Rumor is Leonard told Popovich definitely wants out of San Antonio. Now with one year left on his contract what do the Spurs do? As I see it there are three options. 1) Keep him at least until trade deadline in February and then make best deal possible. Sounds nice except Kawhi might be poison in locker room to say nothing of abuse from "Don't mess with Texas" Spurs fans
2) Keep for entire 2018-19 season and then let him walk for nothing - which was always a possibility. 3) Get the best deal before Thursday NBA draft. And this quote saw on Yahoo sports...
"Word is the Suns
have no interest in dealing the top pick for Leonard.
The Kings, at No. 2, might be a little less hard-and-fast on the matter. The Los Angeles Clippers are reportedly interested in getting in the bidding, and “would be willing to create a package with forward Tobias Harris and the 12th or 13th pick in this year’s draft,” according to
Tania Ganguli of the Los Angeles Times, which would give the Spurs multiple first-rounders in Thursday’s draft."
