#3 Los Angeles Lakers
The Spurs have apparently asked for Kyle Kuzma, Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball and two future first round picks for Kawhi Leonard. Sounds bizarre, right? Not completely.
When Leonard becomes a free agent next year, he'll also have the option of signing with the Thunder, which hurts the chances of the Los Angeles Lakers getting out of the Western Conference Playoffs even more. However, the Lakers have made it clear that they will not trade their young core for him.

With all this being said, Leonard and LeBron James seem like one heck of a duo, paired along with talented youngsters including Kuzma, Ingram and Ball, not to mention veterans such as Lance Stephenson and JaVale McGee. This scenario, if it happens, will probably occur in the 2019 free agency window.
