The NBA world erupted on Friday night, as it was reported by Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports that Kawhi Leonard will be joining the Los Angeles Clippers for the upcoming season.
The Miami Heat reportedly had a slim shot at signing Leonard in a sign-and-trade deal. Nonetheless, former Heat superstar Dwyane Wade, current Heat big man Bam Adebayo, and newly signed Heat forward Meyers Leonard gave their immediate reactions to the news via social media.
With the signing of Anthony Davis, the Los Angeles Lakers were expected to be favorites for the upcoming season. But with Leonard and Paul George joining an already-established Clippers team, the West looks to be a toss-up between both squads in Los Angeles.
