Things have once again taken another twist for the San Antonio Spurs with Kawhi Leonard making it clear to the organization that he wants to be traded.

This has immediately put both Los Angeles teams on the map with Leonard voicing that he wants to be moved to his hometown. However, NBA veteran reporter Peter Vescey is reporting that the 26-year-old isn't solely focused on getting traded to a big market destination.

Afterthought: Many believe Leonard’s reps are happy with hostilities so he’ll be traded to a big market. That’s unequivocally untrue, asserts my source. “We all think he’s better off in San Antonio. We’d all like to see him stay. But he’s the offended party. It’s his decision. Kawhi’s pulling all the levers.”

There has been the assumption that Leonard's only desire is to wind up in Los Angeles, but this latest report suggests that he could be open to the possibility of going elsewhere if the situation is right. The Lakers and Clippers could be the frontrunner in the conversation, but these two are not the only teams that could present a strong land chance to land the former two-time Defensive Player of the Year.

It is quite a complicated matter that has many different possible scenarios unfold about where Leonard will land if he remains firm on wanting to be traded. He may be open to other options, but it's clear that playing in his hometown remains the top option. The Lakers currently hold the upper hand in that conversation due to the young promising talent that they could offer the Spurs in a potential deal.

However, San Antonio has remained firm to avoid going that route of moving him to their longtime division rivals. It is simply still a complex fluid situation that has no timeline at the moment in terms of when a resolution will be made.
