Then get new coach, couple lottery picks of your own, call it the process, and come back in 5 years and see what went wrong
... and Spurs would never do.
First, Spurs are going to be first round fodder at best likely for most of Kawhi's prime. So ....
Trade Leonard to Boston for both Brooklyn picks plus their own first this year and Jaylen Brown. Pick Fultz. Tank next year and have two very high lottery picks. With cap space in 2020 go after a big time FA. Move forward.
Now let the insults begin.

6ers will bust out this year providing Embid is healthy.
Bust out what ? 1st round exit ? Spurs are 2nd round exit without the picks, so why bother
Only missed bringing Kawhi back in 2020.
Go Seattle Spurs Go!
Can someone please delete this trash?
Yeah just give away a 26 year old top 2 player so this franchise can become the Timberwolves.
That dude is bold and has a spur?
Just throwing if out. Don't think it's a good ideauless unlikely as it is Kawhi sees no path forward and doesn't sign a designated player deal.
I don't think things are as bleak as that.
The Spurs should be No. 2 in the West for the foreseeable future with Kawhi and the young players they already have,
If lightning strikes once or twice with those younger guys (and some possible additions) they'll be right back where they want to be.
Overreacting is a more likely danger than patience.
Duncd On podcast today has a fairly realistic take on the Spurs options for 2017-18. One scenario is to hold onto cap space until 2018. Look at the players that will be available that year. Not very pretty.
Yes let's trade the second best player in the league who isn't even in his prime yet for a the potential to draft a 20 year old who may never even be as good. Makes perfect sense
Weren't the Spurs suppose to be "first round fodder" this last season?
25 pts before Kawhi got hurt? MVP Kawhi and much improved Murray, Simmons and Co. Maybe another reliable scorer from FA. Spurs will be back.
The spurs will be fine once they go ahead and trade LMA. Unlike most here, I believe Forbes will play better next year and become a sniper we so desperately need.....Pop already recognize this I'm thinking
The only way KL is ever traded is if he asks to be. He is not some gimmick player like Harden. He is a legit top 3 player and will likely be the best player in the league next year or in 2019.
I like this team minue Aldridge and Gasol at their hefty contracts. We need to get rid of one of them and try to find some shooters. Lack of shooters and speed hurt us at times this year. That said, we were a KL ankle from competing with one of the best record teams in NBA history.
Well if this isn't a knee-jerk reaction over a season derailed by injury, I don't know what is.
Spurs looked primed to challenge for the Finals until Parker and Leonard went down.
I think Lebron would sign with a team out West if this happened.
On paper, this could actually work but could as easily backfire and leave you with a borderline playoff team. They'd have a boatload of cap space to reload in a year around two top picks. But the Brooklyn pick next year isn't guaranteed to be stellar. Also, aren't there rules against trading two straight first rounders or is that only up until draft time?
But you NEVER trade superstars unless they ask to be traded. Too risky to replace them. Leonard isn't an just All Star, he's a top five talent for the next few years and should be top ten for the next several. Also, Fultz plays the most loaded position in the league while Leonard plays the most valuable.
If the Spurs rebuild, then this team is moving to Kansas City or Vegas in 2-3 years....
Fans barely show up when they win 60 games. Now imagine a lottery team without #20, the Mexican idol.
Just for further arguments sake in a long off season.
2017 Fultz (I'll bet anyone this kid is going to be a top PG by 3-4 yrs in the league)
2018 DeAndre Ayton (a 10 out of 10 David Robinson size, athleticism, speed player with court awareness)
2018 Additional lottery pick for a PF or SF.
Add a seasoned Murray.
By year 5 Spurs are good for the next 10 year run.
Spurs aren't going anywhere in the next 3 - 4 years. That's just acstrawman's argument

99.2 % is bad ? Werent San Antonio trying to get NFL team ?
Popovich would not be coaching this team.
He probably is Mills replacement, and needs just some time to adjust to NBA he is a rookie.
Stop reading at "Trade Leonard".
