Kawhi in MJ mode

[SpurPadre]

Van Gundy taking shots at Kawhi, LOL!

The fat one or the bald one? And what did he say?

[SpurPadre]

Kawhi in Retarded MJ mode

FIFY

[Slippy]

If not for Kawhi playing like MJ on offense the raptors would be getting smashed by the Sixers. He dominating on offense but team Sixers better so far

[Fusternino]

The bald one. Says that Kawhi chose to sit all of the games he missed and sitting games should not be considered an accomplishment. Gave praise to the rest of the team.

Beautiful! Preach Fat Van Gundy!!!! Call that ###### out!

Siakam with the trip. Scrub.

[Fusternino]

Mark Jackson calling out Kawhi . . . what's the point in load management all season if you're not gonna go all out now?

[BillMc]

Yes Duncan didn't like AJ's constant nagging and also didn't like how he tried to push religion on the team. He put up with it up until the Spurs got swept by the Lakers in '01. AJ was an FA and the Spurs didn't re-sign him. Spurs drafted Parker that summer and AJ responded after the Spurs refused to resign him by saying something along the lines "They drafted a kid to do a man's job." There was a telling interview many years ago during the '06 playoffs where they asked Duncan if he could ever play for AJ and Duncan responded by saying no not a chance. AJ also admitted during his retirement ceremony that he did drive Duncan nuts when he said and I'm paraphrasing "Tim thanks for putting up me."

Wow, very interesting. I didn't know that. Thanks. Did Duncan speak when they retired AJ's jersey? Sounds like it is unlikely.

[Mikeanaro]

FIFY
Jordan would have 60 point games every night in this pussy ass era.

[offset formation]

Wow, very interesting. I didn't know that. Thanks. Did Duncan speak when they retired AJ's jersey? Sounds like it is unlikely.

Me neither. I figured if Duncan was irritated by AJ and his religious expressions he might have been by the Admiral's tendency to wear his religion on his sleeve too. Wonder what if any differences there were/are between the two because it seems Duncan and David are tight today...training together and what not.

No but they hugged it out. Watch the first two minutes of this clip it's pretty entertaining to see the praise AJ had for Duncan. You will see at the end of AJ's rant both of them hug each other.

Dave admitted in SI article back in '03 that Tim was atheist. He didn't say it directly but indirectly by saying this and I'm paraphrasing "It really shocked me at first that how Tim who is a good person could not believe in god. It was the first time in my life I can recall being around some who is good but doesn't not have a religious connection. Tim is still my brother but if he ever wants to have connection with God I'm here." Dave always accepted Tim for who he was and that's why they are still close today.

[spurs10]

You mean after what Nephew did to us, right?

He cockblocked every decent trade from the get-go by limiting his destination to only LA. That immediately deflated any and all trade offers. I get disgusted by people that blame PATFO when only one person (or group) deserves every ounce of our animus. Try not to forget this.

As it was, we still got our starting center for the next decade+ out of it and whatever Pop an mold out of DD and the 29th pick. I concur with Bill Mc, great post!

BREAKING NEWS




Kawhi is a ######

[duncan2k5]

Taking a small sample of shots as a volume shooter at 27 years old is a garbage stat when you try to compare SIX years from the time he was 19 years old to 25 YO as a developing player. Typical ESPN. Did Pop ever have #2 go as many minutes as the Nursemaid did last night in a non-OT game?

The point is not about the fact that this guy is a great player. The FACTs are that he and his group cannot be trusted to be available to have him play lets say 80-90% of his games in a RS. No back to backs might continue. He was "broken down" in 2018 and could not get past the 2nd round in 2017. Paying a Supermax to this guy would have been a questionable decision at best ESPECIALLY last summer. Nephew is a snake. He will always be a snake. I don't care if his team wins a championship some time in the future. If you can't see this, you are blind.

Spitting in Pop's face and the Spurs Organization's face is not a good look. I hope the Clips drop $190M on this guy and experience HEAVY load management. They would deserve it. Their owner is a creepy weirdo kind of like Nephew.

Wait, what?? Bro u sound nuts! Kawhi made it to the WCF in 2017... He missed time in the Houston series because he stepped on someone's ankle

[duncan2k5]

He wasn't ringing no matter what this year as long as the Warriors still exist. He already won by answering the skeptics about his health/durability after last season. The man's been balling and straight-up carrying a shit team in Toronto.

Real talk: the Spurs fucked up by not dumping Porker years ago when he was freezing out Kawhi every game. Without Porker around to run him offPERIOD, Kawhi would have been a Spur for life.

All facts

[duncan2k5]

Clipper Guy,

How do you win by giving up $50-60MM you could have earned from the Spurs Guaranteed just by playing ball and not being an A-hole along with his "Group". Kawhi has no attraction regarding endorsements at all to the extent he could make up the money SA could have paid him. He has answered no questions regarding durability by missing every fourth game and never playing a back to back two or three years after his supposed injury occurred. He won't even articulate what is actually wrong with him. The Spurs totally sheltered him for years and he thinks all he has to do is pretend what he and his group did was proper behavior. Look it - Nephew stole over $20MM dollars last season. Period. The guy never was injured in that nothing was torn or broken.

The San Diego Clippers signed a broken Bill Walton a long long time ago and he did nothing for them. I believe Nephew's chronic knee issues are going nowhere and he will have issues for however long he plays - I see a repeat situation. Sign at your own risk Clipps.

Half of ur post u said he was faking injury and the other half u said he will be injured forever... Lmfao! U guys are absolutely nuts

[daslicer]

Sixers are half way there. Just got get 2 more.

[SpurPadre]

Jordan would have 60 point games every night in this pussy ass era.

Yup, along with 10+ rebounds, 5+ steals, and over a block a game.

[SpurPadre]

Brett Brown surely feels obligated in beating Load Management for us, tbh.

LHPsyElalmY Yeah I always heard that Tim didn't dig the 'soapbox preaching' of AJ. It would drive anybody crazy though! In the end they are probably pals...that don't hang out much. :)

Manu's also an atheist I think. Robinson and Avery seemed to be a part of that overly religious old guard, like Mark Jackson. Prayer circles and shit.

Yup I heard Manu admit it several years ago. I suspect that's part of the reason why Manu and Tim were close since they shared similar beliefs.

[SpurPadre]

Right on Brett! Need to make a statue for the man!

Two more wins and he better at least get a standing ovation next time the Sixers come to San Antonio next season.

[MoSpur02]

Glad the national media is sort of calling out Kawhi. Said it since like Jan/Feb of 2018 that Kawhi Leonard was faking the injury. He didn't want to play for the Spurs anymore. He tried to throw the Spurs medical staff under the bus, but all along it was him not wanting to play in San Antonio anymore.

[BillMc]

Right on Brett! Need to make a statue for the man!
:bobo

Everyone's talking about how the Spurs got screwed in this deal but Toronto may have given up everything for a 2nd round exit and no future. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Go Brett!!!

It's sad when our success is based on how well another team does, even though we are long eliminated

[TheGreatYacht]

Kawhi is shooting 61% from the field and is playing 38 minutes a night this series. Rest of the Raps are shooting 37%.

Leave it to the fat Christian hamster Mark Jackson to call out the wrong person. I guess fat point guards have to look out for one another. He's just deflecting from Draymond calling him out for almost ending his career because he forced Dray to be a Small Forward lmfao.

Talking about Draymond.... He said there's 82 game players (DeFrozan) and 16 game players (Kawhi) tbh

[Kobe'sAchilles]

I did say early on that I believed the Raptors were a second round exit. I don't think they really match up well with any of the other top teams in the East. Boston and Milwaukee can keep Kawhi pretty much in check while Philly is just really loaded with talent. All this hype for Toronto this year and they are going to go out in the same round as last year.

The (few) Kawhi stans will cry about his supporting cast, bring up that he's scoring 30 points a game and what more could he do. But I argue that he has ruined Toronto's title quest with his load management. Kyle Lowry was legit injured this year and since Kawhi refuse to play games, they never learned how to play together. Toronto had to learn how to play 2 different styles all year long with team ball and ball movement in the games without Kawhi to just standing around and watching Kawhi go iso and never really get a rhythm. It took Boston the entire year how to play with Kyrie and his ball dominant self, it was selfish and foolish of Kawhi to believe that it would work for the benefit of Toronto for him to sit out.

I believe we would've taken the Raptors out in 6. Getting the ultimate revenge on that bitch would've been enough of an incentive for us not to have choked any game in that series, tbh.

Better team won and better player went to the short bus.
Also you make it sound like 33 points its an outstanding accomplishment, Embiid did the same.

[vander]

Man he sure is showing up big time in the playoffs. Makes it extra sweet that his new team is letting him down so much.

And I worry about his degenerative condition tbh, he's playing 36 mpg with a high usage rate and not resting any games. He could be doing long term permanent damage to his knees or quads or tendons whatever it was.

Don't be naive. His season inToronto, when it ends, really just marks the culmination of his final (contract) year with the Spurs. And he screwed over this franchise and what he did likely would have kneecapped most any other team in the League. As it is, we've had two subpar years (by Spurs standards, of course) and are poised for a nice rebound next year. Meanwhile as Bill mentioned above, seeing how it plays out in Toronto is the final act of the trade. It puts a stamp on the trade as either successful or not. If at the end of the day Toronto has a worse regular season and an equal exit in the playoffs, all while giving us a first rounder and our starting center and second best player, and they are left with nothing, that is certainly going to registerwith fans here. Don't be such a playerfan and pull your head out of your ass.

After he leaves Toronto and goes home, there will likely be one more year of passing interest in his fate, but then should start fading from there on for most of this fanbase. It won't for me though. That motherfucker put the equivalent of a smear campaign and hit job on my team. I ain't ever gonna forget that.

It's Kawhi Derangement Syndrome.

But it's basically because the Spurs have become so lackluster and mediocre, with no chance at the title. That's an unpleasant situation.

[DPG21920]

Tor still has a good team around Kawhi and I would be legit shocked if PHI sonned them.

If TOR loses to PHI it will be devastating to the franchise. Kawhi would leave for sure, at best they over pay Gasol to try and remain a playoff team and worst they toil as a lottery team for a few years.

[gambit1990]

no, it wouldn't :lol

Entirely possible. I saw him get pissed at Siakam though at one point in the 3rd, he was waving Siakam away to the other side so he could iso. Siakam refused though and set a screen for him wsy out top. Kawhi scored.

[Kobe'sAchilles]

Here's my question: Is Kawhi in charge of his minutes or is Nick Nurse. Bc the organization had no say so in him not playing back to backs so I'm wondering if they also have no say in him not playing 40 minutes a game. I kinda thought that was the whole point behind the sitting out games in the regular season, so he could be healthy enough to play big minutes in the postseason.

Think about it this way.
Nephew's iso game resembles MJ's and Kobe's game.
Those two were known for chewing out their teammates in practise,always demading excellence and 110% effort in games.Not in the Tim Duncan "nurturing" way but in the trashtalking,push to the limit way.

Does #2 seem like a dude who would hold someone accountable?
Do we really think he confronted Lowry after the game and asked him wtf was he doing?

Didn't we see some kind of variation of this shit when he was on the Spurs and the team seemed lost when he was going to the bench cause he was the system?
And the Spurs had legends in the roster and Pop on the bench,not Nurse and Lowry.

[DPG21920]

no, it wouldn't :lol

I don’t care how much people hate DeRozan to go from a playoff team to lottery team for years possibly due to a trade, for a franchise like TOR is a big deal.

People say clearing DeRozan was a win no matter what but not if it doesn’t lead to actually being able to lure talent and continue building towards being better than you were.

I know it was a good gamble and worth it; that doesn’t mean there isn’t a downside to be realized

It is why I would say all in all this was a successful season. With Pop staying 3 years, young talent, plus Derozan and Aldridge Future is pretty bright but so are a lot of other teams. I'll say Popovich will start to garner a lot of free agent attention these next few years. His clout and actual skill is becoming stronger and better. Hope we can pick up a ready PF to start next to Aldridge or come off the bench as a 6th man type big.

[J_Paco]

And you suffer from Pop derangement syndrome. Dumbasses like you believe if #2 wins a championship that somehow Pop and the FO will be humbled.

Yeah, like his deciding to leave (for unknown or specified reasons) and possibly winning elsewhere would trump 5 championships and 20+ years of success. Only in the mind's of Kawhitards does that add up.

I knew all along they would struggle to beat either 76er, Celtics or Bucks do to their "poor roster construction" (where have I heard that before?), lack of a great 2nd option and a quality 6th man. Pascal is another year away (from being a good/great 2nd option), Marc Gasol/Kyle Lowry's best days are behind them (with both having fatal flaws) and VanVleet is a Patty Mills clone (as a 6th man).

They could still pull this series out but are dead in the water against Milwaukee or Boston....

[J_Paco]

your post would've made more sense if the Raptors didn't squander that money they saved by trading DeRozan on Marc Gasol.

And Marc's game is gonna age way, way worse than DeMar. And they have the added pressure of resigning Marc so they look like they are attempting to "stay competitive" if Kawhi walks.....

[Dverde]

Nephew going to struggle next game playing 37 minutes two days before. Calling 6 -20, 18 points. He proved his greatness is back. I don’t think he cares about the team much. He gone.

[RC_Drunkford]

Didn't we see some kind of variation of this shit when he was on the Spurs and the team seemed lost when he was going to the bench cause he was the system?
And the Spurs had legends in the roster and Pop on the bench,not Nurse and Lowry.

As good as he is, he freezes out other team mates quite a lot. He's super efficient, but hasn't learned how to make players around him better

[SAGirl]

Watched the game, without Kawhi, the Raptors couldn't score. The moment he sat a few minutes, Lowry was missing shots and Pascal was getting blocked by Embiid or passing up 3 pt shots. Van Fleet and Danny were missing open 3s in the 4th Q. Without Kawhi they went through stretches they couldn't get anything going in the 3rd and 4th Q.

But the key matchup is Marc Gasol not being able to do anything about Embiid. Embiid has been fantastic both ends.

[duncan2k5]

So far basketball is a team game, your Nephew lost because he cant be a team player.
Better team won and better player went to the short bus.
Also you make it sound like 33 points its an outstanding accomplishment, Embiid did the same.

So by ur logic, everytime Duncan lost, it was because he couldn't be a team player

[duncan2k5]

Man he sure is showing up big time in the playoffs. Makes it extra sweet that his new team is letting him down so much.

And I worry about his degenerative condition tbh, he's playing 36 mpg with a high usage rate and not resting any games. He could be doing long term permanent damage to his knees or quads or tendons whatever it was.

That motherfucker put the equivalent of a smear campaign and hit job on my team. I ain't ever gonna forget that.

Bro... As raptors fans see it, they are happy regardless to be rid of DeRozan, Kawhi or no Kawhi

[duncan2k5]

Don't be naive. His season inToronto, when it ends, really just marks the culmination of his final (contract) year with the Spurs. And he screwed over this franchise and what he did likely would have kneecapped most any other team in the League. As it is, we've had two subpar years (by Spurs standards, of course) and are poised for a nice rebound next year. Meanwhile as Bill mentioned above, seeing how it plays out in Toronto is the final act of the trade. It puts a stamp on the trade as either successful or not. If at the end of the day Toronto has a worse regular season and an equal exit in the playoffs, all while giving us a first rounder and our starting center and second best player, and they are left with nothing, that is certainly going to registerwith fans here. Don't be such a playerfan and pull your head out of your ass.

He put a smear job on the spurs? I saw it the complete opposite... No one ever came out publicly from Kawhi's camp... Only the Spurs... Down to David Robinson and Bruce bowen were smearing him

[duncan2k5]

I wonder if Kawhi's heavy iso game ninja mind fucks the other players to just stand on the court, watch Kawhi and do nothing? Then when he's off, they are still in character?

What was their excuse all prior years? Kawhi was in their heads from San Antonio?

Lol. Publicly, you say, like no one was going to notice.

And I see you have zero pushback on my assertion he put the equivalent of a hit job on us by not publicly, lol, demanding a trade to LA knowing full damn well what that would do to his trade value. Nevermind all the BS shade thrown at PATFO for being too controlling and mean.

Have you ever wondered to yourself why you see it differently than most everyone else on this board? Why you are so willing to grant him a pass for not publicly, lol, doing everything in his power to destroy a franchise?

And why do you hate LMA as much as you do? It's almost like you hold him responsible for Kawhi's immaturity and ensuing departure. In case you haven't been paying attention, he's pretty much been unfairly saddled with carrying this team on his own for the past two seasons.

Bro... As raptors fans see it, they are happy regardless to be rid of DeRozan, Kawhi or no Kawhi

Good for Raptors fans. And to clarify, they are going to be "no Kawhi" after 2 more losses. Meanwhile, they are also going to be without a 1st round pick, a center (hello Mr. Poeltl), unless they want to give a bloated contract to Gasol. And they'll also need to pay Lowry, assuming they want to keep him, along with Green and Gasol. Or do they just go rebuild? So yeah, that seemingly worked out really well for them, huh?

Meanwhile Sours have starting center locked up, a first round pick, and an overpaid but good scorer at 29 years old. You sure you aren't a Raptors fan?

In his attempt to get away from one useless Gasol he ended up with another just as useless. Can og Gasol somehow end his career in a Clippers uniform or Masai somehow convince J.West and the Clippers to get Mark there.

- Yeah Raps fans are disgusting with the officiating blaming. Its worse than spur fans.

- His on and off numbers is ridiculous though. It makes sense to play him 42+ minutes. When Kawhi is on the court the Raps have outplayed the sixers. They've just been taking advantage of nurse Delusional 2PG lineup plus powell at 6'4 as an SF.

- I don't get why its so hard to play him 42+. Sub him out at the end of the first. The Rest between quarters, and two minute from the 12 minutes of the second is almost 10 minutes in real time minutes.

He really should be playing 44. If Kawhi wants to play the he wants to play. He needs to play 44+

You're a real scumbag. This dude lost the OKC series getting destroyed by Durant in the second half of game 4. How about getting locked by Andre Roberson n game 2 while LA was balling. I'm not going to bring up the last 4 games of the Clippers series when he got shut down by Matt Barnes.

Nah he was the clear cut first option. If not then why is Kawhi considered so great then if he only had one season before this one as a lead dog. That year coming off a Finals MVP he was looked at as the teams best player but he choked so you want to say he wasn't the first option same happened the year after when he choked against OKC and now he's the lead dog this year and will get stomped by Philly.

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

:lol Wow already defending him before he signs with the Clippers. At least wait until July 1st when he signs with the clippers before knob slobbing him.

1. He's not proving anything to me other then proving my point from last year that he was faking injury. The media knew he was faking it but pushed the narrative he was hurt so they could get him traded to the Lakers.
2. The media for the most part is corrupt and are going to protect these superstars for the most part. Look at Durant for example the worst the media can say about him is that it's debatable if he's the best player in the league. I don't expect them to ever trash #2. If they ever do trash him it won't be for at least another 3-4 years and it would be due to him not ringing in that time period.
3. He didn't leave because of Parker. Stephen A has stated that his mind was made up a long time ago before the Parker fiasco and that he just didn't want to be in SA. Stephen A said that he just wanted to be home. His camp just used Parker as an excuse to leave. If he wanted Parker gone the Spurs would have gotten rid of him to appease #2. Avery Johnson got kicked off the Spurs many years ago due to Duncan hating him and AJ was actually closer to Pop than Parker.
4. He's playing great. Definitely a top 3 player but stop with your typical hyperbole bs in acting like he inherited a lottery team. He inherited basically the same team that had the best record in the East last year along with an improved Siakam.
5. Even if the Raptors don't have a chance of ringing this year due to the Warriors I will still enjoy seeing him lose. They are certain players I have despised over the years and have taken great pleasure in seeing them lose even when they weren't threats to win it all ala Kobe from '04-'07 and '11-'13. I will enjoy it every year whenever #2 loses in the playoffs. Granted he could ring again in the future with the Clippers but we'll see. Nothing is guaranteed.

This post is 100% freaking fire lol

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Glad the national media is sort of calling out Kawhi. Said it since like Jan/Feb of 2018 that Kawhi Leonard was faking the injury. He didn't want to play for the Spurs anymore. He tried to throw the Spurs medical staff under the bus, but all along it was him not wanting to play in San Antonio anymore.

If the Celtics had, they'd likely be facing a similar situation to Toronto, tbh. Spurs would have been better off but I'm sure that's exactly what his camp was trying to destroy.

It wasn't just the ankle.Many were reporting that his quad had already flared up during the Rockets series and it was getting worse as we were moving deeper in the playoffs.
I'm bored to seach up tweets about it but i clearly remember talking heads at both ESPN and FS1 saying that even if his ankle holds up he still has an inflamed quad.
I guess after gm3 in SA they decided to just shut him down since the series was not winnable at that point.

Because I don't think Kawhi did something to us... I think we did something to Kawhi... Spurs were met with resistance once in their lives from a star player (not trusting their doctors and wanting more opinions after very visibly playing with pain), and didn't know how to handle it... Spurs were acting like a psycho girlfriend... The guy is straightforward and telling u what it is, yet still u make up crazy scenarios and send your friends to talk shit about him publicly

[daslicer]

He strikes me as the kind of dude that sits in his house all day anyway.. So why does it matter where he lives?

:lol Well you should know by now it's not about him it's about his Uncle. Uncle Dennis felt bored in SA and want's to live the LA lifestyle. I'm convinced#2 would have as much fun in LA as he would playing ball in Baghdad.

Like he wasn't being hidden in NYC from Spurs officials. Hardly straightforward man

[Realdeal1]

Why are kahwi groupies still here on this board? Go to a raptor forum or clippers forum ...sheesh ... they're so annoying

[offset formation]

So now in hindsight he was a hero? We were mocking him and calling him touches... He didn't complain, but he damn sure showed it on his face on court, and lamented publicly about going back to play with lillard

Who is this we you keep referencing. I certainly wasn't mocking him. And there's nothing at all wrong with wanting to be involved in a gameplan. #2 iso balls and the ball stopped flowing throughLMA which made him useless.

He's been an all star 3 of the 4 years he's been here. And ultimately what I rely on is what his coaches and teammates think of him. Manu sure thinks highly of him. As do all the players on last year's team. I've heard praise from Gay, DD, Mills, Forbes, Bertans, etc this year. And Pop has had zero hesitation to praise him for his work on both ends of the court, on and off the court, gameday or not.

So take your PhD in Disgruntled NBA Facial Analysis and shove it up your ass. You know shit about LMA or his value and roll with the team.

[SpursBig3s]

It’s obvious Duncan2k5 is part of kawhi’s group or something. There’s literally no logical reason for him to twist the narrative to favor kawhi this much

[timvp]

Uh oh, Siakam doubtful for Game 4. Sounds like he injured his calf tripping Embiid.

[offset formation]

Karma, she's a bitch.

[RC_Drunkford]

at the end of the day, if you are a grown man and let your uncle do your decisions for you, you're a sucker. That's what all of this comes down to. Kawhi ain't his own man, he does what his uncle tells him to do. I understand that he's loyal to him since Uncle Dennis took care of him once he lost his father, but still. Being loyal and making decisions based on what other people in your circle want are 2 different things. If you're a grown man, you're supposed to make your own decisions. When has Kawhi not come across as a bigass baby? He's shy, he doesn't want to talk, he's never seemed like a grown man standing on his own 2

All this basically happened because Uncle Dennis wanted a position in the front office and start his agency and he got these rich guys from NY to invest into that plan. None of that shit wouldn't have happened if that wasn't the plan. And at the end of the day it's on Kawhi, cause he let his Uncle play those games instead of manning up and telling him to cut that shit out. Remember Kawhi fired his agent. His agent and the Spurs had a great relationship. All that went downhill once he fired that guy and let his uncle take over

People seem to have forgotten that part and think it was the "injury". By the way duncan2k5 is gargling Kawhi's dick harder than the Toronto Raptors

As if those same ppl never praised Kawhi... LMA iso balls as much as anyone, difference is Kawhi is much better in every aspect of the game, and isn't selfish... Kawhi doesn't pout and become ineffective when the ball doesn't go through him... LMA needs to be the number one option, or else he is out! Ask lillard

They were stupid to try to stiff him. A LOT of the shit that came out about this whole situation, and Impact came out during the discovery portion of the suit. You can’t fire an agent, and then not pay a commission on the entire contract that he negotiated. It’s just not even legally defensible, and I hope he takes Impact to the cleaners.

Let's say that's true, just for the sake of argument. That nephew was hurt, didn't trust the Spurs docs and wanted more opinions after playing in pain. The Spurs then behave in a way that he doesn't like, as you say, "like a psycho girlfriend" by making up crazy scenarios and talking shit.


Kawhi and his people then make it publicly known that he wants to be traded, and will only sign long-term in Los Angeles, making it impossible for the Spurs to get anything close to equal value. Doesn't that count as "doing something" to the Spurs? Honest question.

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Everyone knows he faked his damn injury and lied. Anyone saying anything different is delusional. And I can't stand Pop or the front office, but it's obvious Kawhi lied like a motherfucker and fucked over his team. I will never forget. Hope he loses, I'll be laughing.

Leonard at the end of the day is a complete and total fucking bitch who will get what is coming to him. He’s a quitter who is soft and will never be a champion ever again for the rest of his career. Also I believe the time for him to be viewed as a great player is running short. He misses too many games. And already there are players in his own conference better than he is. Doesn’t matter what conference he plays in next year. The clock is ticking on him being viewed as an elite player. He doesn’t have much time left.

[Harry Callahan]

Brian Elfus is the agent being stiffed. Impact Sports is the "they". Elfus negotiated the contract for #2 with the Spurs through Impact Sports in 2015 (a Max Contract at the time for #2). The next year (2016), Impact Sports fired Elfus and replaced him with the football agent (the one who works for ex-NFLer Cris Carter) working out of his trunk. This was part of Uncle Dennis' plan to move in and get the Nephew out of SA.

Impact Sports never paid Elfus for the legal contract he negotiated. Thus the ongoing lawsuit. Elfus had to deal with an unprofessional organization with Impact Sports and the Spurs had to deal with the nonsense as well.

[Harry Callahan]

Take a #2 lost vs Clips with a stacked team.

Kyrie with Lebron beat the 73 win Warriors, same age as K-Tard.
Doncic is only 20.

As you said he is almost 30 and new guys steal the spotlight, cycle of life.

[4thdimension]

Kawhi has been the best player so far in the playoffs.. This sucks.

Kawhi is great in this game but this game is more about the Sixers, Embiid's health and conditioning, Harris missing all the open shots and their pathetic af bench.

Embid bad today. And without him playing like in game 3 they don't have a chance to go all the way, IMHO. Philly will learn with defeats. Still can pull it off but not with their best guy playing like today. It was a game that was completely in reach until the very last minute or so.

No one knows that for sure. By the time "offers" were supposed to happen he had already slashed the Spurs in half asking for a trade and not playing for over a year. I'm always mesmerized by your takes in general - they are some of the worst in this site. Sorry but I had to say that...

with all due respect, don't raise up Manu more than he deserves, it's only bring antagonism towards him, don't ever put him in the same breath as Timmy..
And you should very much miss kawhi, once in a lifetime player, the one player who's really the closest thing to Timmy, and also great, humble man that you want to identify with... Don't believe what you heard on media about him, he was really hurt and needed to take a year off to work on his body, blame pop for causing him to leave, kawhi had good reasons!

Kawhi wanted a trade. And he probably would have left anyway, but theres plenty of talk already that suggest the spurs didnt want to offer the supermax because of the question mark of his injury.

Sure kawhi would have left eventually..Maybe.

But the spurs were also too arrogant to realize players run franchises. So they opted not to offer the max.

Kawhi Leonard has offered me as a Spurs fan,less joy than heartbreak from 2015 to 2018,basically from when he exploded as the new #1 option in offense,as the new Spurs system personified till the moment he requested to be traded.

Kawhi Leonard has offered me a round 1 exit in 2015 when Matt Barnes has his balls and dick in Kawhi's face and he was slapping him around in gm7 in LA.
Kawhi Leonard has offered me a round 2 exit in 2016 when Andre Roberson imposed his will on Kawhi's ass when at the same time KD was dropping 40 on the Spurs.

Kawhi Leonard broke down in 2017 (Not just cause of Zaza but cause of his injured,inflamed quad) while having an amazing playoff run and the team went fishing as soon as he went down.

Kawhi Leonard fucked the whole franchise in the ass in 2018,stole about 20million $ and he was then sent to Canada.

So,no sir,i am not missing Kawhi Leonard.Is he a great player? He is. Is he a bitch? He most certainly is.

I thank him for his effort in 2014 and that's it.And he was rewarded in riches for what he did in 2014.

Apart from that,Fuck Kawhi.

And you should very much miss kawhi, once in a lifetime player, the one player who's really the closest thing to Timmy, and also great, humble man that you want to identify with... Don't believe what you heard on media about him, he was really hurt and needed to take a year off to work on his body, blame pop for causing him to leave, kawhi had good reasons!

Shut the fuck up you fucking retarded faggot. :lol

[vander]

Blame Pop? Maybe, but the most blame goes to Tony Parker..there was still hope for reconciliation before he questioned Kawhi's manhood .

that's stupid. if he quit because of some words from TP...

[TheSpurglar]

that's stupid. if he quit because of some words from TP...

Agreed. And again, pure speculation, which is pretty tiresome.

[HarlemHeat37]

that's stupid. if he quit because of some words from TP...

It's certainly sensitive, but why did Parker have to say what he said? It was completely unnecessary..

[therealtruth]

I think it just shows that the Spurs were using Kawhi wrong like in 2015 against the Clippers.

[GreekSpursfan]

People still fall for RD2191's attempts to mess with their mind and feelings about a certain player. I got to give it up for RD2191.

[TheSpurglar]

It's certainly sensitive, but why did Parker have to say what he said? It was completely unnecessary..

Agreed. But wouldn't you also agree that demanding a trade to LA, when you still have a year left on your contract and know it'll impact your trade value, is also completely unnecessary? Not to mention actually harmful, unlike what Tony said.

[JeffDuncan]

People, people. Relax. Much ado about nothing. We still have Wombat!

Lol Ive been saying this for years. :lol

[Clipper Nation]

It's certainly sensitive, but why did Parker have to say what he said? It was completely unnecessary..

Porker fluffers just don't want to face facts. Their guy is the reason why Duncan and Manu have less rings than they should, and he's the reason why Kawhi left the Spurs. He's the French version of Kobe.

[LkrFan]

Also, the regret of Lakerfans for not trading their shitty players for Kawhi when they had the chance. :lmao

:lol Don't even try it. Short of trading Prime Shaq, Pop was NOT trading with the Lakers.

[HarlemHeat37]

Agreed. But wouldn't you also agree that demanding a trade to LA, when you still have a year left on your contract and know it'll impact your trade value, is also completely unnecessary? Not to mention actually harmful, unlike what Tony said.

Sure, I've been very anti-Kawhi in regards to what he did..doesn't mean I can't criticize Parker for his poor leadership, though..

[GreekSpursfan]

Who would disagree that Jimmy Butler is far better than DeRozan?:lol

I'm not a fan, but at least he's tough and you know he can give you other things when his scoring is off..

He's injury prone which Demar isn't and there is the locker room issue, so these two things alone make him just better not far better. Both can't lead a team, they are not cornerstone players. So some people based on those two things might disagree with us.

Let me tell you a story about Rob Diaz...

He is participating in online forums both here and in RealGM,for the past 7 years,posting frequently,as a Spurs fan.
Going to war in the other forum against people talking down about the Spurs,trolling other people to the point of being warned with permanent ban over there.

While he's carrying the Spurs colors and banner with pride,one unmemorable morning of last year,one Kawhi Leonard decides to ask for a trade from the Spurs.
The one who will forever be known as Nephew is eventually traded to the Toronto Raptors.

One Rob Diaz,this wonderful gentleman,puts down his Spurs Banner at that forum,changes his colors to the Raptors red and goes on very naturally to participate in the Raptor Forum over there as a long time Raptors Fan.

So...yeah... Don't worry about Rob.He's just trolling,don't feed the troll man.

[objective]

Should have sat Kawhi for the whole season instead of paying Toronto to take him

His playoffs performance this year is everything you need to know that his injury was fake and he could have played last year, he just quit and the Spurs let him do it like the pushovers they are

The guy averaged 4 steals a game in his last 3 games as a spur while leading the team in advanced stats on the season

He wasn't hurt even close to that bad. There's probably still people who believe that he has bones growing inside his quads like a mutant and might never play again after this year, :lol:

[LkrFan]

This can't be true:

1) Traded away your franchise player just as he enters his prime...

2) ...for Dumbar DeFrozen

3) No OG in return

4) No Siakam in return

5) And you PAID $5 milli rocks!?!?

Pop is the Kwame Brown of GMs :lol

[kobyz]

Kawhi Leonard has offered me as a Spurs fan,less joy than heartbreak from 2015 to 2018,basically from when he exploded as the new #1 option in offense,as the new Spurs system personified till the moment he requested to be traded.

Kawhi Leonard has offered me a round 1 exit in 2015 when Matt Barnes has his balls and dick in Kawhi's face and he was slapping him around in gm7 in LA.
Kawhi Leonard has offered me a round 2 exit in 2016 when Andre Roberson imposed his will on Kawhi's ass when at the same time KD was dropping 40 on the Spurs.

Kawhi Leonard broke down in 2017 (Not just cause of Zaza but cause of his injured,inflamed quad) while having an amazing playoff run and the team went fishing as soon as he went down.

Kawhi Leonard fucked the whole franchise in the ass in 2018,stole about 20million $ and he was then sent to Canada.

So,no sir,i am not missing Kawhi Leonard.Is he a great player? He is. Is he a bitch? He most certainly is.

I thank him for his effort in 2014 and that's it.And he was rewarded in riches for what he did in 2014.

Apart from that,Fuck Kawhi.
2015-2018 is all pop fault, pop stop carring about the team and winning, kawhi recognize it and one of the reason he wanted out of this fucked up situation...

Kawhi was headed to California. No matter what. Whether the divorce could have been handled better by either side is almost immaterial. The divorce was still happening.

[rasuo214]

Philly might be regretting not trading Simmons for Kawhi. Imagine Kawhi + Butler + Embiid.

[offset formation]

Kawhi shitting on ST once again, ST no need to be bitter about kawhi! it's okay to face reality and realized how pop fucked up everything, and then trading away kawhi which is unforgivable, he lost us kawhi and it's a crying for the ages but still, denial is not the answer!

I'm not sure if you're just dumb or ignorant.

[Twisted_Dawg]

I’ve been watching this 76ers vs raptors series pretty closely, Ben Simmons and Embiid are frauds, unbelievably overrated. Only reason 76ers have had a chance is because of butler and Harris

I've been watching also, and since the series doesn't affect the Spurs, I can watch more objectively with no emotion. All I can say is both teams, particularly Philly, has several low basketball IQ players making stupid turnovers, bad shot selection and playing hero ball.

[Twisted_Dawg]

Same with Boston.
