No. 3 former Kawhi Leonard teammate for the LA Clippers to consider signing: Kyle Lowry

Kyle Lowry also won that chip with Leonard in Toronto, and will be a prime free agent target if Jackson can’t be brought back.

It makes a lot of sense. He’s a six-time All-Star, and a former All-NBA player who’s done big things with Leonard in the past.

Lowry dealt with some injury issues this year, but had been so consistent the past six years before this season that someone’s going to pay a lot of money for him.

That’s why Clipper fans shouldn’t get their hopes too high, but the thing is; Lowry’s injury last year could lower his price tag. Jackson’s price tag, on the other hand, is only getting higher and higher.

If the Clips can’t re-sign Jackson, they still have a chance to be able to afford Lowry. If Leonard comes back, why would Lowry not be interested in reuniting with him?

All these guys should be interested in reuniting with Leonard. They all have played on elite teams with the Claw, and would be on yet another contending team with arguably the best player in the world.
