The Los Angeles Clippers and Raptors both agreed Monday to finalize the trade sending Kawhi Leonard to Toronto for Brandon Ingram (heel), Gradey Dick, two unprotected first-round picks, one first-round pick swap and two second-rounders, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.The deal, which was agreed to in principle June 30, was held up over two months due to the league's investigation involving salary-cap circumvention by Leonard and the Clippers.
