Young: sources tell @ExpressNews that Kawhi Leonard wants to be traded from Spurs

[Mugen]

Agreed. This doesn't help them save face either. It's a bat signal to future stars: if you don't stay in line, we'll embarrass you.

Not a good look tbh. Shaq trashed the Lakers and Kobe on his way out. He still got his number retired and a statue outside of Staples. The Lakers know how to treat stars, even if the star trashed them publicly. Probably a major reason why Lebron left $50 million on the table to play with a non-playoff unproven roster on a multi-year deal. Surprised the shit out of me. :lol

Yeah, LeBron realized that you actually don't have to bring winning basketball to LA for dumb fuck Laker fans to buy your jersey :lol

[AFBlue]

Quite. I especially love when Danny does those 360 in-game jams.

:lol

I said physically they're similar, not athletically.

[loveforthegame]

If half of this stuff is true why in the world would the Spurs try to repair the relationship? Why didn’t they report this to the league when it happened? If you were hoping to up his trade value you wouldn’t want to leak this kind of story until after.

Bizarre.

[LkrFan]

Spurs PR finally growing a pair and pushing back. Expose his uncle for the fraud he is tbh.

1014969734528471040

Airing dirty laundry is never good. And given that he's disgruntled is incentive for any GM to bend RC over with a 14-incher. How can you possibly fathom getting even in the same stratosphere of equal value after this bullshit? Wow :lol

Spurs were never going to get anywhere near equal return regardless. At some point, a team is going to get fed up with hearing about how they screwed up a situation horribly and wronged a player when said player's dumbass "camp" is clearly the one steering the ship into the ground. It's pretty obvious what's happening here.

[Budkin]

Airing dirty laundry is never good. And given that he's disgruntled is incentive for any GM to bend RC over with a 14-incher. How can you possibly fathom getting even in the same stratosphere of equal value after this bullshit? Wow :lol

Because they don't care about getting equal value, or really anything at all. They are not going to be played by amateur hour "Impact Sports."

[cd98]

It's a lazy take and troll. Yeah 70 year old white coach with military background can't get along with twenty-something black guy.

Except that he has a proven tract record of getting along with 20 year black guys, except Kawhi.

That's insane.

Wright also said that Kawhi is about "to get out of there, at least I think."

Please get this fuck off the team.

Fuck that. Force this bitch into retirement for a(nother) year. I don't want anything back. Seeing this piece of shit throw his career away is so much better a return.

Well, it's probably the realization that you have a top 3 player in the world and if you want to get anything close to value for him, then you have to try and repair a relationship that will either allow him to dump his representation and get on the right page or cooperate with his public comments and actions so you can trade him for value. His side has been leaking garbage for weeks about he only wants LA and he won't sign with anyone else. They've been doing everything to weaken Kawhi's trade value and force him out of town. It's about time the Spurs redirected some heat at an agency group that thinks it's working in the NFL and holding a player out of training camp is an option.

[spurraider21]

Michael Wright "leaked" this, not the Spurs FO.
who do you think told Wright? kawhi's group?

[BatManu20]

Holy shit just realized Kawhi's Uncle Dennis is using the "DENNIS System" from It's Always Sunny to get Kawhi out of SA :rollin

It sounds like hes held this for a while. And in that clip he said something to the effect of “I probably shouldn’t say this, but kawhi will most likely be traded soon anyways...”

I get airing dirty laundry but it seems smarter to do it after he’s traded imo. Frankly, I’m stunned the Spurs covered it up instead of going to the league and forcing some sort of mediation. Hindsight, I guess, but they might have been able to nip this in the bud before it ballooned into what it is right now.

[LkrFan]

Because they don't care about getting equal value, or really anything at all. They are not going to be played by amateur hour "Impact Sports."

You telling me they don't care what future stars think? If I'm a star, and even though Texas has no state taxes, I'd think twice about going there until Pop retires tbh.

The classy thing to do is to take the high road. Instead PATFO kicking him in the family jewels :lol

[RD2191]

PATFO just needs to move him or shut down the trade talks. All this speculation is annoying as shit. They're not going to get the package that they want so I'm not sure what they're waiting for. The offers are only getting worse by the day with all of these leaks.

[MoSpur02]

Something is probably happening soon since he leaked the info.

He'll show up and his reps will throw a sheet over him so nobody can see him so he "feels more comfortable that way".

This. He destroyed the Spurs chances to be a championship contender for a long time. Might as well dick him over and try to destroy him.

[exstatic]

I wonder if his sister is getting him this info. His sister and mom have always seemed pro-Spursish. I wonder if that's what it's gonna take for him to realize what kind of shit he's in and off Uncle Dennis.

This new NY info tells me one thing: the Spurs are done. There will be no reconciliation. This info could only have come from them. They either have something lined up or they will make him report, and they’ll ride it out, and either force more teams onto his trade list, or get some monetary revenge by keeping him and making him a FA at the end of the year, able to sign for no more than 4/$139M.

Yeah, but leaking this only further damages his value.
They're either not leaking, or going scorched Earth on him.

I think they should just keep his ass put and make him face Pop. At Team USA, at training camp, during the season until he can't take it no mo', or gives in.
Or he can go full bitch and just sit. That will hurt him and his mama's and his uncle's and his Mickey Mouse agency's pocket book.

This wasn’t leaked recently by the Spurs....

It was responsible journalism by Michael C Wright telling the truth..

Thid was just the tip of the ice burg according to crazy stories or demands made from Uncle D..

This was more a a shot at him to an extent towards Kawhi...

Maybe that's it. You keep the goob because you're not trading him for table scraps and nobody can blame you, or why they're only getting offered table scraps.

Then he has to show up and face Pop. Over and Over. Almost every day. Not Uncle Denny. Not Impact.
Kawhi. And he has to look at his teammates in the eyes. Every day.

Either he totally punks out (I look forward to it), or he becomes a good soldier and either enhances his trade value, or he walks, or... gulp, signs that super-max. At this point, and it's a shame, if he just wants to walk, good riddance then. Whatcha gonna do?

The fact he wants to see Kawhi to Lakers so he and Uncle Dennis will have egg on their face. Spurs protect their players from media more than any team...

Ugly. I have a real agent and I think he would kick me to the curb faster than you can say Go before he would allow such a stunt to be pulled with an entity I was contracted with.
Agents have reputations too.

I should ask him if he's paid any attention to this conflagration of events. I bet a good many agents of all professions have paid some amount of attention to this.

[coachmac87]

I think it could be a ploy to get the Uncle out the picture all together...

The FO’s around league aren’t dumb. They highly respect the Spurs across the board..so many connections with other franchises...They know something ain’t right about “The Group”. Integrity and principle I would think holds some weight...

[Budkin]

Fuck the trade offers. Just accept the fact that we're getting nothing for him and make him play out his contract.

[cd98]

Listened to podcast for a bit and sounded like Wright was trying to talk sense into Kawhi. He was highly critical of Kawhi and Unvle Dennis the Menace.

[bdictjames]

What a sucky situation to be in. Kawhi doesn't deserve this, I mean, he does have his family handling his business and I know it's hard to say no to family. But this story better get straight, him play great for a year. Winning cures all ills. Let him win this year in San Antonio and we'll decide until then, maybe we'll just laugh the matter off, to be honest.

[FireMicoHalili]

What’s crazy is Impact Sports has been leaking everything - anything - just to help other teams get Kawhi for scraps but it’s been days and the Spurs haven’t budged. I wonder how many days until their bag of tricks runs out. The media is enjoying spewing information from “sources” all designed to lower his trade value and ease him in to the Lakers since the latter just got neutered by the Cousins signing. I love the fact the Spurs aren’t caving and aren’t helping that pathetic Lakers front office.

Personally fine with whatever the Spurs get for Leonard, he messed up the situation far too badly it’s unprofessional. Whatever the returns are, I hope it’s at least commensurate for the talent the Spurs gave up for him. The Sixers package is preferable, if only to disappoint those disgusting Laker fans who suddenly think they’re relevant after years of hating on LeBron.

I'm sure it has come down to or will come down to either Kawhi gets a new agent/representation (lose the uncle) or no max offer/trading you to whatever team gets us best package

This.

If the Uncle truly wanted what was best..letting go and allowing Kawhi to get 221M would prove that...

Or you can be a bitch and have him lose 80M and play in Memphis and he can walk to the arena :lmao

[FireMicoHalili]

I wonder how many times Woj and Shelburne can permutate and scramble their takes on the entire narrative until they run out of new slants for those loser Laker fans to retweet: “he still wants to go to the Lakers”, “the Clippers are now less appealing to him”, “the Sixers and Celtics don’t want to give up their best players”, before he actually says “Kawhi’s group is desperate to get him out of there but they won’t budge”. I would love for the Spurs to trade Leonard to another team NOT the Lakers or Sixers just to see Impact Sports and these “journalists” get mentally warped and lose credibility. :lol

You know why he is hiding from Spurs staff. Cos he is not injured.

[offset formation]

Pop publicly talked dismissively and disrespectfully to Kiwi. "You have to ask Kiwi and his camp..." or some shit like that was said any time Kiwi came up as a topic from reporters. Any man would be pissed off. I don't know the whole story and don't care, all I know is when Pop had a chance to publicly support his disgruntled star, he chose not to.

Laugh. Out. Fucking. Loud.

Gmafb.

Pop and his team had to answer the same fucking questions night after night after night and were getting nothing in the way of actual guidance from those fools.

At some point, you direct the questions to the people in the know. That is all that took place.

[Down Under]

This sucks. I’m so annoyed at the entire situation. Even if SA keeps Kawhi this was so badly handled.
I reckon they will. They'll never get back what he's worth & the last 6 months since this has been going on would've felt like a lifetime for Kawhi. There's no way he/Dennis will want it to go for another 12 months - more & more people are under the impression he tanked it when healthy. They'll crack eventually.

[weebo]

[Eaglenole2002]

As a former member of the sports media, this definitely sounds like a team prepping their fan base for a trade of their superstar. I don't know if the Spurs needed to pour more gasoline in Kawhi since most seem to already anti-Kawhi, but this will get a few more on their side.

I'm with this.

Was looking for the link to the podcast since I was about to listen to it all and came across this on reddit:


Here's my quick write up from the full podcast for those that don't want to listen to the whole hour and 15 minutes.


At the All Star game in NO a few years ago Kawhi and his group are at a hotel and the Spurs security tells them what time they need to get them out to get them to the game on time. Uncle Dennis says "no we're not doing this, this is when we're going to leave". They decide to leave when Uncle Dennis says and they end up stuck in traffic a block away from the hotel. The police end up letting them through but it would take them an hour and a half to get to the arena. They ended up having Kawhi get out, put a hood over his head, and walk to the Arena from the hotel.




Uncle Dennis thinks the Spurs are too controlling but he doesn't have any experience representing any other players from any other teams.




Spurs gave Kawhi and his camp complete control of his "rehab" starting August 8th. The rehab was controlled by his own doctors although Wright does not know if he really did shop around for a bunch of doctors or not. Spurs had absolutely no say in his rehab process at all which is why Pop would refer reporters to Kawhi's group when asked questions about his status.




Wright thinks the Spurs were too accommodating to Kawhi and his group which is why all of this has happened. Says Kawhi realized he was a star in the league and wanted to be treated as such. In the words of Wright "Spurs gave him an inch and Kawhi took a mile".




If Spurs offer supermax he thinks he would re-sign (because $$$ talks) but at this point the Spurs probably don't trust the people around Leonard enough to offer up that amount of money (would be 30% of their Cap). (This leads me to believe that the rumors about the Spurs not offering the supermax are true.)




The Spurs have told Wright that they want to get Kawhi in a room ALONE. No Dennis, no one else speaking for him. Just Kawhi.




The Spurs would get a call from Uncle Dennis saying "Kawhi wants this and that" but the Spurs would never know if it was really Kawhi's wishes or his Uncles.




The Spurs don't believe that his Uncle has his best interest at heart but know that his Uncle means a lot to him due to the fact that he was there for him after his father was murdered.




Wright did not write the story about Parkers comments because he knew exactly that it would be taken out of context as soon as he said it. He says the reports about Kawhi being betrayed by Tony's comments are excuses coming from his Uncle.




The reason Kawhis teammates were frustrated and called a team meeting was because Kawhi's group kept throwing out return dates which would come and go. Eventually the team got fed up and confronted him about all the pump faking. Manu's comments a week or so before the team meeting seems to confirm that the team knew they were getting hit with the Okie Doke by Kawhi's group.




Kawhi told them he would be back for the game against NO on March 19th which was picture day. Kawhi showed up for pictures but as soon as they started pre game shoot around he left. That night after the game they had the team meeting and two days later Kawhi left for NY and never came back to the team.




Up to the point before the trade request in June Wright talked to multiple people in the organisation who were confident they could get Pop to sit down with Kawhi and iron everything out. The death of Pop's wife complicated things and it took a while for him to get the meeting with Kawhi. Kawhi didn't want to meet with Pop and did everything he would to avoid the meeting. At that point the trade request news came out.




Kawhi's side feels like Spurs are leaking info that makes him look bad. Wright thinks those are excuses and that he just doesn't want to play in San Antonio. He doesn't see a good ending for either side here.




Wright says people think he's exaggerating about Uncle Dennis but some of the things that he requests/demands are unrealistic. According to him some of the stories are hard to believe and he laughs when he thinks about them. (I should note that Jeff McDonald, another Spurs beat writer has compared Uncle Dennis to Lavar Ball).




Kawhi doesn't want to go to the Lakers. His preferred destination is the Clippers but the Clippers have absolutely no assets that the Spurs want. He expects a dark horse team to come in and nab Kawhi in a trade.




He does not see Kawhi handling the LA media scene very well. Says he was well protected from the media in San Antonio and doesn't think he is ready for an environment like that.


TL;DR: Uncle Dennis is literally Lavar Ball

[timaios]

Here is the entire podcast with Michael C. Wright on youtube.

You should take time to listen all of it...
Michael C. Wright explain all the situation since March 2016, when Kawhi missed 3 games for a very deep quad bruise.

Everything becomes clear now.

Anyone want to read Mrs. Uncle Dennis' and Uncle Dennis' book about successfully managing interactions with important business people?

Easy. No need to rush. The offers are shit now, how much worse are they going to get?
Put that man on the court, or show it out to everybody Uncle Lavar.

He doesn't even want to go to the Lakers, you fanboys.

Push this one to the limit. Easy.

Don’t insult LaVar like that, LaVar may be excentric but he has never really acted like Dennis and his group.

Unless a damn good trade comes up, he can either rot, or face Pop on the daily.

Bitch move by Kawhi if true. Although I'm not sure how Kawhi plans on playing for team USA is he wants to avoid Pop at all cost.

[vy65]

I'm really beginning to think that his "team" are total fucking amateurs and truly have no clue what they're doing. From the docs to the trade demand to the negotiations, none of this sounds like the work of someone who knows what they're doing.

Listening to the Haberstroh/Wright podcast, it says something that an ESPN-sanctioned podcast is shitting all over Uncle De. Is. What a terrible look for Kawhi’s Group. I feel bad for the guy - as much as I can feel bad for a superstar athlete

[tonight...you]

Bitch move by Kawhi if true. Although I'm not sure how Kawhi plans on playing for team USA is he wants to avoid Pop at all cost.
I'm telling you Chicken Strips, put that dude on the court as much as possible with Pop, or make clown show shut him down, which means missed paychecks for everybody.
Let the good times roll!

I just don't understand this gratuitous attempt at humiliating an old man who just lost his wife- much less a lifetime mentor..How can this dude be mentally right?

Now picture Kawhi indubitably saying that.

*shiver*

[Joseph Kony]

As much as I would like to have Irving, he is a huge risk. He has injury concerns and he is an expiring, so no guarantee he stays here either. wonder what pick Boston offered

Erving is a free agent next season and is already clear he wants to play for N.Y.

Seriously... I basically keep saying it.
That stuff ain't getting any worse. relax.

This team wants Kawhi to face Pop. And not just once.
On the daily.

This is where the rubber hits the road and uncle Dennis and his Mickey Mouse outfit can feel the burn.
The Spurs have plenty and lots of time. Nobody is rushing this, but outside schmucks.

If Spurs trade Kawhi - they have to get a SF in return - end of story.

Full podcast notes:

— Spurs wanted sit-down early on to air everything out but were afraid to approach Kawhi’s team because they didn’t want to be perceived as trying to rush him back

— Mike Wright tells the late all-star game story and pins it right on Uncle Dennis. Said traffic was so bad they walked from the hotel to the arena.

— Kawhi’s group feels Spurs are too controlling, but Wright and hosts point out that Uncle Dennis has no frame of reference to compare to. Mike Wright concurs with a statement that Uncle Dennis is “clueless”

— Host says this is a lesson in everything not to do in handling a young superstar

— Host asks if this is, at its core, about lack of trust over the misdiagnosis. Mentions Kawhi also sought a 2nd opinion on his wrist injury in 2014 so this may be a long standing issue between player and team. Mike Wright thinks that’s the essence of it, but the major component is Uncle Dennis fanning the flames. Spurs admit they may have fucked up injury diagnosis, but they can’t be sure because they lost control of rehab on Aug 8th. Wright mentions the rumor that Kawhi shopped around for doctors

— Spurs reps were in New York during rehab but had no say or input on rehab at that point

— It’s fair to question what’s going on from Kawhi’s side both from a management perspective and a medical perspective. Spurs were in the dark medically all year.

— There was a point last year when Spurs flew to New York but as soon as they walked in the building, Kawhi’s team “sequestered” him so the Spurs couldn’t see him. Wright said he shouldn’t tell that story but he thinks Kawhi is gone so it doesn’t matter

— What was impetus for Spurs handing over rehab in August? Kawhi felt the rehab exercises were hurting him worse. He went and got multiple opinions, then Spurs handed over rehab

— Spurs could not get a hold of Kawhi when he visited China. Spurs wanted to send team security, but everything changed for them when they couldn’t reach him in China

— Wright says Spurs gave Kawhi an inch by giving up control of rehab, and Kawhi took a mile. Host says of course every team would want to control their franchise player’s rehab. That’s not controlling to want to do that. Wright thinks Spurs were too accommodating in giving up rehab and Kawhi took advantage of them.

— The Spurs still don’t know what they want to do with him. Don’t know if they’ll keep him or when they’ll trade him

— Seems obvious that a path to reconciliation is the Supermax. But is there a guarantee Kawhi and Uncle Dennis won’t pull this again 3 months later? “It’s a band-aid on a gunshot wound.” Wright says too risky to offer a supermax now.

— Co-host says Kawhi’s people really screwed this up. Contrasts him to Lebron in saying that Lebron is not a fool, but Kawhi is being a fool and being played. Ultimately it’s on Kawhi because he has the power to change it

— Wright says the Spurs are going to do what’s best for them regardless. It’s not about what Kawhi wants for them anymore.

— Wright says the Ingram/Kuzma/Hart/Picks package was accurate but he heard Spurs asked for 4 picks and not 2 picks and 2 pick swaps

— Wright said Spurs just want Kawhi alone in a room and can’t get it. Everything is going through Dennis and Spurs aren’t sure what really comes from Kawhi and what’s just Dennis

— All agree it’s just a bad idea to mix family and business

— Host asks if Kawhi is staying off the court because he’s worried teams will be scared off that his level of play has dropped or he’s still injured? Wright said it’s gone off the rails and no one knows. He thinks Kawhi should keep the Uncle on the payroll but just not be represented by him.

— Wright doesn’t think anything gets done anytime soon because the Spurs don’t want to trade him. Both sides in a bad spot

— How much did Pop’s comments contribute to Kawhi’s unhappiness? (Host mistakenly thinks Pop made the “100 times worse” comment). Wright says comments were not meant to be critical of Kawhi. Tony’s ultimate message was “be positive.” Wright was standing there and knew it was going to get exaggerated. Kawhi’s taking offense to that and using that as a reason to want a trade is just an excuse

— Wright says he talked to a high ranking Spurs official 2 days ago and that person did not know the context of the “100 times worse” comment. He knew the quote but had never watched the interview in its entirety for context

— Might be tough to sell vets on Kawhi returning because Kawhi and his team kept giving false dates as to when he’d return. It would be this game, then that game, then that game. Moving target. That’s what led to Ginobili comments. After series with GSW previous year, vets thought the team could be competitive for a ring and Kawhi said “fuck it.” Then Kawhi shows up for picture day, leaves before shootaround, and they basically don’t see him again

— Wright knew it was over when Kawhi requested trade. Before that, team thought they could fix it. Wright wonders if Pop would have been able to focus more on repairing the relationship had he not been dealing with aftermath of wife’s death.

— All Kawhi had to say from the beginning is “I don’t want to play in San Antonio.” Instead it’s a littany of excuses for why he wants out. Spurs went out of their way to protect him. How many media markets can your star player go 2 months without making a comment? Once Spurs couldn’t protect him anymore he started looking bad. Wright doesn’t see a reconciliation

— Co-host suggests team promises to trade Kawhi, but explains to him that he has to restore his value by playing. They’ll update him on trade talks every week. Wright says they may not be able to even get to that conversation. He says all the reports about Uncle Dennis are not exaggerations. He can’t even tell most of the stories of the various wild an unorthodox things Uncle Dennis has requested

— Wright says Kawhi wants the Clippers, but he thinks a dark horse team will wind up with him. Clippers are a mismatch as a trade partner. Wright wants him to go to LA though and experience that media so he knows how good he had it in San Antonio. Skipping interviews is not an option in LA. 10x more reporters focused on him, and wait until “Lonzo’s Daddy” says something about him. Will he think the team betrayed him when they don’t protect him from the media like the Spurs did?

Skipping interviews is not an option in LA. 10x more reporters focused on him, and wait until “Lonzo’s Daddy” says something about him. Will he think the team betrayed him when they don’t protect him from the media like the Spurs did?

Amin Elhassan said the Kyrie + pick in April :lol

When are the Spurs going to offer to buy back Kawhi jerseys / etc. purchased over the past year like the Patriots did with Aaron Hernandez. Thank god I only bought a crappy shirt that I can always turn inside out when doing yard work.

Apparently he had more? he said on twitter he was going to wait for Kawhi to be traded

[FkLA]

There's absolutely no way this faggot has the courage to show his face for Team USA camp. After so many acts of cowardice, how can we possibly expect him to suddenly face a hostile situation like that head on? :lol

[Kori Ellis]

Thanks for the podcast recap. Utter craziness. I feel like Kawhi is mentally or emotionally handicapped, and getting fleeced by his "group." I kind of feel sorry for him. I hope he snaps out if it, ditches his Uncle and Impact, and stays in SA. But that seems impossible, considering he's not even allowed to talk to Pop without his Uncle there.

The only thing holding his family back is the public humiliation (and nobody there, including his ridiculously stupid agent haven't thought of it), otherwise they could bag hundreds of millions.
Trust.

[Mr. Body]

Look at the replies to this tweet.

1. Kyrie will walk after the coming season
2. The reporter doesn’t view Kyrie in a positive light
3. Woj’s report that Celtics’ starting five is untouchable is hokum

If it's true. Boston fans think their team is made out of gold..I think its pretty clear Kyrie is gone when he can, but Ainge is really tight fisted.

Great info from Wright, really gives you the full picture of what's going on.

Interesting that he thinks the turning point was the trade request and that Pop potentially meeting with Kawhi was what spurred it.

Kawhi was literally too scared to meet with Pop so he had his group demand a trade :lol

[SPURt]

Full podcast notes:

— Spurs wanted sit-down early on to air everything out but were afraid to approach Kawhi’s team because they didn’t want to be perceived as trying to rush him back

— Mike Wright tells the late all-star game story and pins it right on Uncle Dennis. Said traffic was so bad they walked from the hotel to the arena.

— Kawhi’s group feels Spurs are too controlling, but Wright and hosts point out that Uncle Dennis has no frame of reference to compare to. Mike Wright concurs with a statement that Uncle Dennis is “clueless”

— Host says this is a lesson in everything not to do in handling a young superstar

— Host asks if this is, at its core, about lack of trust over the misdiagnosis. Mentions Kawhi also sought a 2nd opinion on his wrist injury in 2014 so this may be a long standing issue between player and team. Mike Wright thinks that’s the essence of it, but the major component is Uncle Dennis fanning the flames. Spurs admit they may have fucked up injury diagnosis, but they can’t be sure because they lost control of rehab on Aug 8th. Wright mentions the rumor that Kawhi shopped around for doctors

— Spurs reps were in New York during rehab but had no say or input on rehab at that point

— It’s fair to question what’s going on from Kawhi’s side both from a management perspective and a medical perspective. Spurs were in the dark medically all year.

— There was a point last year when Spurs flew to New York but as soon as they walked in the building, Kawhi’s team “sequestered” him so the Spurs couldn’t see him. Wright said he shouldn’t tell that story but he thinks Kawhi is gone so it doesn’t matter

— What was impetus for Spurs handing over rehab in August? Kawhi felt the rehab exercises were hurting him worse. He went and got multiple opinions, then Spurs handed over rehab

— Spurs could not get a hold of Kawhi when he visited China. Spurs wanted to send team security, but everything changed for them when they couldn’t reach him in China

— Wright says Spurs gave Kawhi an inch by giving up control of rehab, and Kawhi took a mile. Host says of course every team would want to control their franchise player’s rehab. That’s not controlling to want to do that. Wright thinks Spurs were too accommodating in giving up rehab and Kawhi took advantage of them.

— The Spurs still don’t know what they want to do with him. Don’t know if they’ll keep him or when they’ll trade him

— Seems obvious that a path to reconciliation is the Supermax. But is there a guarantee Kawhi and Uncle Dennis won’t pull this again 3 months later? “It’s a band-aid on a gunshot wound.” Wright says too risky to offer a supermax now.

— Co-host says Kawhi’s people really screwed this up. Contrasts him to Lebron in saying that Lebron is not a fool, but Kawhi is being a fool and being played. Ultimately it’s on Kawhi because he has the power to change it

— Wright says the Spurs are going to do what’s best for them regardless. It’s not about what Kawhi wants for them anymore.

— Wright says the Ingram/Kuzma/Hart/Picks package was accurate but he heard Spurs asked for 4 picks and not 2 picks and 2 pick swaps

— Wright said Spurs just want Kawhi alone in a room and can’t get it. Everything is going through Dennis and Spurs aren’t sure what really comes from Kawhi and what’s just Dennis

— All agree it’s just a bad idea to mix family and business

— Host asks if Kawhi is staying off the court because he’s worried teams will be scared off that his level of play has dropped or he’s still injured? Wright said it’s gone off the rails and no one knows. He thinks Kawhi should keep the Uncle on the payroll but just not be represented by him.

— Wright doesn’t think anything gets done anytime soon because the Spurs don’t want to trade him. Both sides in a bad spot

— How much did Pop’s comments contribute to Kawhi’s unhappiness? (Host mistakenly thinks Pop made the “100 times worse” comment). Wright says comments were not meant to be critical of Kawhi. Tony’s ultimate message was “be positive.” Wright was standing there and knew it was going to get exaggerated. Kawhi’s taking offense to that and using that as a reason to want a trade is just an excuse

— Wright says he talked to a high ranking Spurs official 2 days ago and that person did not know the context of the “100 times worse” comment. He knew the quote but had never watched the interview in its entirety for context

— Might be tough to sell vets on Kawhi returning because Kawhi and his team kept giving false dates as to when he’d return. It would be this game, then that game, then that game. Moving target. That’s what led to Ginobili comments. After series with GSW previous year, vets thought the team could be competitive for a ring and Kawhi said “fuck it.” Then Kawhi shows up for picture day, leaves before shootaround, and they basically don’t see him again

— Wright knew it was over when Kawhi requested trade. Before that, team thought they could fix it. Wright wonders if Pop would have been able to focus more on repairing the relationship had he not been dealing with aftermath of wife’s death.

— All Kawhi had to say from the beginning is “I don’t want to play in San Antonio.” Instead it’s a littany of excuses for why he wants out. Spurs went out of their way to protect him. How many media markets can your star player go 2 months without making a comment? Once Spurs couldn’t protect him anymore he started looking bad. Wright doesn’t see a reconciliation

— Co-host suggests team promises to trade Kawhi, but explains to him that he has to restore his value by playing. They’ll update him on trade talks every week. Wright says they may not be able to even get to that conversation. He says all the reports about Uncle Dennis are not exaggerations. He can’t even tell most of the stories of the various wild an unorthodox things Uncle Dennis has requested

— Wright says Kawhi wants the Clippers, but he thinks a dark horse team will wind up with him. Clippers are a mismatch as a trade partner. Wright wants him to go to LA though and experience that media so he knows how good he had it in San Antonio. Skipping interviews is not an option in LA. 10x more reporters focused on him, and wait until “Lonzo’s Daddy” says something about him. Will he think the team betrayed him when they don’t protect him from the media like the Spurs did?

It's pretty straight forward, no?

-Spurs security advised what time he should leave to assure he doesn't get stuck in traffic
-Uncle Dennis was like fuck nah y'all being controlling, we leave when I say we leave
-Spurs security say ok
-Kawhi leaves when Dennis the Menace tells him to
-Hotel is only 3 blocks from Arena but they're stuck for 3+ hours
-Eventually they return to hotel, park the car there and have to walk to Arena with Kawhi hiding himself with his hoodie

Nice to see the truth coming out p. It was inevitable and it’s going to get even worse for Kawhi and his group. ESPN can eat it.

If Kawhi and his camp can't handle the heat they are catching now no way in hell he is gonna survive a very unforgiving large market. Especially if he is dead set on LA. They will eat him alive. That whole not speaking to fans or media isn't going to fly. He is in for a rude awakening.

When players are at the All Star game, the team gives them an agenda, like photos are at this time, media session at that time. So apparently they told Kawhi what time to leave his hotel to get to the game on time. His Uncle thought that the Spurs were being too controlling and telling him to leave too early. So they left too late, got stuck in traffic, and Kawhi had to get out and walk to the arena to make it on time.


The traffic around All Star weekend is crazy...I have been to four of them. The Spurs weren't being controlling, they were trying to make sure he made it to the game.

I don't know why OKC doesn't buy him out this year. Pay him 25 million or however much his contract is for to save 90+ million in tax

SAS has been reporting for months that Uncle Dennis has been a pain in the Spurs' ass.

[acoelho1]

This explains the players and organization frustration. They have really put the Spurs in a tough spot. I still say wait it out and get Pop & Kawhi alone during training camp to see if Pop can work his magic. If not, teams will have an opportunity to evaluate his health during preseason and hopefully he’s back to his old dominate self and Philly would be more willing to give us a good package.
