San Antonio Spurs fans have been waiting for this shoe to drop.
Multiple news outlets are reporting Friday afternoon that 2014 Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard wants to be traded from the Spurs.

ESPN reporter Adrian Wojnarowski followed up minutes later, expressing that Leonard would prefer a trade to Los Angeles, "preferably the Lakers."
