Magic says he has spoken with Kawhi, uncle

Former Los Angeles Lakers president Magic Johnson told the L.A. Times' Brad Turner that he spoke to Kawhi Leonard and his uncle, Dennis Robertson, Sunday after being contacted by Leonard's group.

Such a conversation may not violate the terms of free agency because Johnson is no longer employed by the Lakers. Johnson said no meeting has been set between himself and Leonard, according to Turner.

Leonard, an L.A. native, is expected to take a meeting with the Lakers after free agency officially commences Sunday evening. On Friday, Johnson - who abruptly resigned as Lakers president in April - said he planned on helping his old team recruit free agents such as Leonard.

"A friend of mine called and says Kawhi (Leonard) wants to meet with you," Johnson said. "I said no problem. I'm available if that's what this man wants."

Leonard has been linked to the Clippers and Lakers as options if he chooses to leave the Toronto Raptors.
