Contrary to popular belief, the race to acquire the long-term services of Kawhi Leonard might no longer be a two-horse race. Originally, it seemed like only the Toronto Raptors and the Los Angeles Clippers were in the running for the two-time Finals MVP, with the Lakers cap frailties proving to be the pioneer of their downfall in the hunt for another star.
The news first broke by Adrian Wojnarowski on Thursday afternoon has shifted that presumption entirely.
The Lakers are trading Mo Wagner, Isaac Bonga and Jemerrio Jones to Wizards as part of the Anthony Davis deal with New Orleans, league sources tell @ZachLowe_NBA and me.
