Description

In this episode, Alex Regla and Jas Kang breakdown the Raptors championship and what it means for Kawhi Leonard's pending free agency. Does bring a title to Toronto make it less or more likely that he stays in Canada, or does this open the door for the Lakers? The Leonard rumors have been dormant, but with the season officially over, the spotlight will begin to shine on the quiet superstar. 
Now that the on-court portion of the season is complete, the focus turns to player movement, and there's no bigger name in play than Anthony Davis. With the Lakers believing they're in the driver seat to get the deal done, why is David Griffin not pulling the trigger on the trade? Are the Pelicans stringing the Lakers along to try and get a better package out of Danny Ainge and the Boston Celtics? The Lakers biggest rivals apparently haven't been deterred by Davis' agent, Rich Paul, saying his client will likely leave in the summer of 2020. The guys discuss which teams package is more appealing and how much things have changed since the debacle at the trade deadline this past February. 
Alex and Jas then get into how the Lakers and Pelinka have to find a way to bring AD west and what it means for the organization if they don't. Even with the worst-case scenario occurring, the Lakers will still have enough cap space to be a major player in free agency.
