Pinoy maurader was fantasizing about uncle Dennis wife. I think appo is kawitter. And it cost him a ton of money

I can’t believe anyone could top Durant going to a 73 win team as the shittiest thing someone could shamelessly do.

That's child play compared to what this coward did. Kawhi's act is a bush league move for the ages..I do think it will trigger something written in the next CBA.
As for Spursfans they will never forget or forgive..

Call it MB's Razor. The most boring explanation is the right one. Leonard wanted out and his uncle and agent in their bumbling way made it happen.
I think he wanted out because he wasn't going to be offered the supermax. He wasn't being offered the supermax because his representation issues have caused problems for years...see the all star game stuff and reported attempts by uncle to force his way into the Spurs front office. The Spurs likely wanted changes in that representation before offering it.
Kawhi is extremely prone to suggestion I'm guessing and probably had birds in his ear about disrespect, larger markets, bigger contracts, and the like.
Combined, that chatter along with the perception of familial disrespect coming from the Spurs, finally pushed him into a corner where he felt he couldn't be happy/respected here.
Sadly, I have little doubt he would have been a Spurs lifer had he never been introduced to Impact Sports or let business mix with family.

Re: What has been the most surprising thing your learned during this Kawhi saga?
Reading through all this I see a lot of informed opinions from people who have good ideas. But at the end of the day no one really knows. My personal opinion is that Leonard is done and has a career ending, degenerative injury. Otherwise I think he would have come back at some point before the playoffs to prove himself, even if he wanted to leave the Spurs. But like I say, no one really knows.
Personally I am happy to have DeRozan and Poeltl going forward.

IDK man. He put in all that work to become the player he is just so he could be in LA? The focus was always getting there, everything else like winning or forming a superteam was an afterthought. It just doesn't make sense for a player that put in the work he has, that has expressed a strong desire to win and go down as a legend...to all of a sudden just want to be in LA so badly. So much so that he's willing to possibly throw away 2 years of his prime.
Everything points to the Unc and Impact Sports, imo. Kawhi is probably submissive to Unc.

Re: What has been the most surprising thing your learned during this Kawhi saga?
And there is something off about him, obviously. I don't know if he's dumb...he actually was really well spoken during interviews towards the end. Im not saying he's Einstein but there's a lot of NBA players that are dumber, imo. He clearly doesn't have social anxiety, but he also doesn't really know how to conduct himself in social situations. Doesn't have feelings like the average human, not like in a he's a cold asshole kind of way, just geniunely doesn't feel much.

edit: so I guess basically he's an Autist :lol

Yeah but Boogie is kinda a joke right? He's not a serious player... hell he's proly a subtraction to that team. KD and his gay ass actually is a SA threat. That dude makes shit almost impossible to beat!
Shittiest things to go down in the NBA:
1. Leonard betrays the hand that made him
2. KD screws OKC and the NBA over
3. LBJ abandons the Land for south beach
4. Mailman joins the Fakers
5. NBA favors more scoring in lieu of physicality. Remember when every one used to make fun of the "soft" Euros? Finesse.. big men that shoot 3s.. lack of toughness.. Well that's the NBA today ain't it? Bring back the hand-check and force these fools to limit all this damn resting BS.
I know... i'm stuck on the 90's. SO?!!!

The naivete of spurstalkers regarding national (sports) media. Post after post surprised/shocked/angered by clearly biased unsubstantiated rumors being reported as facts.
I hope you realize this phenomenon is not limited to sports media. It's much worse at the national news level. It's an agenda-filled, for-profit industry. Don't ever forget that.
amen

Maybe he's always had it deep inside, but this is by far the most astonishing heel turn I can recall in all professorial sports.. Zach Lowe in his recent podcast said people in the Spurs organization still can't figure out when they did exactly lose him.

Re: What has been the most surprising thing your learned during this Kawhi saga?
most surprising was how much the story changed... he's recovering from last year's injury/it's a different injury/he's back/he has to sit out/he's almost 100%, playing 3 on 3/he said "for sure" about staying a spur/he wants to go to the lakers/he doesn't want to go to the lakers now that lebron's there/he would be okay going to the lakers to play with lebron...

Re: What has been the most surprising thing your learned during this Kawhi saga?
That there are already reporters stating that KL is reaching out to other NBA players to gauge where they would like to team up with Kawhi in 2019-20 when he is an UFA. Playing on the Lakers isn't the only option. One option may surprise ... the Brooklyn Nets! But thanks to Spurs trained Sean Marks, Nets GM, Brooklyn is looking at a sick amount of cap space, especially if they do a sign and trade with Allen Crabb's contract and his player option next offseason. Uncle Dennis and Kyrie Irving's Dad are tight from what I've read on this forum. And, it's been widely reported that Jimmy Butler and Kyrie Irving are looking to team up as well. This guy hasn't played a minute in Toronto yet!

This looks like he is not exactly concerned about that horrible quad issue. That lasted long.

Re: What has been the most surprising thing your learned during this Kawhi saga?
I learned that apparently the discord started when the Spurs delayed the extension in order to help the cap situation. Leonard and his camp took it as a slight that the Spurs waited. So instead of being a team player like Tim, Manu, or Green, Leonard didn't care about the cap or the team, just his money. Now, because of his angst, he has lost tens of millions. What a selfish, gutless idiot.

Re: What has been the most surprising thing your learned during this Kawhi saga?
He lost a bundle... deservingly. So that's good!

Nothing. Somebody do some real investigative reporting!
