Why the Spurs stood pat at the trade deadline

2:00 PM CT, February 8, 2018 has come and gone, which means the trade deadline for the 2018 NBA season is officially over. The Spurs have only made a move at the deadline five times in franchise history (the most recent being in 2014), and this season ended up being no different.

Of course, that doesn’t mean this season wasn’t without it’s usual rumors, and even a bit of drama. First, there was the “report” that Kawhi Leonard’s relationship with the Spurs had deteriorated to the point that he wanted out, but the Spurs shot those rumors down and politely hung up on anyone who called to inquire about possibly trading for their franchise cornerstone.
