Lakers Legend Makes Surprising Claim About Kawhi Leonard Potential Trade

Kawhi Leonard is related to several teams as he is expected to leave the Toronto Raptors this summer. The star player was also linked with the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Clippers are considered a favorite.

Lakers legend Byron Scott says that the Clippers are a much better option than LeBron James’ team. Leonard is the top targets for the Lakers this offseason, and he was brilliant in the 2019 NBA Playoffs. That’s why many people are interested in his game.

The 27-year-old star broke a few records so far, but most fans are thrilled to see that he led the Toronto Raptors to their first NBA Finals appearance. Leonard will take the Raptors a step further and give the city their very first NBA championship win.

The Golden State Warriors will confront Leonard’s team. DeMarcus Cousins and Kevin Durant are expected to come for the Finals.

Leonard convinced everyone that his only goal is to win a championship, we can’t ignore the fact that he will become a free agent in a month.

Even before Leonard was traded to Toronto, it was reported that he wanted to go back home in LA. The reports weren’t shut down, and there were so many rumors suggesting that Leonard wants to go to Los Angeles. The Clippers did some low-key recruiting and sent execs to watch Leonard in action.

The Lakers didn’t hide their interest in the player, and there was a huge dose of optimism among Lakers fans. LeBron James joined the team a year ago, but the hopes were shut down when Magic Johnson left the front office.

Scott won three NBA titles as a Lakers player, and he advised Leonard to consider joining the Clippers over LeBron’s team.

“If you want to come to L.A., I might say, ‘Let me look at the Clippers first,'” Scott said on ESPN’s The Jump.

“If I am Kawhi Leonard and I’m getting pursued by both L.A. teams, I think I’m gonna take a harder look at the Clippers because of the stability that they have.”

Let’s see what happens next season. Things are getting really interesting at the moment.
