While Kawhi Leonard has been silent with the media, Bruce Arthur of the Toronto Star said on the Back To Back Podcast on Wednesday that he has been in conversations with other impending 2019 free agents about possibly playing together.

"One thing I was told last night is that Kawhi Leonard had already been planning out his free agency for next year and he had already been in contact with other star players in the league and saying 'Hey, where might you want to play with me? What are we looking at?'

"It wasn't just L.A. he was talking about," added Arthur. "Brooklyn was maybe somewhere. They're going to have a ton of cap space. That might have been a possibility.

"So Kawhi has already been thinking ahead to pairing up and playing at a highest level."

The 2019 free agent class includes Leonard, Kyrie Irving, Jimmy Butler, Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant.

Who is he talking to? Klay and Durant are not likley to leave, so who is he talking to? Kyrie?

Kawhi doesn't talk. Maybe they meant he chatted with them on ICQ.

Maybe he's talking to Klay and KD about playing with them for the MLE.

You're implying that he can type which is even more far-fetched.

He's a robot. He communicates via Wi-Fi
