Steve Kyler of Basketball Insiders discussed how Kawhi Leonard, wherever he goes, wants to be the focal point of a team. Though it’s unknown if LeBron James joining the Los Angeles Lakers impacts this, since Leonard has wanted the Purple and Gold from the start of the trade hysteria.
Let’s say James with the Lakers causes Leonard to want to go elsewhere and helm a team as its star player. That’s fine, but the incumbent situation should make the most sense, right?
The Spurs have LaMarcus Aldridge, who proved he can headline an offense, as with the Portland Trail Blazers for nine seasons.
