Kawhi Leonard has never been one to mince words in the media, and the man of few words almost always makes a stir when he does speak because it isn’t often that he does. <\/strong><\/p>\n

With the NBA season on the horizon and pre-season games already underway, the teams are fine-tuning and seeing their new additions play out on the court. <\/p>\n

Kawhi Leonard, who played 68 games last season for the LA Clippers, is back in the training camp<\/a>, and the target, as always, is a championship. <\/p>\n

The Clippers finished fourth in the Western Conference last season but Dallas Mavericks sent them packing<\/a> in the first round of the playoffs. <\/p>\n

That is undoubtedly not good enough and the Clippers responded to Paul George’s departure<\/a> by strengthening their overall squad. <\/p>\n

Kawhi Leonard on LA Clippers’ additions<\/h2>\n

Clippers’ off-season wasn’t off to the best start when the Philadelphia 76ers handed Paul George a four-year, $212 million contract<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Clippers then re-routed and gave James Harden a two-year $70 million contract<\/a>, while trying to regain the defensive solidity they lost by adding the likes of Derick Jones Jr and Kris Dunn, among others. <\/p>\n

Ahead of their pre-season game vs the Golden State Warriors, which they would go on to lose 91-90, Leonard was asked about his thoughts on the addition. <\/p>\n

Leonard, as brutally honest as ever, didn’t flinch before saying that he had been observing his new teammates but “nobody stood out to me so far”. <\/p>\n

He said: “Just the new guys, I’ve been watching them. Seeing how they develop, watching them from day one, seeing their progression but nobody stood out to me so far.”<\/p>\n
