The Warriors reportedly tried hard to acquire multiple veteran superstars before the NBA’s Feb. 5 trade deadline.

Golden State seemingly pushed all its chips in for Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, and also had interest in Los Angeles Clippers star forward Kawhi Leonard.

Not only did the Warriors have interest in Leonard, but they came close to landing the seven-time All-Star, the San Francisco Standard’s Tim Kawakami reported in a story published Thursday, citing league sources.

“Multiple league sources indicated this week that the Warriors were reasonably close to trading for Kawhi Leonard last February — apparently with much of the deal terms generally agreed to — before the Clippers ultimately decided to pull out of the talks,” Kawakami wrote.

“Those same sources said that it’s understood around the league that the Warriors will continue to pursue big names to complete a glamor starting lineup that would also include Curry, Draymond, Jimmy Butler (when he’s healthy), and maybe [Kristaps] Porziņģis.”

Leonard could be a viable option for the Warriors this offseason, either through a trade with the Clippers, or, if his contract were to be voided due to a possible league punishment from the ongoing salary-cap circumvention investigation, in unrestricted free agency.

The 34-year-old forward, in 60 games with the Clippers this season, is averaging a career-high 28.1 points, 6.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game on 50.3-percent shooting from the field and 38 percent from 3-point range.

Alongside a healthy Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler, and potentially Porziņģis, if the Warriors were to re-sign him this offseason, Leonard certainly would elevate an impressive veteran lineup.
