The Dallas Mavericks reportedly “don't know yet” if they are going to be able to secure a meeting with Kawhi Leonard once free agency starts on June 30, according to Mike Fisher of 247 Sports. The Mavs have around $30 million in cap space this summer.

Leonard becomes an unrestricted free agent this offseason. The two-time Finals MVP is widely expected to either re-sign with the Toronto Raptors or join the Los Angeles Clippers.

Fisher reports the Mavs will obviously meet with Leonard should he want to have a meeting with owner Mark Cuban, but that Dallas isn't expecting that to come to fruition.

 It would, an NBA source tells me, “take something crazy” for Kawhi Leonard to meet with the Dallas Mavericks and then team up with them via free agency.

One NBA source tells me that the Mavs “don't know yet” if they are going to be able to secure a meeting with Kawhi — though I would add, at the risk of being obvious, that they would be delighted to be involved in such a meeting.

I was also told it would take something “crazy” for this all to come together. “Crazy” maybe meaning that Kawhi is likely to be busy with the Raptors and the Clippers while Dallas is busy with Kemba Walker and other ideas.

Yes, Leonard is a “crazy” guy who could shock the world this summer and sign with the Mavs. However, the odds aren't in Dallas' favor.

Kawhi has been linked to the Clippers for quite some time now. The entire league would be shocked if Leonard isn't with the Raptors or Clippers in 2018-19.
