The Los Angeles Lakers and Toronto Raptors had gripes about how Kawhi Leonard lead on each team in free agency, according to Brian Windhorst.

"I heard complaints from the Lakers that they got played. I heard complaints from the Raptors that Kawhi came in and asked for the sun, the moon, the stars then left them at the altar," said Windhorst on The Hoop Collective podcast.  

Leonard reportedly recruited Paul George to join him on the Clippers, leading to George asking for a trade from the Thunder.

League sources later told Adrian Wojnarwoski that without George, Leonard would have signed with the Lakers.
