What happened: The agreed return sends Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, two unprotected first-round picks, a first-round swap and two second-rounders to Los Angeles. Per ESPN sources, both clubs agreed to move the deal to completion Monday.

Why it matters: Toronto anchors its 2026-27 rotation around Leonard while Los Angeles restocks with youth and five draft assets. The completion step follows months of hold while approval paperwork sat unfiled, with the league saying it was not blocking the Kawhi Leonard deal first framed in July.

What to watch: Watch for the sides to schedule the trade call and file approval paperwork for league sign-off.
