NBA 2019-20: 5 offseason moves that benefited teams

#4 Kawhi Leonard - Los Angeles Clippers

Kawhi Leonard snubbed the Raptors and Lakers to sign with the Clippers

After missing out on the likes of Kevin Durant, the LA Clippers were in danger of missing out on a superstar in free agency. However, the front office eventually convinced Kawhi Leonard to snub the Lakers - and Paul George also arrived in a blockbuster trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Leonard's performances have been excellent as expected in Los Angeles, and the two-time Finals MVP is currently averaging 25.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game. Due to load management, 28-year-old won't be in contention to take home his first regular-season MVP award, although his arrival has been enough to make the Clippers the favorites for the title this season.

#3 Kemba Walker - Boston Celtics

Kemba Walker moved to the Celtics after an excellent lengthy stay with the Charlotte Hornets

Following Kyrie Irving's decision to leave after just two seasons, Boston reacted quickly to complete the signing of Kemba Walker. After dominating the ball on a poor Charlotte Hornets team, there were doubts if Walker could make the same impact on a contender, although the point guard has been excellent over the past month.

Over 16 appearances for the Celtics, Walker has averaged 22.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.6 assists - while also shooting a career-high 40% from three-point range. The 29-year-old has also proved to be a better fit than his predecessor alongside Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown - and the point guard will continue to play a significant role as the Celtics attempt to advance from the East.
