Kawhi Leonard is now a free agent, with the Atlanta Hawks emerging as a potential suitor. The Hawks, known for their strong defense, could pair Kawhi with Dyson Daniels and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, creating a formidable perimeter defense. The trade could happen now or during free agency, with the Hawks potentially offering CJ McCollum, Zaccharie Risacher, Corey Kispert, and picks for Kawhis expiring deal.
