Ever since the Los Angeles Lakers made the moves necessary to land yet another max contract player, it was assumed that Kawhi Leonard was at the very top of the wish list.

On Friday, it was reported that there is a real possibility that the 2019 Finals MVP ends up on the Lakers.

Shortly after, it was reported that both LeBron James and Anthony Davis plan to be a part of the formal pitch to the enigmatic star.

Signing Leonard would immediately make the Lakers the next superteam in the NBA, with few comparisons existing throughout the history of the league.

The combination of raw physical ability and basketball IQ that the three All-Stars possess is top class.

While the Lakers would have little cap flexibility when it comes to filling out the rest of their roster, it would likely not matter much as long as James, Davis, and Leonard can remain healthy for much of the upcoming season.

How James and Davis factor into the team’s formal pitch to Leonard remains unclear. However, what is abundantly clear is that the Lakers are seeking do something very special this offseason.
