The Miami Heat just landed a pretty big fish in Victor Oladipo, but the pond might get a bit bigger this summer. Will the Heat have have to bother themselves with another big name pursuit?

Kawhi Leonard, of the Los Angles Clippers, could potentially have another free agency decision to make here pretty soon, in case you were wondering. Forgive but to be honest, the Leonard to Los Angeles move hasn’t been what everyone thought it would be.

Yes, it’s only Leonard’s second season with Los Angeles, but the expectations were that he was there to take over LA and ruin LeBron James‘s time there along the way. But, as we all saw last year in the playoffs, who got the last laugh?

Though there is pain there in that admission, it’s the truth.

However though and also with Leonard having the flexibility of a player option at the end of this year, it begs the question, what happens if Los Angeles gets bounced in the first or second round of this year’s playoffs? Would Leonard stick around for another year of Playoff P, Paul George, who has struggled in the playoffs over the past couple of years?
