Idk the Cavs are pretty ty and LeBron has been playing all year. At least the spurs play D
maybe a 3-way with Ariza and Beal going to SA like some idiots in ST wished, with Kawhi going to Houston and a few picks for Wizards

what makes you think we aren't about to blow up? We have a few tradeable assets that can fetch quite a bit right now. And, barring a huge uptick in play and sudden change of team iden y, small prospects of getting past the second round of the playoffs.
A le and FMVP as the #4 option aren't what superstars thrive for
Pop's "rest management" hasn't proven to be effective, these injuries are mostly uncontrollable..his plans didn't stop injuries in 2015, 2017 or 2018 and his minutes allocation arguably lost SA the 2016 semis, as well IMO..he's as extreme as Thibs..
Oh, I know Tim played big minutes. I was looking at some of the minutes he played against the Lakers in the 2002 playoff series that someone brought up here not too long ago. I already knew it, but if was interesting to see the actual numbers. I was telling people that Tim played big minutes up until around 2007 or so before seeing those numbers as I was just going off of what I remembered. His minutes were going down before 2007 and 2008 due to injuries, but he mostly played big minutes when he was in his prime and healthy.
Pop needs to wake up. Star players don't want this minutes management in their prime.
Man, I really do believe the minutes management absolutely killed the Spurs in the 2016 WCSFs. OKC went on game breaking runs when he was resting players and they were still playing Durant or Westbrook when Kawhi was sitting on the bench.A le and FMVP as the #4 option aren't what superstars thrive for

And we've heard PLENTY of rumors of LeBron leaving, tensions with the coach, Cavs trading before the deadline, etc... They still are a lock for the finals pretty much, as the east hasn't been able to compete with them at the playoff level. That cannot be said at all for the Spurs though.
The Spurs' unwillingness to change (Eg, not making trades before the deadline) will define Kawhi's leaving the team.
I will say I don't think he is as tough as Tim. Tim played with bad pain in his knee for years. He had 2 messed up ankles going into the 2005 playoffs..
This thread has "Jimmer" potential in terms of number of posts.
What do you think Kawhi is doing differently than Duncan in the locker room? Do you see Kawhi being vocal about his discomfort and contaminating the environment? I don't.
Nah bruh - give them EnnisLets give them Caruso too bruh
A missed diagnosis wouldn't be surprising, it happens.
It happened with Mahinmi and it cost him a season. Except that he was treated like he was soft or weak despite the fact that there was something wrong in his leg. Then Pop treated him like garbage and refused to give him an honest chance, leading many of the more foolish posters to think he couldn't play.
And with Kawhi you get weird Pop quotes, in the vein of, "Gee, we've NEVER seem this before, everyone else recovers just fine. Wow."
Kawhi needs to go get second and third opinions on his indefinite leave.
you can't separate a franchise from it's roster. The early 90's were terrible from a franchise standpoint. The coaching, the players, the Alamo Dome.
No way. If Kawhi walks you just tank. No reason to make the odds of the tank 100% by trading him for 30 cents on the dollar.
Same usual suspects coming out of the woodwork and having a field day when presented with the chance to on the Spurs per par
Playing him like 15 MPG in the last week of the season to take his PPG from 27 to 25 was the most embarrassing thing I have seen a coach do to his MVP candidate player..
Hey ESPN just reported the Patriots have turmoil in the locker room between star, coach and ownership too. Look how it turned out for them.
Only difference is that Kawhi's injury is more serious than Tom Brady'sHey ESPN just reported the Patriots have turmoil in the locker room between star, coach and ownership too. Look how it turned out for them.
Yall gonna keep wearing those pink glasses, I see?Hey ESPN just reported the Patriots have turmoil in the locker room between star, coach and ownership too. Look how it turned out for them.
he would fetch way more than 30 cents. You can easily get a big star from another team that is also going through rough times. I'd bet if we called Memphis and asked for Gasol + Conley, or if we called Portland and asked for Lillard and McCollum , they would scoff but then be interested.
Sigh. Locker room is not just about literally inside the locker room. It’s about voicing displeasure publicly, letting stories like this get out and how you interact with management behind closed doors.
ing bold me, spursistan TimDunkem TheDoctor apalisoc_9 and many others that called this.
Like clockwork. He's been LA bound ever since this pathetic roster was formed
Very little info given. If the injury is the only "rfit" then I would imagine once he gets healthy things will be able to be repaired. But again, there is very little substance to the article.
Woj doing a hit piece since SA doesn’t give him any scoops. He can’t get in so he’s helping his sources by trying to create a rift.
This. Its beyond stupid.
TBH I don't completely disagree with this. No start likes having ty teammates and no real prospect of winning (Melo aside).
