With Parker/Kyle gone, who will be the most hated/divisive player on ST?

Take time to review the Kawhi trade again.

Nah, Spurs have thought about trading him for a while. Spurs were forced to accept pennies on the dollar because of Uncle Dennis' antics.

They didn't have to accept a DD salary dump. The Raptors were desperate to offload DeRozen and that potential deal would have been on the table for months to come. They had plenty of time to shop around for better offers but the PATFO caved because Vegas minicamp was coming and they wanted to wrap things up.

Philly's offer minus Fultz was better than Toronto's offer and not only did they trade away Kawhi for a salary dumped Demar DeRozen, they threw in Danny Green for FREE. What a bullshit FO. Neither RC or Pop have the stones to deal with today's NBA players. They set the franchise back 5-7 years with this trade.

gasol and mills

I don't get the rush to trade him. Winning cures all. Bring him back and start winning some games. They definitely didn't win this trade unless KL's got a bum knee.

C'mon man, Derozan is hardly a salary dump. He's not Kawhi Leonard but he is a 4 time All-Star. Toronto hit a wall and needed to shake things up. As for Danny Green, his best days were behind him. He lost a step on D and was awful on offense. He's been in trade discussions for the last 2 or 3 years. I'm not 100% certain the Spurs are done with trades.

SG's: DeRozan, Mills, White, Walker, Forbes, Belinelli, Ginobili?
Center: Gasol, Poeltl
PG: Murray, Brandon Paul (?)
PF: Lamarcus Aldridge, Davis Bertans
SF: Rudy Gay, Dante Cunningham

Who am I missing? Blossomgame & Metu? This roster is out of whack - especially since Mills is not a PG.

is it too late to say the guy that will likely be the most hated player in our history- Kawhi "Nephew" Leonard? (To be fair I don't 'hate' Kawhi, but I don't hold him in high esteem)

If it has to be someone actually "playing" basketball for us, I'd say Forbes will be the most likely 'whipping boy,' but he will improve this year nonetheless.

After last night, Forbes is further cementing the consensus #1 spot around here.

Forbes gonna run away with the hate trophy.

Provided he doesn't get overplayed, I wouldn't hate Forbes per se. One of the reasons to dislike a player is them get playing time before better players than them, or get put in positions where they don't do well.
