Spurs engaged with Lakers, Celtics in Kawhi Leonard trade talks

The San Antonio Spurs are engaged with several teams in trade talks on All-NBA forward Kawhi Leonard, including the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics, league sources told ESPN.

The Spurs are clearly open to making a deal in the short-term, but remain in pursuit of a major return of assets for Leonard, a two-time first-team All-NBA player. San Antonio has had hopes of repairing its tattered relationship with Leonard and ultimately get to a comfort level with offering the $219 million super maximum contract extension. Leonard can opt-out of his contract and become a free agent next summer.
