The San Antonio Spurs made it clear in Kawhi Leonard trade talks with the Philadelphia 76ers that they would requre either Ben Simmons or Joel Embiid.
That asking price was understandably a non-starter for the 76ers.
Philadelphia's potential package of Robert Covington, Dario Saric and Miami's 2021 unprotected first round pick wasn't of interest to the Spurs.
It is unclear how much interest the Spurs had in Markelle Fultz as he was never seriously discussed and sources say the 76ers wouldn't have traded him.
