ith the intention of meeting with Kawhi Leonard prior to Thursday's NBA draft, l
eague sources told ESPN.
popo禮拜三飛往加州，在選秀會前與可愛見面
For weeks, Popovich has been working to set up a meeting with Leonard to discuss
the issues that have fractured the franchise's relationship with the All-NBA fo
rward and caused him to issue a public trade demand in the media, league sources
said.
數週以來，Popo致力於安排與可愛的會面，來討論這位明星前鋒透過媒體公開要求交易的議
題
Leonard wants a trade to Los Angeles, preferably the Lakers over the Clippers, l
eague sources said. He has privately maintained that he no longer wants to play
in San Antonio, and will eventually alert rival teams considering trades for him
that his intentions are to sign in Los Angeles -- preferably with the Lakers --
when he can become a free agent in 2019, league sources said.
可愛想要被交易到洛杉磯，喜歡湖人更甚於快艇。
可愛私底下堅持他不想要繼續在馬刺打球了，並且會警告那些想交易他的球隊他會試圖在20
19年與湖人簽約
The Spurs are unlikely to be motivated to facilitate a deal to the Lakers, leagu
e sources said.
馬刺目前不太可能會因此而啟動跟湖人的交易。
Leonard, a two-time first-team All-NBA player, can become an unrestricted free a
gent in 2019. He is eliible to sign a five-year, $219 million super maximum con
tract with the Spurs this summer.
可愛於過去三年二度入選年度隊，將在2019年成為FA的他具有簽下5年2.19億的超級頂薪資
格。
Leonard had told confidants that he did not want to sit down with Popovich and h
as been purposely difficult for the Spurs to reach recently. Among the issues, L
eonard is angry over what he believes was the Spurs' mishandling of a quad injur
y, and remains irate with public comments out of teammate Tony Parker and Popovi
ch that he felt were not supportive of him, league sources said.
可愛告訴他的好朋友他不想要與Popo坐下來談，且試圖讓馬刺難以與他接觸。
可愛相信馬刺對於他的傷勢處理得不好，且對於隊友Parker與Popo公開場合的言論感到憤怒
，他認為自己沒有得到支持。
The Spurs' officials priority has been to try to talk with Leonard to work throu
gh the issues, league sources said. That's been communicated to those seeking tr
ade talks, although the Spurs have encouraged some rival teams executives callin
g about Leonard to present an offer if they so choose, league sources said.
馬刺管理層優先試圖與可愛溝通，儘管有許多球隊都向馬刺探索交易可愛的可能
So far, the Spurs have been largely reluctant to give teams guidance on the play
ers, or packages, that would interest them in trades, sources said.
目前為止，馬刺基本上不願意聽取其他球隊的報價。
