LAS VEGAS -- Kawhi Leonard talked with Paul George throughout the season about his contract negotiations and said he was not surprised when George left to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers.

In his first comments about George's departure, Leonard said Friday that he and George knew what needed to happen for the duo to stay together with the LA Clippers.

George ended up signing a four-year, $212 million deal in free agency with the Sixers.
