Word emerged a couple weeks ago Kawhi Leonard wants to leave the Spurs – ideally for Los Angeles, particularly the Lakers.
Then, LeBron James agreed to sign with the Lakers.
That has made Leonard less interested in the Lakers and more interested in the Clippers, according to Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports.
On the other hand…
Leonard has been very consistent – well, really, privately – that he wants to go to the Lakers.
It’d be easy to chalk up Charania’s scoop as San Antonio trying to create leverage in trade talks by projecting multiple suitors for Leonard, and maybe that’s all this is. But Charania appears too plugged-in with Leonard to dismiss.
Then again, the reliable Wojnarowski is saying the opposite.
It’s becoming increasingly clear we know far less about Leonard than we thought. The quiet superstar’s intentions remain mysterious.
