Because the NBA apparently literally does not sleep anymore, I’m here past 1 a.m. PST to bring you news that the San Antonio Spurs and Toronto Raptors are in the middle of “serious” trade talks that would send Kawhi Leonard to Canada, according to Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports:
San Antonio and Toronto are engaged in serious talks on a trade centered on Kawhi Leonard and DeMar DeRozan, league sources tell Yahoo.

Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN followed that up soon after:
Toronto is close to a deal to acquire Spurs All-Star Kawhi Leonard, league sources tell @ChrisBHaynes and me.
