    On Wednesday, coach Gregg Popovich said he'd be "surprised" if Leonard returns this season from a quadriceps injury that has limited the forward to just nine appearances.According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, "The injury, rehabilitation and timetable for a return has complicated the Spurs' and Leonard's relationship, causing tension and fraying the fabric of what was once a strong partnership, league sources told ESPN. The uncertainty surrounding this season—and Leonard's future, which could include free agency in the summer of 2019—has inspired a palpable stress around the organization, league sources said."
    This summer, San Antonio can offer the two-time All-Star a designated veteran extension worth roughly $219 million over five years (starting with the 2019-20 season). He qualified with back-to-back All-NBA First Team honors the past two campaigns, despite his struggles to stay healthy this season.Only the Spurs can offer a supermax contract, but do they if the relationship is indeed in peril?

    Lakers executives Earvin "Magic" Johnson and Rob Pelinka would be wise to monitor the Leonard situation closely. If Los Angeles is unable to land two stars this summer, saving cap room for the Riverside native may be the ultimate "Plan B."

    If Kawhi is still experiencing pain then he will need to learn to deal with the pain because pain from chronic issues don't go away. I'd be skeptical of giving the supermax.

    Op is very insightful. Really, I never thought one of the worst teams in the league with max cap room should go after one of the best free agents.

    I mean, just genius level stuff.

    Because that re is a 2x DPOY. The only one the Lakers ever had was Coop in '88...plus it would piss off all these farmers
