Kawhi Leonard expects to remain with Spurs for life

The Spurs have big plans for this summer, among them the idea of replacing Tim Duncan with a free agent such as Marc Gasol if "The Big Fundamental" retires as expected. And with Kawhi Leonard's salary cap hold proving so prohibitive had he received the extension he so desired, he's confident their vision will be realized.

"I was never upset about (the extension)," Leonard said. "I mean they explained to me what their deal is and why they didn't do it yet. That'll play out."

"I don't think I'm going anywhere," Leonard said. "I mean they love me here. I like the organization, and if it was up to me, I want to finish out with one team like a lot of great players have done, to stay with one organization their whole career and just be loyal to that. You never know. We'll see what happens next summer, but I'm pretty sure I'll be in a Spurs jersey for my whole life."
