With free agency coming settling down, recent Lakers rumors have still been about Kawhi Leonard.
The Lakers made the decision to make a strong run at Kawhi Leonard, as it looked like they had a strong chance of landing him. With LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and a max contract available, the Lakers certainly made a lot of sense for Leonard.
However, recent reports are that there was really no shot that Leonard was going to sign with the Lakers according to Marc Stein of The Undefeated.
“A source told The Undefeated early last week that there was ‘no way’ Leonard was going to sign as a free agent with James, Davis and the Lakers despite speculation they were the front-runners.
