They felt they could repair the relationship. It would be silly for them to not try.
There's still an opportunity to get a good deal back for him. Especially once Lebron/PG make their decisions, teams get desperate. Things change
The Spurs were too conservative by not seriously looking to trade Leonard and should have moved him before he started talking about only wanting to play for the Lakers.
The front office failed in not seriously taking offers at the right time.
The window of getting any type of value back for him is closing fast. The Spurs should have traded him to Cleveland for a player and their draft pick 8th overall or to Phil 10th pick and player/players or Boston on or before draft night to get max value back for him instead of waiting and having his value fall.

No right answer on when to trade him. ESP if they were trying to work it out.
No trade is as good as keeping him, which is what they've tried to do.
Trying to work it out was the Spurs mistake. That is being too conservative.
Don't know for sure. Leonard was not considered all that special when he came out of the draft or else he would have been drafted higher so you don't know what draft picks will turn out in the future.
Uh... huh?
But if they had worked it out like they did with LMA, everyone would be saying Spurs organization is the model.
Hindsight is 20/20.
they may not have known Kawhi was a “no” and wanted LA until after the trade deadline.
It isn't hind sight. I said they should have traded Leonard on draft night.
For Harris, 12 and 13? If this is his highest value, they'd better keep him for the season. A 50 win season is worth more than the Clippers trash.
It’s waiting game with LA tonight being the last day for LeBron to opt out. If he opts in, Lakers would have to trade for him, they don’t have the cap to afford both Kawhi and PG. Spurs are trying to avoid a Superteam.
Should have traded him to Phil or Boston or Cleveland. Doesn't seem like the Spurs were putting out offers just halfheartedly listening to offers but not actively looking for a trade.
That's way better than any of the Lakers' trash.
Agree
That will be better than the trash the Spurs are going to get.
Oh I see. So they should have traded him for your fantasy trade that's supposed to be at his max value, not for an actual offer they've received.
had they known it would have went public spurs might have traded him before. Spurs are not used to this.
if spurs traded him early people would have been pissed they did not try to work it out
Reports I have seen was the Spurs were not actively looking to trade Leonard.
Had they really wanted to trade him at that time they could have since there were teams (Cleveland, Phil and Boston, Clippers) interested in trading for him.
They should have had the foresight Leonard was serious about not coming back and get good value back in a trade.
Timing is everything and the front office messed up on this one.
Fantasy trade exists only in your head. The only offer they actually received, per reports, was the Clippers one.
Ever think the Spurs can put out trade offers themselves. I saw nothing that the Spurs put out offers to other teams that were declined.
It was common knowledge the Spurs were not actively looking to trade Leonard.
It was widely reported they wanted Tatum, but Boston wouldn't trade him.
you do have to realize teams also know lenoaerd has not played 60 games in a year ever or close to that in the regular season that is 1/4 of the games
he is injury prone
great when healthy but useless when not and last year was not even helping from the bench telling teammates what they need to do on d
So what was the actual trade that was declined? There was word that the Spurs mentioned a player they were interested in(that player was declined) but no real offer was made other than the spurs were interested in a player. So go to another team with offers.
The spurs were not serious in trading Leonard that is why he was not traded.
no team was serious about trading for leonard they knew spurs wanted a good or great offer nothing so far is even a good offer
So they should have traded Kawhi during the Finals?
