With the Kawhi Leonard drama continuing in San Antonio, opposing GMs are salivating at the potential of adding the former Finals MVP.

On Wednesday (AEDT), ESPN's Brian Windhorst reported that multiple general managers have been intrigued with trying to acquire Leonard once the season ends.
Leonard has only appeared in nine games this season as he and the Spurs can't seem to come to a consensus on his quad injury. It's a situation that has been foreign to a Spurs organization that has been at the top of North American sport as an example of how to build and run a championship contender year in, year out.
There's no immediate rush for San Antonio to trade Leonard, but the 26-year-old can become an unrestricted free agent after next season. If this drama left a bad taste in the mouth of the two-time all-star it could leave the Spurs with nothing in return for their franchise star.
Leonard is averaging 16.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.0 steals in the nine games he played in this season.
Last season, he averaged 25.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 74 appearances.
