Kawhi Leonard Out?! Jaylen Brown Snubbed From Team USA & Paul George’s Negotiations

Kawhi Leonard was pulled from Team USA's roster because the Los Angeles Clippers and "USA Staff" didn't want him to play, why? Then, why is Derrick White replacing Kawhi and not Jaylen Brown? Plus, Paul George explained his contract negotiation with the Clippers in-depth and more.

 

Nick Angstadt (@NickVanExit, Locked On Mavs) & PatTheDesigner (@PatTheDeisgner, Locked On Bulls) dive into the latest NBA news on today's episode of Locked On NBA. They discuss Kawhi Leonard's unexpected withdrawal from Team USA and debate whether Jaylen Brown should have been his replacement. The conversation shifts to the Clippers' future, examining the implications of Kawhi's absence and Paul George's contract negotiations. They also touch on the dynamics within Team USA, including a humorous segment on players' abilities to spin a basketball on their fingers. The episode wraps up with a light-hearted look at Steve Kerr's comments on LeBron James' practice habits and how it might fuel the ongoing LeBron vs. Michael Jordan debate.
