Report: Kawhi Leonard’s family feels that playing for the Spurs has ‘hurt his marketability’

Whether Kawhi Leonard is actually unhappy with the San Antonio Spurs or if the Los Angeles Lakers have a real chance to trade for him will be topics of debate all offseason, fueled by every single update or report on the situation.

Things aren’t looking so good for San Antonio on that front. Amid worries from the Spurs that Leonard’s agents are trying to get him to a larger market, his representatives are apparently not the only ones who aren’t happy with Leonard’s current workplace.

In fact, according to Scott Davis of Business Insider, Leonard’s family thinks that playing for the Spurs has made his own individual brand less lucrative:

A league source told Business Insider that Leonard’s agency and family have never been fond of Texas and feel that San Antonio, a small market, has hurt Leonard’s marketability when it comes to sponsors.
