Chris Broussard: “If Kawhi goes to the Lakers, you’re going to have two main people to thank: Magic Johnson & LeBron James... And through LeBron, Klutch Sports. Seriously, this is happening DESPITE Rob Pelinka. This is not going to be Rob Pelinka drawing Kawhi, this will be Magic and LeBron. Kawhi’s people have called Magic Johnson multiple times yesterday while Magic was in church. Magic then sees the calls, they talk, and Kawhi lays out what he wants from the team.”
NBA Insider and co-host of Fox Sports Radio’s ‘The Odd Couple’ Chris Broussard joined The Herd to explain why Los Angeles Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka couldn’t be more irrelevant in the negotiations for one of the biggest free agents in sports history, Kawhi Leonard.
Broussard believes the team’s recent surge for the two-time Finals MVP's services is because of LeBron James and Magic Johnson.
Check out the audio below as Chris details what has happened in the past 24 hours that has seen Kawhi and his camp reach out to Magic Johnson to get a report on what exactly the franchise can offer Kawhi, and also adds that he believes the Lakers are now a legitimate front-runner for The Board Man.
