[DPG21920]

With a guarantee that he resigns long-term? It would be a tough decision but I'm a gambler and would probably roll the dice.

My reservations would lie with Kawhi's physical and mental well-being though (as stated before). If we're talking pre-injury/drama Kawhi, it's a no-brainer. Do the deal.

He would re-sign. He already said that and told SA that.

Even with “injury” concerns we know that are BS, you would pair Jordan/Pippen (Lebron/Kawhi). Theres no young talent that is truly worth holding that up.

It’s dumb. LA is playing the leverage game vs just doing a damn deal they know is great so they can “extract value”. Cool. You can also lose Kawhi and piss him off by not trading for him. Really worth Kuzma to do that?

One thing for sure Kawhi and the faggots surrounding him like Jabari have overplayed their hands pretty badly..Dude's reputation has gone the Dwight post-Magic way..

Hell, it is even more in toilet now than Dwert's at any point..

[rasuo214]

So I'm assuming the Spurs are keeping him? Because this definitely won't help the trade offers.

[DeadlyDynasty]

He would re-sign. He already said that and told SA that.

Even with “injury” concerns we know that are BS, you would pair Jordan/Pippen (Lebron/Kawhi). Theres no young talent that is truly worth holding that up.

It’s dumb. LA is playing the leverage game vs just doing a damn deal they know is great so they can “extract value”. Cool. You can also lose Kawhi and piss him off by not trading for him. Really worth Kuzma to do that?
If the offer was the hypothetical one you previously mentioned, I might be inclined to agree with you, but the current offer is asinine and it would be absolutely mental to give up all those assets for a player with questionable health and an even more questionable desire for the game. Either he is legitimately injured, which is a concern...or he's a lying headcase. If you were a GM you'd give up every conceivable asset for that? It's smarter to let it play out, see if he's mentally/physically right, then try to grab him for free. Of course it's no guarantee he signs here in 2019, but I like that gamble over the former.

Plus, let's not forget that all our young guys (Ingram, Ball, Kuzma, Hart) have a high probability of increasing their own value after another year of improvement.

[rasuo214]

I don’t think so, but it matches other reporting during the year.

1015025862083796995

I doubt Pop would let Kawhi determine when he was going to play without some practice reps with the team.

[Mugen]

Somebody needs to break Jabari today, anybody with a twitter, go at that clown hard :lol

[ceperez]

Quit hating for once. Leonard is damaged goods & a cancer, Ingram is a star in the making. Aside from Tatum, there is not a better young prospect the Spurs could hope for.

As the season moves on, a deal is going to get done. Lakers have the risk that Leonard and Spurs do make up.

Everyone in the league knows that Leonard is being handled very poorly by his family and will have to deal with this family if ever he's signed.

[acoelho1]

Jabari starting to break :lol

1015251001522049024

I think Jabari doesn't realize he's a reporter, which requires some sort of ethics. He was lambasting the Spurs that they are too rigid and Spurs comments led to Kawhi asking for a trade. Now, having more context to the situation, it seems pretty clear that uncle Dennis orchestrated this saga to push Kawhi out of San Antonio. He knew eventually the Spurs would respond to their unprofessional behavior and then tried to use the media to push their narrative. So Jabari's response to all this is to deflect instead of reporting the truth. He is such a tool.

[LkrFan]

I can see that logic; perfectly understandable but everyone knows Kawhi isn’t injured. There is a reason Magic and Co have gone to great lengths to tamper for him :lol

But still, even if you believe that, even though you know Dame is healthy, you also know his ceiling and he’s worse than Kyrie and is that enough? Kawhi’s upside is still so much higher than Dames that IMO he’s one of the only true stars outside of Harden, AD, KD and Curry (which aren’t currently available) that can truly help LA win.

No arguments here. I surely wouldn't want to be RC right about now :lol

[loveforthegame]

I doubt Leonard attends USA camp. He won’t face the media until he’s re-signed, traded, or training camp.

Many of you salivating at Leonard having to face the media in SA but I feel sorry for the circus it creates for the other guys. They’ll be hounded again everyday. That has to to suck after going through it last season. Can you imagine the daily peppering questions they’ll get? Was he engaged in practice? Was he there the entire time? Did he participate in film sessions? Was he hostile to any of the players and coaches? Anything happen in the lockerrom? Has he attended all the team meetings? Things looked chippy between him and said player in the timeout. What did Leonard do? Is he engaged or just going through the motions?

SA might want to stick it to Leonard and company but hard to believe they’d put the team through that again.

As much as I would love to see him go, his MO is now to skip out of things. At the very least, going to the team USA camp would prove he's health physically ...

My friend, Kawhi Leonard is the ULTIMATE value for those young guys. Nothing they could do could improve their value enough to get more than Kawhi. Nothing. That is peak value without even having to prove they are worth it.

[loveforthegame]

I wonder if Team USA would ask Leonard not to attend? They might not want the ugly attention this could bring.

[Mr. Body]

There are hints of money getting passed around and I wouldn't be surprised if it comes from LA. Jabari is on the take. Uncle is definitely on the take. The bizarre Trumper 'agent' definitely has his hand out. Not sure if Jabari's gotten paid, but he was promised some things.

[Dre_7]

I follow him, not going to get into it with him but I have been watching his tweets. He has been responding to a lot in the past hour. With all of them he is saying basically the same thing: How will this change anything?! I am going to focus on the young players! This doesn't change anything! blah blah blah. :lol

[SpursDynasty85]

I doubt Pop would let Kawhi determine when he was going to play without some practice reps with the team.

Nah. Spurs thought he should be playing. Pop was ready to at least ease him into minutes right away setting up for a playoff push. Spurs might've not seen all the workouts or evaluations but did at least see some. They felt he needed to play. He had not already played all year from an "ailment" he has played with for over a year and a half, including his MVP year.

[SpursDynasty85]

Nah. I think it would entertaining for them. So much detail and insight in that podcast. You should listen to everything if you havent yet. Spurs shielded the media from Leonard every time. This year I'm sure they let anyone and everyone ask him questions and let him answer. He will hopefully break and healing can finally start to begin.

[SpursBig3s]

Eric Gordon, N.O.


I don't remember at all what happened with EG and Nola, can u elaborate?

[picnroll]

Spurs are going to put Leonard in the best possible light and situation. Trade or resign it’s their best interest. Nobody will be taking care of Leonard as well as Pop, certainly not uncle Festus or the Laker’s media circus.

[cjw]

This is the kind of hypocritical idiocy from your fanbase that is so damn annoying. When Kobe was ready to walk the lakers flat out told him we'll trade you to the Bulls but we're going to take everybody that makes them a great team. (Paraphrasing) It has nothing to do with pride, if your solid dime gf about to walk out on you, you don't go bang a 5 just cause it's being offered.

What’s worse than letting a top 5 guy walk? Paying one more money than anyone in the league like the Lakers did in November 2013 coming off of an All NBA season after he had turned 35. Oh, and after he ruptured his Achilles. Like WTF?

Now an All NBA guy coming off a torn Achilles can only get the MLE.

All for the career leader in missed FG whose career eFG% falls just below Rondo, Lou Williams & Melo and just above Jeff Green & Avery Johnson. And the guy who chased Shaq out of town.

tl;dr = better to let someone walk than have a guy clogging your cap if he’s never going to be healthy.

[rasuo214]

Nah. Spurs thought he should be playing. Pop was ready to at least ease him into minutes right away setting up for a playoff push. Spurs might've not seen all the workouts or evaluations but did at least see some. They felt he needed to play. He had not already played all year from an "ailment" he has played with for over a year and a half, including his MVP year.

Even if he was cleared to play Pop said repeatedly he needed to get reps and gave a deadline (forgot when) for when he could return otherwise it wouldn't be realistic. I just have a tough time believing that Pop/Spurs would be ok with him just showing up whenever to play that day.

[cjw]

Let me ask you this and I know you will answer honestly:

Do you really think Kawhi, especially knowing he will re-sign with the Lakers and getting him a full year early, isn’t worth Ingram/Kuz/Ball + draft picks that will be in the late 20s?

To get a third star, they’ll have to part with them in one way or another to clear the cap space for FA anyway! Unless they need one to package with Luol Deng’s dung-like contract

[cd98]

I'm starting to believe the Jabari wanting to be KL's Windhorst thing now... :lol

Do you think Jabari is jealous of Wright? Wright has the ESPN gig. Jabari is stuck with Express News.

[buttsR4rebounding]

Never happen. Pop is Team USA. Pop wants to be able to interact with Kawhi. Over the course of 3 weeks I guarantee you he would be able to orchestrate a 1-on-1 meeting with Kawhi. I think it is much more likely that Kawhi opts out.

[MoSpur02]

Not sure LeBron and Kawhi fit good together, which is why I want them to play together. They both need the ball in their hands to be effective. LeBron needs a PG who can create shots for others and for himself. He needs three point shooters on the outside who can catch and shoot.

This is why I think Kawhi all of a sudden wants to go to the Clippers.

[Mugen]

Easily, even Wright mentions McDonald as one of his guys and no mention of Jabroni :lol

Nice take.

[Gino20]

I think Pop would want Kawhi with Team USA. As others have said, it may give Pop an opportunity to sit down with Kawhi one-on-one. Pop will have the authority to not allow Kawhi's "group" around the team during practices, film sessions, etc. I also think that this will give Pop one final chances to see if he could repair Kawhi's relationship with the Spurs organization. If anything, Kawhi will reject the idea of playing with Team USA. However, that will also look bad on his part based on the rumors of him being healthy and not playing basketball for nearly a year. In addition, it may give a bad image for not wanting to represent your country. In the end, him being there and showing he is healthy provides more leverage for the Spurs if they were to trade him.

In the end, I wouldn't anticipate a trade until sometime in August. This will give time for Pop to meet with Kawhi (if he attends the USA camp) and maybe settle their differences and see what happens with the Super Max since that can't be offered until July 16th, I think.

The Beads going in raw on Kawhi. Basically speaking all of our minds tbh. Good on her.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Melo wound up in LA with Lebron.

[Das Texan]

This could be fun from here on out. The Spurs are screwed as far as winning is concerned, but they can fuck with Kawhi as much as possible now. To get his $20 million, he has to show up, but this time without the usual Spurs cocoon. Let him face a San Antonio media day after day no longer docile and deferential, but aching for a feeding frenzy to rip him apart.

I don’t think his derp ass can handle the hostility from teammates, the media, and fans. He’ll have an autistic panic attack and ghost the team again. Then after 30 days, boom! His NBA career is effectively over, unless and until he and Unca Dennis come begging on hands and knees.

are new media members being hired locally or something?

Hopefully. Carmelo has looked done for a couple years. His game did not age graciously at all.

[BatManu20]

But he doesn’t fit...unless he wants to come off the bench.

Obviously he’d have to accept that. At this point In his career, if he’s still too hard-headed to accept coming off the bench, thrn tell him to fuck off and enjoy playing for a lottery-bound team

I tweeted him weeks ago, you've been going into detail about what the Spurs are doing wrong and then making a general comment about how both sides could've handled things differently to come off as neutral...so I asked him go into that same level of detail for what Kawhitter has done wrong and then he went silent.

Cowherd must get paid by the Lakers PR department. Earlier this week he and some Tweedledum were talking and said that the Spurs were arrogant because they had not traded Kawhi yet. Arrogant? How about the damn Lakers feeling that they are entitled to top team no matter how poorly they are managed?

[BatManu20]

Damien Woody is a fucking moron :lol. Listening to this mouthbreather talk on First Take right now about Kawhi and how players (in this circumstance, Kawhi’s teammates) should stay out of others player’s affairs bc it’s none of their business. Says the Spurs players should never have questioned Kawhi disappearing for weeks because he’s a grown man who should be able to do whatever he wants. He owes them nothing, etc. Regardless of how much money he was being paid by his employer. This fat fuck might be more retarded than Kawhi tbh

Cowherd’s schtick always has been that sports are more interesting when glamorous, big-market teams are winning. He has no interest in Cinderellas or teams that “win the right way,” because he’s in the media and it’s not his job to care.

Also, saying reasonable, measured, fair things about sports is not a path to a career as a talk show host, unless you’re planning to be a Mike Golic foil to a loudmouth co-host. Confidently spouting controversial nonsense with a veneer of reason is the way to get attention and ratings.

Damien Woody is a fucking moron :lol. Listening to this mouthbreather talk on First Take right now about Kawhi and how players (in this circumstance, Kawhi’s teammates) should stay out of others player’s affairs bc it’s none of their business. Says the Spurs players should never have questioned Kawhi disappearing for weeks because he’s a grown man who should be able to do whatever he wants. He owes them nothing, etc. Regardless of how much money he was being paid by his employer. This fat fuck might be more retarded than Kawhi tbh

Woody is probably a couple of years away from being fed through a straw so I wouldn't feel too bad for him. I'm surprised he has that much brain function left to put coherent sentences together tbh.

[spurs1990]

Wait what. So he was legitimately injured, but hiding from the Spurs was a 'power move' to show them they don't have all the control, and to express his desire to move to another team.

But he was legit injured...I mean hurt.

JFC how can any long time Spurs fan possibly want to continue having this Leonard guy on your team??

Which is exactly what his camp wants so he can get traded to LA without them having to give up anything in return for him. Spurs need to do what is best for the team, even if it means having Kawhi on the roster for as long as it takes to make sure the Spurs don't get fucked in a trade.

Sorry I meant to say what Spurs fan would consider re-signing Leonard knowing everything that's come to light this week.

I cannot possibly believe the Spurs' brass has any intention to keep him any longer than they need to.
I'm all for making Leonard's team as uncomfortable as it can get though. Bunk the high road.

The Michael Wright podcast is the biggest stash of evidence on what really happened this past year.
I firmly believe the Spurs gave him and confirmed most of that intel.... he sounded very credible especially compared to the Leonard lackeys Jab Young and Chris Carter.

He's gonna be traded. Unless by some miracle Kawhi changed his mind, which given all this craziness wouldn't surprise me. The Spurs want/wanted to keep him and try to make it work, but he doesn't wanna play for the Spurs.

The Spurs WILL trade him.

I heard him on the Will Cain show earlier this week. He's an avowed lifelong Lakers fan because his dad was a laker fan.

It's probably not Kawhi.. it's his group.

You don't want to trade him with bad offers either. Don't think Kawhi is getting the max at this point. He needs to build up his reputation again. He's a max player but with everything alongside him.. not worth it imo.

[ginobilized]

Wow! This sounds like Kawhi and his uncle are reacting like teenagers rebelling against their parents rules.
The parents in this case are paying you around $20 million dollars to play basketball within a team framework and a true organization.

Good luck and good riddance!

I imagine that he will be pretty shredded by SAS and Skip Bayless before the day is through.

Except it wasn't Kawhi doing those things, it was his uncle. Which is why Pop wanted to try and salvage it because he is a top 5 NBA player, but he never got the chance to with his wife passing during the post season and not being able to meet with Kawhi before his camp leaked his desire to be traded.

Funny thing is, if they kept quiet, they probably get their guy out of San Antonio or, at the very least, make him 221 million dollars richer. But all this leaking screwed it up. Yeah it hurt the Spurs, but it is hurting their "client" even more. His rep is trash right now. And that isn't the Spurs fault.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

What do you think the media is lying about?

Let me try to answer for the asswipers.

Everything that's bad about Kawhi and his group is definitely wrong. Everything that's bad about PATFO is definitely true.

[BatManu20]

His most recent hot take a moment ago is that OKC is making a big mistake letting go of Melo. It’s the “wrong move.” Yea because taking that $100M cap hit to keep a washed up, declining cancer like Melo on your roster is the right thing to do. Christ this guy is a fucking moron :lol

[daslicer]

I still dont hate Kawhi. Who knows what this guy is going through and just how much family and people are coercing him. Eventually he has to face Pop one on one.

That's what uncle Dennis fears. He wants the Spurs to trade Kawhi before training camp because if the Spurs hold on to Kawhi it's inevitable that Pop will finally get his one on one with Kawhi.

Don't be stupid. What this shows it that Pop thinks he can get through to Kawhi. If he can chop him out of the bad influences, he's still the same Kawhi. Most of this shit is because he's possibly autistic or has other mental hazards that have been taken advantage of by unscrupulous relatives and others.

[SpursDynasty85]

That's what uncle Dennis fears. He wants the Spurs to trade Kawhi before training camp because if the Spurs hold on to Kawhi it's inevitable that Pop will finally get his one on one with Kawhi.

It is likely he gets traded before training camp however team USA practices makes it a great time to talk to him since uncle Dennis can't tag along. We will see if uncle Dennis makes Kawhi sit out the team USA practice, so much damage to Kawhi's career and reputation.

[SpursDynasty85]

All.bs storylines for uncle Dennis and his agent to sabotage their way to LA. Kawhi looks like he is down with the hard work it takes to be great. All of this flies in the face of what we've seen from Kawhi. Now that he fired his agent he wants to try to play "Lebron". Laughable.

I actually don't think they will trade him before training camp. They are going to have to play him some games just to showcase his value. He has a terrible reputation but a lot of NBA teams would be willing to take a risk on him if shows he can still play at an MVP level. I still remember teams being interested in Artest after the Malice in the Palace brawl.

[Ocotillo]

Well this just sucks, no matter what is true at a minimum, the Spurs are going to be hurt by this. PATFO needs to do whats best for the organization. While it might be somewhat satisfying to screw Leonard over, you don't do it at the expense of hurting the team further. (On the other hand, if he gets screwed and you are able to help the team, by all means, go for it).

The way I see it, you go into the season expecting him to show up for training camp and play out the last year of his contract. Evidently, the trades that have been discussed are not as beneficial to the team as the added cap space following this season if he walks away after camp is over. It sucks to lose Top 5/10 talent for nothing but since cap space is in play, nothing can be better than inferior contracts/talent. You can at least try to sign who you want with cap space instead of taking someone else's lousy contract or overrated potential.

You have to be prepared for what may happen when training camp opens. If he shows up and plays, great. If he holds out, sue. If he claims he is hurt again, involve the NBA and have an independent doctor verify if he is injured or not.

If he plays and excels, his trade value will increase compared to what it is now. If he does not play. Let him walk away and be someone else's problem. If the relationship is salvaged, then talks can begin about a new contract. Don't get me wrong, I think this is unlikely and the only way the relationship can be salvaged from point of view is he takes on new representation. Jabari and others seem to lead you to believe that won't happen and that is probably correct.

Now, I don't have access to as much information as the Spurs do but I am with SAGirl on this, mind games and Uncle Dennis aside, he has shown a frequency of having nagging injuries that would preclude me from wanting to offer him a supermax. If this past season has all been a scam (holdout) and there was no injury, I still have concerns about his injury history preceding this past season. He is no Iron Man even if he has not been as fragile as Tiago was.

As a shlep who will post on a message board once in a while, I may want to screw him over, screw the Lakers over or ruin Uncle Dennis but I don't have big bucks invested in the Spurs organization and am writing checks because of the decisions that are being made. At the end of the day, PATFO has to do what is best for the organization in the long haul with what is a bad situation

I think that is the long game and holding out for true value that helps the team even if the February trade deadline comes and goes with no trades and he signs with the Lakers or Clippers or Real Madrid or whoever Uncle Dennis wants him to.

Worse case scenario, we have cap space at the end of the year. Feel bad for the teammates that have to deal with this next year while this is being sorted out.

[cd98]

Just listened to the Chris Carter clip. That was the most horrible flop job of a defense of Kawhi I have ever heard.

If the Spurs are paying him $20 million and he's sitting with an injury, does he not think San Antonio has a right to watch him workout? And if Kawhi is using his hiding as a "power move" to some how show San Antonio they aren't in control of the situation, it was really a coward move. One thing I do agree about that clip is that Kawhi has lost all the good will that he earned up to this point in his career. He now has to be looked at as unreliable.

That is a valid point. When mike Wright and michelle beadle finally let loose it was like spurs gave the go ahead and finally their side of the story is leaking out. If they dont trade him and Kawhi does not repair his reputation on and off the court next year his whole career could be put in jeopardy.

I feel the Lakers are implicit in all these rumors. They leak out to ESPN who they are interested in and then ESPN complies by pushing the rumor. Both sides benefit from it. Obviously with the media they want the Lakers to be great so they put a lot of pressure on teams to trade their stars to LA. This is the reason why the media is starting to get frustrated with the Spurs because the Spurs refuse to comply with their demands. The media has succeeded in the past pushing teams to trade their assets to the Lakers. It worked with the Magic in 2012 with Dwight and the Grizzlies in '08 with Gasol. Some teams will stand up to the media scrutiny and some will give in.

KL and TP end up on the same team again :lol

[baseline bum]

I see after the anger stage you too have reached the acceptance stage :lol

I accepted he was holding out months ago and accepted that last game in January was the last time we'd see him in a Spurs uniform then too, but no way I'm not mad as fuck at Mute Cancer and that faggot Dennis. :lol

Just make that piece of shit retire for a year and get no income since the Spurs aren't going to get anything worthwhile in trade.

[MoSpur02]

Did I miss something? Brown isn't available and Boston doesn't want Kawhi.

Spurs looking to add Brown. If that doesn't work they will move on. Toronto is a possible trading partner. I'm assuming DeRozan.

[Payote75]

I guess Chris carter feels the Vikings should not have been looking/checking in on him while he was snorting line after line of cocaine and he probably believes they should of kept paying him while he did it so I see his point of view an employer has no right to check in on his or her employees/investment what are we thinking ......Let's be fair this is totally within his rights it's not theft of service or maybe breach of contract or even possibly collusion.....what a joke and if you look at the clip his face is so telling that he knows so much more that could destroy kiwi and that bullshit camp.

Oh, unless a trade that fits their fancy happens (won't happen), I firmly believe Pop is perfectly willing to play this to the hilt.
Kawhi's uncle better start thinking about letting his zombie show up and be subjected to Pop on the daily without him, or do they all lose their paychecks?
How many other clients do they have? None? huh...

[BlackSilver]

Just listened to the Chris Carter clip. That was the most horrible flop job of a defense of Kawhi I have ever heard.

If the Spurs are paying him $20 million and he's sitting with an injury, does he not think San Antonio has a right to watch him workout? And if Kawhi is using his hiding as a "power move" to some how show San Antonio they aren't in control of the situation, it was really a coward move. One thing I do agree about that clip is that Kawhi has lost all the good will that he earned up to this point in his career. He now has to be looked at as unreliable.

No kidding. Good thing they aren't in a courtroom. A two bit, first year law student would have their story in tatters in 10 minutes.

Derozen sucks man. Ok in the reg season but fades in the post season. Wayyy overrated.

Agreed, but Spurs may look there

This Jabari article from April is a comical read in retrospect: https://www.expressnews.com/spurs-nation/article/Playing-for-Pop-12798828.php


“You have to have a thick skin, that’s for sure,” Elliott said. “You have to park your ego, and you have to realize that you can’t take things personally. That’s the biggest thing.

Guard Patty Mills said: “There are people that can handle it, and there are people that can’t. But the end goal of why he does what he does is for the better of the team. It is for the individual. The end goal is a championship.”




Players with experience admitted there is a certain level of maturity and awareness that is needed to play for Popovich.

:rollin

[SpursDynasty85]

On that podcast you could tell Mike Wright knew something about the trade and relationship. It seems Kawhi could possibly be nearing terms of a trade where he is finally meeting with a more expanded version of teams such as PhillY, Boston, and Clippers. Highest bid before team USA or training camp gets Kawhi.

[BlackSilver]

Another nugget from this 2014 J story: https://www.expressnews.com/sports/spurs/article/Spurs-Leonard-through-his-family-s-eyes-5769977.php



Accolades aside, Leonard's goal remains — he wants to be great. He wants nothing to do with anything that will distract him from the goal. He's even declined money from endorsers willing to pay for his time.
“If (endorsers) want me to get out of the gym, it will have to be a lot of money,” he said.


Asked if he's been offered a good deal to sacrifice the gym, Leonard said, “Nah. Not as much as I want for me to not shoot the basketball that day. (Playing basketball) is what's giving me my money now.”



With the whole nonsense about the Spurs being too controlling about endorsements, kinda begs the question of what product Uncle Dennis wanted Kawhi to endorse that the Spurs said GTFO.

He couldn't get out the gym last season, guess his actual contract wasn't enough.

This is when Spurs fans need to turn into asshole fans like those in the northeast. That motherfucker held out on a playoff team when he could play. Fuck this autistic shit, this idea he's a babe in the woods and is being manipulated by his family. He knew what he was doing.

I guarantee that Kawhi, the man, didn't give one shiv about anyone's comments.
It's his beyond stupid ass handlers.

I wouldn't be surprised if one of Kawhi's mouthpiece is going to come out and say something about Kawhi changing his mind about playing for the Spurs next season. Doubt it, but wouldn't be surprised.

[gambit1990]

the reporter never asked tony to compare injuries. the question that was asked didn't even have the word "injury" in it.

[tonight...you]

He definitely won't be overshadowed there...
I think.

Better call Dennis...

Agree. Especially given the reports that said his pain wouldn't show up immediately after a game, but the next day or whatever. That's a seriously shape shifting injury.

Lol at anyone who actually believed Kawhi wanted to be traded because of one simple comment by Tony (when he was asked the question to begin with). AND when the timeline shows that Kawhi wanted out long before that was made.

Kawhi wants out because Kawhi wants out. He's demanding a trade to ONE city only because he wants to be in LA, not because of Tony's comment. Get real.

[Ice009]

You know, the thing that bothers me the most is, if he was healthy and could have played in round one, why didn't he? Doesn't he have any pride or fire and determination to try and pay back the team that injured him the year before? I would have liked to have seen killer instinct from him (something Jordan or Kobe wouldn't have passed up if they were injured prior, but were then well enough to play), especially when the Warriors were without an injured Curry. The playing field would have been somewhat leveled (the Warriors still would have had the talent advantage) and the Spurs could have had a chance to eliminate them before they got Curry back and won the Championship.

[BlackSilver]

Uncle: Jabari! You said this strategy would work!
Jab: What! Does! It! Matter!? You wanted him out of here. You're gonna get it. Me on the other hand...

He wanted to be healthy for his new team. Plain and simple.

Exactly. It just wouldn't surprise me if his camp says something about Tony leaving and that might be the first step to maybe repairing the relationship with the Spurs. That's how dumb they are. The fact is Kawhi for some weird reason (uncle) wants out of San Antonio. The Spurs (Pop) has tried to get him to stay. The Spurs have done their part in trying to repair the relationship, but the other person in the relationship is gone already.

Its time to move on. From what I have heard its Boston who the Spurs are trying to get a deal done with.

Spurs still have to sign Kyle Anderson. Hopefully they don't overpay. And with so many young Guards on the roster, I really hope they trade Patty as part of the Kawhi deal. Doubt it will happen, because Patty is Pop's guy and I don't think he wants to say bye to Tony, Manu, and Patty all in one offseason, for the sake of the team, offloading his deal and creating cap space for next Summer would easily be the right move.

[lmbebo]

Hard to believe that Kawhi has shot past Dennis Rodman, Ron Artest, Stephen Jackson, and DeAndre Jordan straight into Isaiah Thomas territory in terms of image problems.

Two years ago, yeah.
Then he went full-on Walking Dead with his handlers.

Time for Pop to pull the Squeeze. Old boy needs to play some games and prove he's still a somebody (and face Pop on the daily) before anything happens now.
Good luck Uncle Zombie Master.

Forbes? Ummm... no. Derrick White is already better, as an entire player.
