It may seem like time is getting away from the Spurs a bitDh, but
remember Pop lost his wife Erin back in April, and her funeral was just
three weeks ago. Pop reportedly did participate in exit interviews,
as did Leonard, but he has understandably needed time to mourn.
尽管目前时间对马刺来说有些不利，但别忘了教练Popovich才刚刚经历了
丧妻之痛，对双方来说，大家都需要一些时间沉淀跟思考。
The timing before the draft is still paramount. Both sides have
some things to work out, internally and contract-wise. Leonard only
appeared in nine games this season due to a lingering quad injury.
After shutting himself back down in January he sought a second medical
opinion in New York, and reports of a rift between the two parties
have been growing ever since.
然而在选秀前的这段时间肯定是非常重要的，双方都有自己的功课必须去
处理，不管是球团内部的事情或者是合约上的想法。上个赛季Leonard因伤只出赛
了九场比赛，接着在一月份Leonard又跑去了纽约寻找除了球团以外的医疗建议，
这也让双方的代沟似乎越来越深。
The Spurs reportedly plan on offering Leonard the super-max contract
extension, but not before clearing the air with him (and presumably his “
group”) first. If he refuses to sign the extension, they will have some
decisions to make considering Leonard can become a free agent next summer
by opting out of his current contract.
据报导，马刺打算在今年夏天提供Leonard一份顶薪延长合约，不过前提是
球团必须理解Leonard本人以及他的团队想法。如果Leonard拒绝马刺的延长报价，
那么双方将会继续针对Leonard的未来进行讨论。
As of now the Spurs are not entertaining offers for their superstar,
and some reports have even indicated that even if they don’t work things
out this summer, they will keep him for the start of next season in hopes
of either working things out over time or improving his trade value on
the court.
截至目前，马刺还不打算提供合约给他们的超级巨星，甚至有消息指出就算
今年夏天没办法成功签下延长合约，马刺还是倾向让Leonard担任下个赛季的先发，
期望能增加Leonard的交易价值或者是期望未来能够能消弭双方的代沟。
