I'm convinced that the media is proactively trying to sabotage the Spurs.
I highlighted the parts which I thought were interesting and newsworthy.

I'm convinced that the media is proactively trying to sabotage the Spurs.
Woj also reporting that the Spurs' relationship with Kawhi is "broken" and that the Spurs will not blindly offer him the supermax.

I dont disagree.
Peter Holt has nothing to do with the decisions anymore
Weird tbh. Makes sense that Kawhi and his posse got wind of the Spurs being wary of the supermax early in the season and it snowballed into what you see today.
If Kawhi & Co. believed that the supermax was never in play then everything makes a lot more sense. Lot easier to leave a regular extension offer than a supermax offer.
It's pretty over the top, that's for sure.
Then again, how do you explain RC paying Patty and Pau
The media HATES the Spurs. For what reason I have no ing clue. It really is a phenomenon I am still trying to decipher.
I have no doubt in my mind that if Kawhi were healthy and playing SA would have no issue with the SuperMax
Unless NBA owners are stupid, they must have contractual stipulations to punish such actions (max-level players choosing not to play despite not being injured). Such action by a key player can destroy a team, as we all know.
I understand the reluctance to pay Kawhi, but it's funny that this is the same FO that gave Patty 50 million at 12:01 and signed Pau for like 48
You must have never seen Pop interact with the media.
Patty has been loyal, and a team player. Pau opted out to let the Spurs try to make off season moves last year. So they rewarded him.
Meanwhile, Kawhi ...
The key words there are "IF, HEALTHY, PLAYING." The Spurs' doctors cleared him. So some in the front office and players too think he is healthy. The players held a meeting to see if he was going to play. Obviously the answer to that was no. So that caused more friction and which is why some players didn't even want him on the sidelines during the games.
The front office feel as though Kawhi stole $19 million because he chose not to play to "rehab" in NY and was distant from the organization. All this is why the FO is probably not going to offer the extension.
Don't overthink it. They and their bosses get richer if Kawhi is in a big market.
Well MVP is our second best player, 10-12 Mil usually doesn’t get you a second option. RC is a genius.
There might be an announcement tomorrow from the front office.
That would be extremely strange unless it's Pop stepping down.
Most likely, tbh.
Nature?
Not 100% sure what it's related to be really honest. Possibly something with front office or ownership. Honestly not sure though.

Spurs better be on their hands and knees for Kawhi cause if he don't sign we might never see another like him on this team again.
Its a superstars league now. Lebron changed the game and Kawhi and his team know this. They call the shots. Spurs are a franchise in so much disarray they should try everything they can to appease him. Pop is in such a vulnerable state he may just give up and let Kawhi have whatever he wants.
Or, it could be that Kawhi refused an exit interview, and they’re done. It could be anything.
I CANNOT see Pop ever leaving the organization in this kind of state.
The media still hates the Spurs. I hear it and see it with my own two eyes all the time.
