I remember very clearly where I was and what I was doing when Kawhi Leonard was traded. At my desk, in the middle of writing an article about Leonard, I received the text from my brand new editor.
I sat there in shock for a good ten minutes, and then, like every journalist is taught, I pivoted. The next evening my very first article was published here, at Pounding The Rock. The article was as positive as I felt I could make it, and forward looking, but as a fan of the team I just felt lost.
