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.
儘管目前時間對馬刺來說有些不利，但別忘了教練Popovich才剛剛經歷了
喪妻之痛，對雙方來說，大家都需要一些時間沉澱跟思考。
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.
然而在選秀前的這段時間肯定是非常重要的，雙方都有自己的功課必須去
處理，不管是球團內部的事情或者是合約上的想法。上個賽季Leonard因傷只出賽
了九場比賽，接著在一月份Leonard又跑去了紐約尋找除了球團以外的醫療建議，
這也讓雙方的代溝似乎越來越深。
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.
據報導，馬刺打算在今年夏天提供Leonard一份頂薪延長合約，不過前提是
球團必須理解Leonard本人以及他的團隊想法。如果Leonard拒絕馬刺的延長報價，
那麼雙方將會繼續針對Leonard的未來進行討論。
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，馬刺還不打算提供合約給他們的超級巨星，甚至有消息指出就算
今年夏天沒辦法成功簽下延長合約，馬刺還是傾向讓Leonard擔任下個賽季的先發，
期望能增加Leonard的交易價值或者是期望未來能夠能消弭雙方的代溝。
