Will the Spurs make a move?

The San Antonio Spurs are in an interesting place.

On one hand, the Spurs are still ranked 3rd in the Western Conference despite Kawhi Leonard only appearing in nine games thus far this season. That’s a testament to the depth this roster has and the great work of one Gregg Popovich.

On the other hand, Leonard has not played in more than nine games this season and may not play again this year. Adding injury to insult, he’s also reportedly at odds with management and is eligible to become a free agent after next season.

Bringing it all back, should – and will – the Spurs make a move ahead of the NBA trade deadline?
