you got drafted, I was with San Antonio in the draft room. I was part of the trade. I was like seven people. There was Lindsey, RC, coach Pop, I was there with like a couple of scouts. And when we traded George Hill and we got your draft rights, I was there when you got drafted."

Danilo Gallinari: "That was the first time where I got traded not because of an owner or GM or coach situation or request. It was clearly a player request that didn't like what he saw. He wanted his friend or whatever relationship was there with Paul George, and so that was what I didn't like. I didn't say anything bad."
APHoops: Kawhi Leonard says he did not rejoin the Toronto Raptors in order to chase a championship, via @Raptors . “I’m not really championship chasing or trying to find the best team that can win. I didn’t want to put on a thousand jerseys. My family took a liking to the city. I enjoyed it. My son was born here.”
Marley Dickinson: Kawhi Leonard's son might be doing more for the #Raptors than Drake: "My son was born here. He's been asking me forever when he's going to come back. "Now he's back; he's able to see it rather than me telling him the great stories."
