As the 2018 NBA Draft nears, and with July 1 not far behind, the San Antonio Spurs have become a main talking point for it all, as Kawhi Leonard reportedly wants out of the team that traded for him in 2011. It’s the culmination of a months-long saga that started with Leonard’s right quadriceps injury last fall.
There’s no reported timetable for when the Spurs may trade Leonard, but Thursday’s draft is one avenue; it’s a full night of activity, not only selecting players from college and overseas, and features trades for picks and veteran NBA players.
