This comes as a complete shock to the league, as Leonard was expected to sign with either the Los Angeles Lakers or Toronto Raptors, with the Clippers having a slim chance to sign the superstar.
This is unfortunate news for the Lakers, as most of the big name free agents are now off the board. The team had awaited Leonard’s decision before signing any other free agents to preserve its max slot.
