It's a bad look for Kawhi Leonard and the Spurs – and he's about to make it
worse

No one can speak for Popovich, but some of his closest confidants suspect
that if the relationship remains strained and the lack of communication
persists, he will pursue a blockbuster trade during the offseason and commit
to a parting of the ways. Already, according to multiple reports, several
teams are assembling packages that might appeal to the Spurs.
当然没人能代Popovich说话,但根据他身边人士消息,如果Kawhi Leonard关系还是这么
紧张,仍然不肯沟通,Popovich会在休赛期寻求一笔重大交易,让彼此分道扬镳。多份报
告指出,几支球队正在进行交易准备。
The Spurs could probably swallow hard and work with that. One stethoscope
does not fit all. But the Southern California native, who earns $20 million
next season and is eligible for a supermax contract extension, has gone
rogue, morphed from soft-spoken to silent. He occasionally texts with some of
his teammates, but according to Gasol leaves others in the dark. And the fact
he has been absent from San Antonio for weeks and is not expected to sit on
the bench for Game 3?
马刺可能被迫接受这事实:一个年薪2000万美元的南加州本地人,现已是异常失联的状态
。原本还有和部分队友传短信,但根据Gasol消息Kawhi Leonard与其他队友已完全断绝联
络,事实上他早已离开San Antonio好几周,第三场会到主场板凳加油吗?
That’s a really bad optic, made even more jarring by the contrasting image
of his injured colleague in Oakland. Warriors guard Stephen Curry, out
indefinitely with a sprained knee, joined his teammates for pregame shooting
drills, took part in huddles and led cheers during the past two games. The
Spurs, meanwhile, more fragile and vulnerable than in recent memory, are
repeatedly asked about Leonard’s absence. For the most part, they reply in
weary, if tempered tones.
这对于被伤害的队友来说观感很差,反观勇士队Stephen Curry即便膝盖扭伤,比赛他不
仅参与赛前投篮训练,这两场比赛中更在板凳席卖力加油。对比之下,马刺全队一再被问
及Kawhi Leonard为何缺席,大多数他们回答都显得疲乏且心情很差。
