It has been a couple weeks since Kawhi Leonard requested a trade from the San Antonio Spurs, and with every passing day the picture seems to get clearer about where he could end up.
The BetDSI Sportsbook released a future on where Leonard is going to end up, with a couple of surprising odds. The Boston Celtics come in with the best odds at +175, while the Philadelphia 76ers come in with the second-best odds at +285.

The most surprising team comes in with the third best odds is the Orlando Magic who come in at +350, and ahead of the Spurs.
The Magic haven't really had much success since trading Dwight Howard, and they are desperate to have a superstar to build around.
Leonard will be a free agent after this upcoming season, so it would be a big risk for the Magic to take, to trade a guy who could walk after one season, but if they could get an agreement in place for a long-term deal it would make sense to pull the trigger.
It really isn't a surprise that the Celtics come in with the best odds, because they can probably offer the best package to get him. They have Jaylen Brown who is a coveted asset and would be a good haul back for the Spurs if they decide to make the trade.
If the Celtics were to trade for Leonard, they would be the favorites in the Eastern Conference, and they probably could make a pretty good run at the Golden State Warriors.
