The earthquakes shaking California recently have now been accompanied by the seismic shock of reports that NBA stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George will be joining the Los Angeles Clippers.
Reports late on Friday night stated that free agent Leonard had agreed to sign with the Clippers fresh from his championship-winning season with the Toronto Raptors.
The 28-year-old Finals MVP was a big target for the LA Lakers, who had freed up max cap space in a bid to lure him to the team.
It is also reported he will be joined at the Clippers by fellow All-Star Paul George, 29, who will be traded from the Oklahoma Thunder after Leonard reportedly approached him about the switch.
In return, Oklahoma have bagged prospects Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Danilo Gallinari and a number of future picks as part of the trade.

Leonard is reportedly set to pen a four-year deal worth $142 million with the Clippers, and the parallel move for George is said to have been a key part in him agreeing to join the team.
The moves will see Leonard and George team up in LA, across the city divide from LeBron James and Anthony Davis at the Lakers.
The blockbuster new pairing at the Clippers is also seen as a huge momentum shift towards a now heavily star-stacked Western Conference, and has shocked the NBA world.
What in the world just happened????
