The future of Kawhi Leonard at the Clippers is increasingly questioned by specialists … Many franchises are rumored, including one in particular, but according to Skip Bayless, it is the Lakers to watch on this file.
Kawhi Leonard arrived in Los Angeles in 2019 with a new NBA title won with the Raptors, and with Paul George, they had to change the image of eternal losers of the Clippers … It is clear that after two seasons the results are not not necessarily there, and the situation might not get better anytime soon.
Some important members of the workforce are free agents, such as Nicolas Batum, who has moreover sends a message to his franchise after the last loss to the Suns, and nothing says that the leaders will have the capacity to bring in big names during the offseason …
So after two failures in the playoffs and many uncertainties for the future, Kawhi Leonard could be tempted to pack his bags to find the Larry O’Brien trophy as soon as possible. A franchise is a favorite in the minds of many executives, but for Skip Bayless, it is the Lakers who must be watched in this matter.
I wouldn’t be shocked if Kawhi Leonard signed for the Lakers. I know I was very shocked when he didn’t sign for the Lakers in 2019… I thought it was a joke when I saw him in a Clippers jersey, would it be a joke if he decided to join the Purple and Gold now? Not at all !
After two seasons, Kawhi Leonard may be thinking that it is too difficult to go for a title with the Clippers…. And since he loves his hometown and will no doubt refuse to leave it, he may well ask to be traded to the nemesis! It’s a scenario that seems unlikely, but Skip Bayless wants to believe it.
If all the teams are 100% physically next season, a Kawhi Leonard – Anthony Davis – LeBron James trio would only be matched by the Big 3 of the Nets! After all the waiting for this year, the fans could finally revel in these exceptional Finals…. But that seems very unlikely.
Kawhi Leonard will he dare this big betrayal? It seems unlikely, but in the NBA nothing is impossible …
