The Spurs are fully engaged in trade talks with several teams on Kawhi Leonard, including the Lakers and Celtics, league sources tell ESPN. Boston has long had the assets that the Spurs most covet in a potential Leonard trade.

The Spurs can still play long game with Leonard, try to repair relationship and get to a place where they're comfortable offering $219M super max. The urgency to get a deal done belongs to Lakers now, but circumstances and leverage can change quickly. https://t.co/RIralTBUe9

As I’ve said in the past, the Boston Celtics trading for Kawhi Leonard hinges on two things: Ownership willing to pay for a very expensive team and how quickly they think Jaylen Brown can become Kawhi-light.
