How the Spurs nearly drafted Klay Thompson instead of Kawhi Leonard
he crop of players to come out of the 2011 NBA Draft has been rather
impressive, and the Spurs were reportedly ready to go all in on a future
all-pro not named Kawhi Leonard.
According to a recent column by ESPN’s Zach Lowe, the Spurs attempted to
move up in the draft to select current Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson.
An SB Nation article posted in June 2011 reported the Spurs were willing to
give up Tony Parker and/or then-Spurs forward Richard Jefferson to move into
the lottery to draft Thompson.
The Spurs were coming off a disappointing first round series playoffs loss to
the Memphis Grizzlies and knew they needed help at the shooting guard or
small forward position.
The Thompson deal did not go through and he was drafted No. 11 by Golden
State, but the Spurs still managed make a franchise-changing move when they
acquired the rights to Kawhi Leonard from the Indiana Pacers in the same
draft.

2010-11赛季，马刺取得了例行赛的西区第一，总排名第二的成绩，但在例行赛的最后阶
段，Duncan和Ginobili遭遇伤病，最终马刺大比分2-4不敌西区第八的灰熊，惨遭老八
那个休赛期，马刺决定进行一些改变，而他们看中外线射手Klay Thompson，不过马刺并
没有那么高顺位的选秀权
当时有消息称，为了得到Thompson，他们希望能够用Parker或者是Jefferson去向上交易
选秀权
但最后马刺的交易计划并没有成功，那年的选秀大会中，Klay Thompson被勇士队选走。
得知Thompson被选走后，马刺队改变了计划，他们通过交易，用George Hill从印第安纳
溜马队换来了Leonard。
那时换到的话 现在会如何呢
