In hindsight, what New Orleans turned AD into

The Spurs have a top five young roster in the league . . .

Then we let him walk and get cap space if he wasn't a fit, or s&t him and roll the dice again..people will try to spin it how they want, dd and the 29 pick for the best player in the game was a horrendous return.

Leonard was on 23mil. With some movement, spurs could have gained enough space to sign a max. Then you need to convince someone to join over the many other clubs that got cap space.

I do think the Spurs should have gotten Leonard into camp. But I think Uncle was going to avoid Leonard turning up. All of a sudden Raptors had a starting center, all-star SG, and a pick on the table.

Don't forget that many NBA people and people in Toronto(I have the local coverage here, so I recall accurately) weren't even sure that Kawhi was going to report to the Raptors..nobody had any idea what was going on, he disappeared from the NBA world..
