6. San Antonio Spurs (32-19)

All of a sudden, the San Antonio Spurs are one of the most interesting situations in all the NBA. Regardless of whether you believe that Kawhi Leonard is mad at management or not, the fact that he’s only been able to play nine games this season should be concerning.

Kawhi is a free agent after next season, and there’s no telling what Gregg Popovich will do to try and improve his roster.

Is he going to move Kawhi? Unlikely. Although, this feels like the perfect time for a huge franchise-changing move on the part of the Spurs.
