If Leonard is traded this year, it will, in all likelihood, be to an Eastern Conference team. The Lakers are trying hard to get a trade with Denver that will send Ball and the Deng contract out the door for a first round draft pick in return but this is dying as well.
The Deng contract is killing the chances and all of this along with the notion that SA is getting more adamant about sending Leonard east in conjunction with the deal being contingent on sending Ingram and the acquired draft pick from Denver to SA for Leonard is also going south rapidly as well.
Apparently Magic has come to his senses (if he ever left them) that he did not want to send SA basically the entire kiddie corp and two number ones for Leonard. That was way too steep a price as the negotiations came to the final demand of a trade package by SA of the Lakers sending Ingram, Kuzma, and two number ones for Leonard. Magic apparently did not want to part ways with Kuzma. Period.
