Kawhi Conspiracy Theories.

[alpha_HaZE]

With all the craziness that has been going on regarding Kawhi, let's post our conspiracy theories.

1. Kawhi injury misdiagnosis was really PEDs gone wrong!

What evidence do we have to support that? Not much, other his physical transformation since he entered the NBA. To tell the truth Kawhi has gotten bigger and bigger every summer. He was even more swollen this season, and that somehow might have backfired on his body. Spurs were upset thinking he went too far, Kawhi blames the spurs for it and we are where we are today.


2. Lebron is coming to the Spurs (D Russel told us so) but Kawhi has heard all the horror stories from his Uncle, who is close to Kyrie's uncle, and want none of it.

I hope that's the real reason he wants out, and if that's the case. I would drive him to the airport myself.


3. Kawhi realizes that Pop, Manu, Tony are retiring, the Holts are getting a divorce, and in general, the Spurs have no hope of competing with the rest of the league.

Is that possible, well yes, that is the most likely scenario in my mind. Pop will be 70 this season and won't be around for much longer. Plus, other coaches are surpassing him and other teams have better front offices. We don't have any young assets and we are locked up with Pau's and Patty's contracts for the next few years.

[K...]

He heard mj stayed out two seasons and said, that's what it takes to be the greatest

Did the Spurs offer the supermax? If not, would he sign for the supermax or not? Is he really offended, but it all goes away with the Supermax?

I highly doubt the Spurs offered the supermax.

What if this is Uncle Dennis’s way of forcing the Spurs to get rid of all the dead weight on the team? Before Kawhi re-signs? *dun dun duuun* lol

That would be awesome! Tony, Manu, and Pau all gone replaced with younger and more athletic players :)!

Quad tendon injuries,tendonitis and tendinopathy as a general term, are commonly associated with body building, not contact sports.

AFAIK, they can't actually offer him the supermax until 1 July.

[Marcus Bryant]

Conspiracy theory: he got rid of his agent who knew what they were doing and is letting his inexperienced relative represent him and attempt to negotiate a nine figure contract on his behalf.

What's funny is that his previous agent was pretty Busch League as it was but out of the woodworks Uncle Denny popped up and said "here hold my beer".

Magic has been sweet talking his family who are rooted in SoCal, for bigger endorsements and probability of LeBron/Kawhi/PG. They’ll bring back Jackson to coach and maybe Kobe to get out from retirement.

[sasaint]

I highly doubt the Spurs offered the supermax.

Not THIS offseason, especially.

Legalistic. They certainly let him know what kind of money would be on the table when they met.

[Spurs4#5]

This has all been a conspiracy to take the heat off of Lebron leaving Cleveland.

More or less, with ESPN cheerleading all the way.

:lol You LeBron haters are crazy. Yeah, I'm sure Kawhi would agree to sit out an entire year, cost himself the supermax, and ruin his reputation just to somehow prevent LeBron from being criticized. Never mind the fact that LeBron will still be criticized no matter what, like he always has been throughout his entire career.

Not a Lebron hater. It’s a thread for conspiracy theories meaning it’s basically bulls... Lebron has always been way over critiqued for every move he makes

[MultiTroll]

He met two super nice Chinese chicks when he was over there.

He will be with them and playing on a one billion dollar Chinese player / shoe / endorsement deal.

My conspiracy theory is this:
LBJ realizes his current situation in Cleveland after last year's finals, and recognizes that Kiwi is the best possible component to merge with himself, is Kiwi. He back channels himself into Uncle Dennis' ear. That plus how the IT situation turned out might be enough circumstantial evidence to get Kiwi to do what he wants (sit out the season). Heck if you want to go really Machiavelli on this he could have insured the IT situation went badly in Cleveland, to make it more of a cautionary tale to make sure Kiwi sat out. LBJ also realizes that this type of behavior would not fly with Pop. Also were Kiwi to play this past season the Spurs might either topple the Dubs or come close enough to make this plan impossible. It is funny how whenever things seemed better on the reconciliation front between Kiwi and the Spurs, some anonymous source would toss a turd into the punch bowl. LBJ wants to dispatch the Dubs and see's doing so as his ticket up the next rung on the ladder of the immortals however his ego won't let him submit to Pop's control because then he (Lebron) wouldn't get all the credit.

LBJ has enough media control and Kiwi is isolated enough for this to be pulled off. That is the only way walking away from the Supermax could be plausible, if one or both of the people in your circle of trust, Uncle Dennis and the agent are in on the plan. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if Nike's billion dollar agent couldn't convince them to get Jordan brand to low ball the sneaker offer and then have a much bigger deal say 12 million a year for 4 years on the table once Kiwi lands on a bigger market team like say the Lakers. Why would Nike do that? Well even if Kiwi is never a big shoe pull, putting LBJ who now you are permanently tied to on a championship team in LA is more than worth the paltry peanuts they would be giving Kiwi to get him back on top of the NBA.

Whatever, Kawhi got upset when they didn’t trade Aldridge. To make matters worse, they re-signed him. This was supposed to be his franchise, he and Aldridge don’t mix. If he stays he is in mediocrity for the rest of his career. Just a shame that he has handled this so poorly. Kick rocks Kawhi, system player

you are entitled to your opinion but if Kiwi wanted LMA gone, he could easily say him or me. It is not like LMA was a member of the big 3 with multiple rings with the franchise. Kiwi wants to go to LA because that is where Uncle Dennis wants him.

[JFK]

I think there might be some truth to Kawhi not liking where things went with LaMarcus Aldridge. What I mean there is the tantrum on aisle 9 that LaMarcus threw and then pop seemingly being careful with thim and not really yelling at his ass like he would other Spurs.

Another thing that maybe Kawhi didn't really like playing for Pop.

The most likely thing is none of this and more likely that cocksucker Magic wants to build in L.A. and this guy is a California guy and then Uncle Dennis is the biggest piece of shit rat bastard in all of Sports.

[MultiTroll]

In a stunning move, it is revealed that both Popped and Kawhi have been on the same team all along.
They want to bolt to form a superteam, with Pop insisting Matty Bonner be part along with Shaun Bradley coming out of retirement.

[look_at_g_shred]

They want to let LeBron know that the spurs can have drama too.

[pad300]

Pop demonstrates he learned something about hardball while working for the CIA

1) Hire anonymous to hack Uncle Dennis and the agent. Get proof of collusion & tampering by Lakers and medical holdout.
2) Trade Kawhi to Lakers after fighting for as much as possible. (Ingram, ball, picks?)
3) Have anonymous leak the proof of collusion, tampering and medical holdout.
4) a) League suspends Kawhi for a year or more - blowing up the Lakers superteam
b) League forces Lakers to pay proper compensation for Kawhi & penalty for bad behaviour to SAS - how many future first round picks? (see Joe Smith and Minny for an example)
5) Sue Kawhi, Uncle, and Agent for commercial fraud (medical holdout). Get Kawhi's salary back for last year + damages (How many more playoff games would we have had if he was playing? How much more merch sales?)

[Marcus Bryant]

Or, just keep him until next February and then do a deadline deal with an EC playoff team. No supermax, no extension, no superteam.

The deceit is apparent and it will cost Leonard.

Kawhi is a big Beta and folds under pressure on being the Face of the Franchise, fill Duncan’s shoes, all that stuff. His mother said so herself after 2014 championship, her son doesn’t want to be a Superstar, doesn’t want to be the face of the franchise, just wants to be good at what he loves which is basketball. Kawhi’s “mental personality” cannot take the pressure of being The One. His prolonged injury could be anxiety, delaying the inevitable. He needs “nurturing,” reassurance from people close to him, Uncle Dennis his father-image. It didn’t help that Tony, Manu, Pops seemed pressuring him to come back, worst “alienating” him. He complained of Pops’ strict style. Uncle Dennis had a brilliant idea, how about going home with the family? Thinking it would even better for his brand, ka-ching! Approached Magic. Great, we are clearing up for LeBron sweepstakes, and btw PG is coming too! The rest is history.
