An official trade call with the NBA is still to be scheduled.
Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, two unprotected first-round picks, one first-round pick swap and two second-rounders head to the Clippers.
Clippers general manager Trent Reddon led the team’s communication today with Toronto to get the blockbuster deal finalized.
The new Raptors lineup should make them a legitimate contender in the Eastern Conference.
The Raptors genuinely have one of the most stacked lineups in the NBA...

The trade was originally agreed to, in principle, 76 days ago. But nine days later it was put on pause, as both sides waited for the NBA's investigation into the Clippers alleged cap circumvention scandal involving Leonard. That came down 12 days ago, with the league severely punishing the Clippers by stripping them of five first-round picks and fining them $30M, plus suspending owner Steve Ballmer and others.
The Clippers will now get at least some of that high-end draft capital back with this deal.
Kawhi has already been working out with Raptors players in an unofficial minicamp down in Florida the past week.
