Kawhi Leonard ‘Will Not Join the Lakers’; Does Not Want to Play in LeBron’s Shadow

Rose credentialed himself by saying he was the one who told the world the situation with the Spurs was fractured back in January.
Rose says if Leonard does end up playing in the rumored city, Los Angeles, it will be for the Clippers.

This is on par with what Spurs reporter Michael C. Wright said in January that Leonard prefers the Clippers because he does not want to play “second fiddle” to LeBron. NBA Insider Shams Charania also said on The Herd in July, LeBron joining the Lakers if anything will push Leonard more towards the Clippers.

The reality is, we’re never going to know what’s true until something happens due to the ridiculous amount of conflicting reports surrounding star players. However, it does make sense that Leonard may want his own team. The Los Angeles Clippers and  Toronto Raptors can offer him that opportunity.
