Magic Johnson Believes Kawhi Leonard Would Have Signed With Lakers If No Paul George Trade

2019 NBA free agency seemed to be over before it started since by the time teams could officially talk to players, everyone already knew where they were headed.

All except for Kawhi Leonard who took his time in deciding whether to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, or Toronto Raptors.

Of course, Leonard decided to join the Clippers and he came with some backup as they pulled off the Paul George trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder. The move immediately catapulted the Clippers as arguably the favorite to win the 2020 NBA Finals.
