This is literally the worst article ever.
"Spurs star
could prefer Sixers, Clippers over Lakers superteam"
"
Leonard reportedly wants to go to L.A."
"Leonard
might be opening up his options"
"Leonard is
far from a lock to join the Lakers as a free agent in 2019"
"he
isn't necessarily interested in joining a team with LeBron"
"he
might be more open to playing with the
Clippers, or even the
Philadelphia 76ers."
"
There's no guarantee if Kawhi Leonard hits the market next summer he's going to sign with the Lakers, period,""
"
I think his options have
broadened a little bit."
"
I think he'd be very much
open to the Clippers."
"
There's a belief around the league that if the Sixers came hard,
there could be potential there
for him to potentially be there in the long-term."
"
Around Kawhi, it's been made abundantly clear there's not an interest to go join a superteam." (what does "around kawhi" even mean here?)
"
I don't think he's jumping for joy that LeBron James is in L.A. with the Lakers."
"
If anything, that's going to make him look,
maybe more, toward the Clippers"
"
You think he's amped up and wants to join LeBron now?
I think that's been
overstated."
"
reports surfaced saying that the Lakers were still Leonard's No. 1 destination.
Apparently Charania's sources are now telling him otherwise."
"The Lakers
appear to have lost some momentum"
"All this to say, Leonard has
reason to be wary about signing on with the Lakers"
Shams Charania
The amount of hedging in this shyt is unprecedented.
Originality is fire. No one in journalism history has written, "There's a
belief there could be
potential for him to
potentially" before.
Did
@GIL-scott Heroin ghostwrite it for them?
Best part was that the only two definitive statements about actual reports were for Kawhi still going to the Lakers.
