NBA: Predicting where the top 20 2021 free agents will sign

1. Kawhi Leonard

There’s an argument to be made that the LA Clippers wouldn’t faced off against the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA Finals if Kawhi Leonard never gets injured. We’ll never know but perhaps we’ll get to see this Clippers squad run it back?

That all depends on what Kawhi elects to do this summer. He’s expected to opt-out of the final year of his deal, but that doesn’t mean he plans on leaving the Clippers to sign with another franchise.

As exciting as it would be for Kawhi to sign elsewhere, I simply don’t see it. He just made the move to LA and has it great with the Clippers. From all indications, he lives and operates by his own rules with the franchise and I’m not sure he’d be willing to eject on that this early in his tenure with the Clippers.

Prediction: LA Clippers
