Should Lakers Pursue Kawhi Leonard?

Reports surfaced Wednesday that the Lakers attempted to trade for two-time Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard, but the move was blocked. Leonard remains one of the league's most accomplished wings when healthy, though his availability has been a recurring question mark throughout his career. Given the current roster composition, adding a player of his caliber would certainly shift the team's ceiling. How would Leonard fit into the current rotation alongside the existing core?

Isn’t he heading back to Toronto?

That trade is in limbo as the NBA apparently isn't done with their investigation. So there is a possibility it may fall through.

We don’t need to wait for that to be sorted out. If he could make a decision today, I’d consider it, but it could be months of Kawhi holding the league hostage…. Again.
