Spurs Will Only Trade Kawhi Leonard For Entire Lakers Core

With Free Agency in full swing, teams are locked in heated discussions on trading players. Although it is widely known that the San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Lakers are talking about Kawhi Leonard, it has just been reported that the Spurs are asking for Brandon Ingram, Kyle Kuzma and Josh Hart in return for Kawhi - that's two first-round picks and two pick swaps. 

Larry Coon, NBA salary cap expert and Laker's insider, gave the report.

Although it's pretty clear that the Lakers won't take the deal, the idea that Kawahi is worth so much may not work in their favour. If they push this hard, the Lakers might just decide to go for Kawhi in next year's free agency. 

In this year's free agency, LeBron signed with the Lakers, Paul George, Chris Paul and DeAndre Jordan all announced their moves and the rest followed suit, including Tyreke Evans.
