Wojnarowski made the comments on “Get Up!” Tuesday. Another report came from ESPN’s Damon Jones on Friday, which stated the Lakers are a “strong possibility” for Leonard in free agency. “No. 1, they don’t have the money to sign him and (No.) 2, the idea of him being a third wheel on a team trying to create a superteam, that has not been Kawhi’s M....
Leonard went down in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals back in June, de-railing what was another dominating postseason run. Averaging 30.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.1 steals per game while shooting 57.3 percent from the field and 39.3 percent from 3, there wasn’t much hope that the Clippers could continue on without their superstar.
