It has been over a full year since Kawhi Leonard went down in the second-half of Game 1 of the 2017 Western Conference Finals against the Golden State Warriors. With yet another NBA season under our belts, the story has been completely flipped from what we may have imagined. Just one summer after San Antonio saved one of its superstars from wanting a trade in LaMarcus Aldridge, a year later its biggest star, Kawhi Leonard, now wants out of the organization. ESPN's Chris Haynes was the first to report the news.

It all started this season after Kawhi returned from his injury during the midway point of the 2018 season. Playing only nine games, Leonard went down again which would end up being his final game played in the season because of a thigh injury.

Weeks after that, Leonard looked for a second opinion to see what he injured in his leg, a move in which the Spurs did not like. Leonard and his agent had said they had informed San Antonio of the decision and everything seemed to be okay. It was through the media that Leonard and his representatives found out San Antonio didn't like the move via "unnamed sources."

Shortly after, the team held a meeting to see how Leonard was feeling, in which he expressed to them he still wasn't healthy enough to play. Two weeks later, the two leaders of the team, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker, came out in the media and scrutinized Leonard through a series of not so subliminal messages, including Parker referencing a ruptured quad he suffered during his career saying "Mine was a 100 times worse but I am still playing."

Then after the season, reports from San Antonio stated that the organization "needed to be convinced" before they offered the $219-million super-max contract. Leonard, after hearing the news, cancelled the meeting he had scheduled with San Antonio and then requested a trade.
