The San Antonio Spurs said that they are not actively looking to trade superstar Kawhi Leonard, but they have indeed opened up their phone lines in advance of the 2018 NBA Draft and free agency. On Tuesday night, just two days before the Draft, Yahoo Sports' Chris Mannix reported that the Spurs could indeed look to move Leonard with the writing potentially being on the wall already.
How the Spurs are operating, per multiple sources from teams that have checked in on Kawhi Leonard in recent days: We're not shopping him, but if you want to make us an offer, go ahead, we'll consider it.

On Thursday afternoon, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski added that the Spurs are still listening to offers, but they aren't necessarily ‘chasing down offers.'
Spurs are willing listeners on Kawhi Leonard trade proposals, but haven't been proactive in chasing down offers, league sources tell ESPN. For now, make an offer and they'll add it to their board. Spurs and Lakers have had no dialogue on Leonard.

Interestingly enough, Wojnarowski adds that the team that wants Leonard the most in the Los Angeles Lakers have not engaged in any trade conversations with the Spurs about the 2014 NBA Finals MVP.
