The new billboards aiming to lure Durant and Kawhi to L.A. are more blunt than the first ones

Player recruitment tactics come in all sorts of ways.

If you’re the entire city of Toronto, you offer Kawhi Leonard literally whatever material thing he can imagine in exchange for his signature on a contract with the Raptors. 

If you’re pretty much anyone else, you turn to billboards. 

The Knicks famously tried this strategy back in October, when they were trying to lure Kevin Durant to the Big Apple. 

Obviously, Durant stayed with the Warriors, but the L.A. Clippers are still sticking to the billboard strategy to aid in their recruitment.

Honestly, this one is pretty clever.

Durant isn’t the only massive free agent that the Clippers are after, and earlier this week, some billboards aiming to lure Kawhi south popped up in Cali. 

Now, one more has appeared, and this one is just straight up harsh.

Shots fired northward.

We’ll see if any of these witty billboards wind up having any impact on the two illustrious free agents, or if they’ll both stick to the cities they’ve lead to Championships.
