The trio immediately vaults the Lakers as heavy favorites to win the title next season. The Lakers will now roll out a starting five of LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, Kyle Kuzma, Anthony Davis, and likely a cheap veteran point guard for the 2019-20 season.
Leonard most recently led the Toronto Raptors to the 2019 NBA championship while winning NBA Finals MVP against the mighty Golden State Warriors. He put up 26.6 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game last season.
