Steve Aoki is making free agent forward Kawhi Leonard an offer he can't refuse. That is if he's not lactose intolerant.
Los Angeles Lakers super fan, and famous producer and DJ, Steve Aoki is offering free “Pizzaoki”—a pie from his pizza restaurant—to Leonard if the two-time Finals MVP and much-coveted unrestricted free agent should sign with the historic Los Angeles franchise.
Aoki, in a video obtained by TMZ Sports, also has decided to throw the “biggest pizza party LA's ever seen” outside the Staples Center, the Lakers' place of business if Leonard opts to sign with the Lakers.
Kawhi Leonard's free agency decision, viewed as a cruelly slow choice compared to that of other star's decisions like Kyrie Irving's or Kevin Durant's, is down to three candidates: the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers, or incumbent Toronto Raptors.
Leonard led the Raptors to the franchise's first NBA Finals appearance and title this past season when they took down Durant and Stephen Curry's Golden State Warriors in six games.
The Raptors acquired Leonard from the San Antonio Spurs last summer in a deal people around the league viewed as a “rental” before Kawhi would leave the Canadian franchise for pasture anew, like one of his hometown's two teams, the Lakers or Clippers.
However, some believe Leonard may opt to stay in Ontario and run it back another year, possibly by signing a one-year contract and attempting to repeat championships.
Or, Leonard could team up with All-Stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis, as Aoki alludes to in his video, in Los Angeles and put together quite a formidable “big three.”
