Yeah, but Monroe's shine has definitely dimmed since Josh Smith got there, and while Bledsoe has tremendous potential, he can't stay healthy, and he's a PG, which the market is just way oversaturated with.  Parsons and Hayward both got max deals this off-season at the SF position.  There's no way Leonard won't unless he gets hurt like Bledsoe.

I'm positive the Spurs will match it anyways, but yeah, it definitely is interesting.  I think the Spurs are viewed as an attractive enough place that they aren't worried about locking Leonard in for that 5th year because they expect he'll want to come back anyways, whereas if it's a team like the Bucks, you kinda have to lock them in when you can so that they can't sign like a 2 year deal so that they can get out sooner or something.  The Spurs are just such an elite organization that I think guys like Kawhi will want to return, but who knows?

It'll be interesting to see if Kawhi makes the next step this year.  You'd think as one of the few young core pieces on that team that he'll get a ton of minutes relative to his teammates and will have an opportunity to prove that he can be the #1 or #2 option for stretches of games at least.  This is a big year for him.
