Leonard made a decision 6 years ago, leading to the finals of Siakam and Alexander

1:47am, 6 June 2025【Basketball】

The highly-watched finals will kick off on June 6, with the Eastern Conference champion being the Pacers and the Western Conference champion being the Thunder. As we all know, the MVPs in the East and West Regional Finals are Siakam and Alexander, but who would have thought that all this was given by Byron Nader, because after Leonard abandoned Siakam and forced Alexander away, we were blinded by his honest appearance for 6 years.

Time returns to 2019, when the Raptors won the first place in team history and the only championship to date under the leadership of Leonard. In addition to Leonard, the main players of the Raptors are Siakam + Lowry + VanVleet + Gasol Jr. + Ibaka, among which Siakam averages 19.8+7.5+3.7 per game, making him the best helper around Leonard. Everyone thought that after the Raptors won the first championship in team history, they would maintain the championship lineup for another year, but an incident that shocked the entire league occurred. Leonard, who was elected FMVP in the 2019 Finals, resolutely chose to go to the Clippers in order to have a better development prospect, despite the resolute resolutely ignored the resolute resolutely, despite the resolute resolutely taking over the Raptors' management. This incident shocked the entire league at the time. In this way, Leonard left his brothers who fought side by side and abandoned Siakam who won the championship with him.

Leonard agreed to join the Clippers not alone, but proposed the conditions for joining: let George of the Thunder be his second leader. In order to get George's trade, the Clippers sent away chips are: Alexander + Gallinari + 5 first-round picks. All of this is it that Alexander was forced to the Thunder by Leonard. It is worth mentioning that the Thunder used one of the first round picks to indirectly select the current second in command, Jaylen Williams.

After 6 years, if it weren't for Siakam and Alexander's finals, we might have forgotten this past. As a superstar, Leonard was once a man known as the successor of Jordan. Especially his honest appearance would never remind people of abandoning Siakam, and he could not imagine that it was Alexander who asked George to leave.

The Clippers lost 50 wins and 32 losses in the regular season this season, ranking fifth in the Western Conference. They lost 3-4 to the Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs and were eliminated. Leonard, who entered the offseason early, could do nothing. He could only watch Siakam and Alexander compete for the championship, and no matter who wins the championship, he seems to have a deep affection with him. If you choose again, will Leonard reject George and choose Siakam or Alexander as his partner?
