The Los Angeles Lakers have arguably one of the best rosters on paper in the entire NBA with LeBron James and Anthony Davis leading the way surrounded by solid role players.
This fact makes it even crazier to fathom that the Lakers had a legitimate shot to sign Kawhi Leonard as their third All-Star player.
Due to a blockbuster deal that sent Paul George to the Los Angeles Clippers, Leonard found himself signing with the Los Angeles Clippers, creating a second All-Star tandem in the city. However, there was a time when the Lakers were the frontrunner to land Leonard and the Clippers even felt that had they not made the deal for George, he would be wearing purple and gold right now.
