There has been plenty of speculation from “NBA insiders” on where Kawhi Leonard is going to sign this offseason.
Yesterday afternoon FS1 host Chris Broussard was adamant about the fact that Kawhi Leonard was going to sign with the Lakers.
Kawhi to Lakers rumblings getting stronger & stronger. Iguodala likely to join Lakers after Memphis buyout. Danny Green & Seth Curry in Lakers’ scope. Lakers offered Rondo vet minimum & 24 hours to decide. Lakers on verge of building powerhouse.

Chris Broussard just said on Undisputed that there’s a 94% chance Kawhi signs with the Lakers by 6PM tonight. 🤔

Even former NBA player Kendrick Perkins went out and said the Lakers held the upper hand in the Kawhi sweepstakes.
Just heard that Kawhi is meeting with the Clippers tonight but the Lakers hold the upper hand, unless Doc work his Magic tonight it’s looking very strong that Kawhi will be in Purple and Gold!!!

Now FS1’s Cris Carter has come forward and denied that Kawhi is close to a decision and reveals that Leonard is still considering the Lakers, Clippers and Raptors equally.
Kawhi update: I’ve just been informed Kawhi has not made a decision. To think the Lakers are ahead of the Clippers or the Raptors would be wrong #KawhiUpdate

After Carter’s report, Broussard backtracked a bit and said Kawhi has not made a decision yet but is still favoring the Lakers.
"I'm told Kawhi has not made any decision yet. Maybe Jerry West and Doc Rivers wowed him last night, maybe they're mulling over a 1-year deal with the Raptors." — @Chris_Broussard pic.twitter.com/XOPIeEo6N0

Lakers are still big frontrunners for Kawhi, but I’m told no decision has been made yet. https://t.co/2jc0uRbWDk

Reports on Kawhi’s decision have been all over the place
