When Kawhi Leonard, the most coveted player in NBA free agency, listens to the Lakers’ pitch, it might come only from Magic Johnson and Jeanie Buss — and not in the same meeting.
Johnson said Leonard’s camp reached out to him and requested that the Lakers legend be part of the meeting Leonard will have with the team after the All-Star forward becomes an unrestricted free agent Sunday.
Leonard will decline his contract option with the Toronto Raptors and test the market, and his camp let the Lakers know he wants his official meeting to be with only Buss, the controlling owner, instead of several members of the front office, according to people not authorized to speak publicly. But Johnson could be viewed as a special case because of his recent history as a Lakers executive — heas their president of basketball operations April 9 — and his communication with players around the NBA.
