Who knows if she is telling the truth. This was in response to fans acknowledging that Kawhi is gone and others hoping he stays.
So the sister's mantra has changed from "he's still a Spur" to "the whole family NEVER lived IN SA." Interesting . . .

I'd do this trade if I were them because they'd be in good position if he walked, but financially it'll be difficult to make it work long term with their core and it'll be as difficult if not more keeping everyone happy. 4 go to type perimeter players, all in or pre prime, is unprecedented. Someone(s) is probably going to be unhappy.
Spurs can't let Leonard walk for nothing; it would set the franchise back years. Brown, Kings 1st, Rozier, Morris (rerouted for something like Bradley and Jerebko's non guaranteed, who'd be waived), Yabusele, Nader, might not sound great, but it's a chance at 2 foundational pieces (Brown, who already looks to be and the Kings 1st), plus a low end starter (Rozier). That's like skipping the first few years of a typical re-build.
finally, a post that's smarter than the :madrun kiwi the autist sucks send him to orlando if we dont get back top 5 picks and A level prospects fuck him make him sit out a year :madrun unrealistic bullshit

Apparently she wrote that Kawhi wants to better his life according to others on Twitter, but no screenshots. If true, that says pretty much everything...

If you can somehow get on the same page, then KL should be motivated to re-earn the SuperMax by making All NBA or DPOY.
Of course, he could take another year off to"nurse his injury" until he's an FA. But then KL would have lost 2 years of his prime, 80 million dollars, and a lot of good will league wide. Even Uncle Dennis would have to admit that perhaps it wasn't the soundest advice.
Also, by then the Lakers would like have eaten their cap space. So cross that destination off the list Denny...

Trade kawhi to toronto for dedumpster and valanchunis. It of course wouldn’t and shouldn’t happen but im sure Toronto will try and maybe that rises trade offers

What does this even mean and who is she talking to? Seriously, put your big boy pants on and tell everyone where you stand. Jeez

He can claim whatever he wants. I wouldn't let him into training camp, practices, or games if he's still on the roster. He doesn't get to audition for his next contract on the Spurs time.

It's just his logo, not sure why people are over analyzing it. Probably just a simple pro-Kawhi post.
And it's such a beautiful, creative logo too. I was anxiously waiting for the day when official merchandise with his logo came out. All I have is a t-shirt with it which will probably have to be burned now. :cry

Yo stop attacking family members. Unless its Dennis, they dont have anything to do with these.

Nah, Kawhi should light it up for the Spurs next season if possible because (1) it helps the team win, (2) it increases his trade value and (3) maybe once he works up a sweat, the old feelings kick in and he wants to stay and win.

Seriously, Uncle Retard and Jabari are fair game. But his sister/mom, by all accounts, have been pro-Spurs.
You fat losers should leave them alone tbh.

I don't think you even need to wait for training camp. LA will be very interested in signing the FAs they want. They won't want to dawdle, and once they cap out, trades become easier and more lucrative.

I disagree on point (3), he already abandoned the team and I don't see how you can go back on that. And then (1) would be the worst part since you'd get a worse draft pick and still lose Kawhi anyways. I also disagree somewhat on (2) because if you suspend him you can probably get him to expand the list of teams he'd extend with since he's going to be dying to get out on the floor. There is no way he's going to want to sit out another season.

Maybe he wants out since he's opposed to the Spurs bringing back Tony Parker on a loyalty contract.
Hasn't there always been some friction between the two of them?
