As the Toronto Raptors work to assimilate All-NBA star Kawhi Leonard, the franchise is hiring his longtime friend and former high school/college teammate Jeremy Castleberry from the San Antonio Spurs (https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/sas) to be a player development coach, league sources told Yahoo Sports...

Who cares, put this in the NBA forum

Gotta wonder how much of a role Castleberry played in giving Kawhi coaching staff info, behind the scenes chatter, etc...
I doubt the full story will come out anytime soon. Still one of the strangest situations I've ever seen in the NBA.

Hopefully he doesn't purchase a house there....

This is getting pretty weird.. Probably his domestic partner, him and Kawhi used a surrogate mother

How stupid do you think the Spurs are? Do you think they're unaware of the connection, and that they would just talk about sensitive info in front of him? He was just a video coordinator, not the lead assistant.

That's right, his job was just to change the VHS tapes from Surf Ninja's to Mac & Me while Kawhi was watching.
On road games he had to have fresh batteries for the portable DVD player so Kawhi could watch Son of the Mask.

I get the sentiment about Kawhi and posting this in the NBA Forum. But if another assistant coach or staff member had found a job elsewhere, we'd post about it here in the Spurs forum.

Is this guy Jack Haley and Kawhi is Dennis Rodman? I guess he'll follow him around the league.

Think more like Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise in Rain Man.

Uncle Lavar Leonard was given the Raptors Chief Techmology Officer post

Did the Spurs hire Castleberry as a concession to Kawhi to begin with? That would be ironic if he was a back-biter who helped scuttle things with Kawhi. Otoh there is an odd symmetry to Toronto's hiring him to be Number 2's companion. It will be funnier next season when the Clips or Lakers hire him to be Kawhi's buddy when he jumps to one of them.

Nah, bra. He's uncle did the deed with the mother and made Leonard watch as usual.

[TheGreatYacht]

Better hiring than Nick Kerr. Period.

Fuck :lol

Hey did all of you forget Kawhi was our franchise player for several years? I imagine all of you saying move this to the NBA forum with a face full of tears.

Very realistic scenario IMO.. the sister was filming.

I’m surprised the Lakers didn’t hire him. Oh well, I guess he’ll have to wait a year before moving to LA.
