Spurs' announcement of the Kawhi Leonard trade omits … lots of stuff

Share

The Spurs traded Kawhi Leonard to the Raptors on Wednesday morning, and here's what San Antonio's press-release announcement of the deal said about him:

"Leonard spent his first seven seasons in the NBA with the Spurs, appearing in a total of 407 games and averaging 16.3 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists."

That's it.

You might notice that the Spurs chose not to mention that Leonard ...

 -- Was voted 2014 NBA Finals MVP
 -- Was selected All-NBA First Team in 2016 and 2017
 -- Finished second in MVP voting in 2016 and third in 2017
 -- Was named NBA Defensive Player of the Year in 2015 and 2016

In addition, this was the Spurs' tweet thanking Danny Green:

This was the Spurs' tweet "thanking" Kawhi:

The font size is ... laugh-out-loud status.

But ultimately, you can't really blame the Spurs for acting like this.

You can firmly put this in the "bad breakup" category ...
