If Kawhi Leonard keeps the NBA waiting on his decision past noon on Saturday, the Los Angeles Lakers will likely need to push back the date of when the Anthony Davis trade becomes official.
Leonard has been deciding between the Toronto Raptors, Lakers and LA Clippers. If the best available free agent doesn't make his decision by noon Eastern on Saturday, the Lakers would need New Orleans Pelicans, Atlanta Hawks and Washington Wizards to cooperate on pushing back the July 6 date -- the earliest the trade can be made official -- agreed upon on the Davis deal.
