Lawrence Frank Told Doc Rivers Kawhi Leonard Was Signing With Lakers Or Raptors Before Paul George Trade

Through all of the drama to begin the 2019 NBA offseason, the Los Angeles Lakers still traded for Anthony Davis and created a max-contract slot to sign a third All-Star player.

While there was momentum in Kawhi Leonard signing with the Lakers, he ultimately signed with the Los Angeles Clippers once the Paul George trade surprisingly happened.

Instead of a historic Big 3 on the Lakers, Leonard’s decision created parity in the league for the first time in five seasons as the Golden State Warriors are no longer the favorites.
