Magic Johnson Applauds Clippers On Signing Kawhi Leonard, Lakers ‘Ain’t Going Anywhere’

On what was perhaps the craziest night in recent memory, Kawhi Leonard shocked the sports world by signing with the Los Angeles Clippers.

Leonard spoke with the Los Angeles Lakers in the form of general manager Rob Pelinka and owner Jeanie Buss. And in the process of spurning the Lakers — who played a week-long waiting game for the two-time NBA Finals MVP — Leonard also brought with him Paul George.

Leonard and George will now create a superstar tandem in the same building as James and Anthony Davis with both teams being serious championship contenders for the first time.
