After Kevin Durant<\/a> went down with a ruptured Achilles in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, Kawhi Leonard<\/a> became the most important free agent in the 2019 class. All Leonard did this season was lead Toronto to it's first NBA championship while earning his second NBA Finals MVP award. Rumors were swirling that Leonard would leave the Raptors for one of his hometown teams in Los Angeles, and the Lakers threw their name into the Kawhi sweepstakes. Ultimately Leonard signed with the Clippers, orchestrating a deal for the team to land Paul George from Oklahoma City in the process. Some Lakers fans believe that Leonard waited to make his decision on purpose, so that the team couldn't sign any other top free agents. We will dive into that accusation today and determine whether he waited so long to sabotage the Lakers<\/a> chances.
