The San Antonio Spurs and Rudy Gay have agreed upon a one-year, $10 million deal.

Gay initially signed with the Spurs in the 2017 offseason.

The Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs are reportedly slow-playing their negotiations on a trade involving Kawhi Leonard.

"The Lakers have not acted with great urgency," said Adrian Wojnarowski.

LeBron James may have to commit to the Lakers without an assurance that they will sign or trade for another star.

Joffrey Lauvergne has declined his $1.6 million player option for the 18-19 season.

According to Ismail Senol of beIN Sports, Lauvergne will sign with Fenerbahce.

Lauvergne signed a two-year deal with the Spurs in 2017.

The San Antonio Spurs preferred retaining Kawhi Leonard this offseason and hoped to repair the relationship. Leonard has been adamant in his trade demand and the Spurs have given up the hope of keeping him.

"I was told yesterday in pretty strong terms they're ready to move on," said Marc Stein on The Dan Patrick Show. "They know this relationship cannot be repaired. This is beyond Pop and Kawhi meeting face to face and fixing it as Pop was able to do with LaMarcus Aldridge last summer. It is pretty much gone at this point."

The Spurs are now open to trading Leonard but are not in a rush.

The Los Angeles Lakers are Leonard's preferred destination but the Philadelphia 76ers are another team that is seeking a trade for Leonard.

"Philadelphia badly wants him," said Stein.

The Boston Celtics are unlikely to make a blockbuster deal.

The Celtics have been mentioned as a possible destination for Kawhi Leonard.

"If I feel like it'll help our team -- we explore every trade of players of certain magnitude or superstar, first-ballot Hall of Fame-type of players," Danny Ainge said. "We're going to take a look and kick the tires and see if there's something there. But that's all.

"I think those things are unlikely."

The type of asking price the San Antonio Spurs have for Kawhi Leonard has become a point of contention.

They have indicated to at least some teams that they would prefer to remain competitive, according to sources.

The type of offers the Spurs receive could dictate the strategy.

Insiders expect Gregg Popovich to trade Leonard to the team that offers the package they like most, even if it is the Los Angeles Lakers.

The San Antonio Spurs have reached a point where they are prepared to trade Kawhi Leonard.

"They're ready," said a source.

The Spurs had hoped to repair their relationship with Leonard.

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the Spurs are fully engaged in trade talks with multiple teams including the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers. Sources say the Spurs have the most interest in a trade package with the Celtics.

The Celtics, however, are operating with extreme caution due to Leonard's health issues and apparent free agent desires. The Celtics are not interested in making a risky trade for Leonard.

The Lakers are willing to trade Brandon Ingram and a future first round pick for Leonard, but the Spurs are seeking a far bigger haul.

While LeBron James appears to want the Los Angeles Lakers to acquire Kawhi Leonard as part of his commitment to the franchise, the feeling may not be entirely mutual on Leonard's part.

Leonard reportedly plans on signing with one of the two Los Angeles teams, preferably the Lakers, when he becomes a free agent in 2019. Leonard doesn't want to ever play for the Spurs again.

"I'm hearing that Kawhi Leonard isn't that enamored with the thought of coming to L.A. with LeBron," said Stephen A. Smith. "Not because of LeBron himself the person or the basketball player, but because of the paparazzi like atmosphere he will ultimately create in L.A. Kawhi ain't built that way. Kawhi is not the type of player that wants to be a part of all that.

"Now obviously this could all be a smokescreen. It could be the Clippers leaking stuff out there to the masses hoping somebody grabs hold of it and just puts it out there without acknowledging the fact that the Clippers could be putting this out there because in their perfect world, they want people to believe they have a chance for Kawhi Leonard."

According to reporting from ESPN, the Los Angeles Lakers would likely clinch a free agent commitment from LeBron James if they are able to agree upon a trade for Kawhi Leonard.

James has until Friday night to opt-out of the final season of his deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers. James hasn't ruled out the possibility of remaining with the Cavaliers, but his odds of staying are murky.

The Lakers attempted to aggressively re-engage the San Antonio Spurs on a trade for Leonard on Wednesday.

There is concern that Paul George may be leaning towards re-signing with the Oklahoma City Thunder, which makes trading for Leonard more necessary for the Lakers to secure a commitment from James.

Leonard is attempting to convince teams that he plans on signing with the Lakers in 2019.

The Los Angeles Lakers re-engaged the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday in regard to trading for Kawhi Leonard.

The Lakers are hoping to acquire Leonard before the start of free agency to improve their odds of also landing LeBron James.

While the Spurs have wanted to repair their relationship with Leonard, an overwhelming offer from the Lakers could convince them to trade him to their franchise.

The Lakers are attempting to use deals involving Paul George and Kyrie Irving as proportional models for acquiring Leonard. 

The Lakers hoped to sign James and George in free agency, which would give them more leverage in Leonard trade talks, or simply for the ability to wait until next year to sign Leonard.
