Before LeBron James signed with the LA Lakers tonight it was reported that he had spoken to Kawhi Leonard about teaming up in Los Angeles.

A source close to #LeBron tells me that #Kawhi Leonard reached out to James, telling him he very much wanted to play together. They spoke about Kawhi’s lockdown defensive ability, which would alleviate pressure off of LeBron.

From an offensive perspective, consider that #Kawhi converted a nearly identical clip as Kevin Durant in catch-and-shoot situations two years ago. In other words, he’s an ideal offensive fit for #LeBron as knockdown perimeter shooter, comfortable playing w/the ball dominant Bron.

Leonard has also reiterated that he wants to get traded to L.A.

Kuzma might want to chill on the tweeting because there’s a good possibility he could be traded in the next few weeks.
