Welp im convinced
GM of LA Lakers?
Do you have a link?
B b b b but he’s so loyal and so humble. ��
Kiwi can’t even wipe his own ass much more lead. He is a deadly assassin though
He was a jackass to a team that created him and coddled his development / injury so he could get his way to LA. But was instrumental in a fifth ring.
He’s a mercenary, but a damn good one at that. Toronto will forever be happy. He may be out for himself, but he’s worth way more than the max.

Kawhi Leonard, fresh off winning a championship with and for the Toronto Raptors, comes close. Leonard, who signed a three-year, $103 million deal with the Los Angeles Clippers that makes him eligible in two years for a supermax salary, is widely regarded as one of the best two-way players in the league, a positive locker room presence and capable of creating and making shots in crunch time. But one Western Conference general manager stopped short of describing him as a leader because of his sphinx-like demeanor and his limited playmaking ability. (For comparison, Jamal Crawford, considered primarily a scorer, averaged more assists—3.6—in 18.9 minutes per game than Leonard did—3.3—in 34.0.)
"Kawhi is great getting his, but he doesn't elevate anyone," the GM says. "He doesn't rally his team."
An Eastern Conference vice president of player personnel somewhat agrees. "He does have leadership qualities," he says, "but it depends on how you define 'leader.' He's obviously not vocal, and he's not a galvanizer. He does it with his work ethic and by example."
This is a Hit peace on TEAM KAWHI....
lol uncle Dennis
Stopped reading at "positive locker room presence"Quote:

He got what he wanted and lost out on a lot of money too. He did pay a price for going home. We should all move on. If we can trade DeRozan for a good player that fits the team better, the future is bright for SA

All his teammates talked about his leadership in that series. It's funny how some GMs want to ignore it
kawhi wants to play basketball, have an impact on a game and chase another chips. He doesnt care about money and is a poor leader. He aint like huge attention and prefer the well organized teams form which only a few or non plot twists are coming from. Just a silent killer. I think that the one of the main reasons he has left the spurs was no chances of winning another ring.

dont think so, 1) our young guys arent good enough yet, 2) aldridge was slightly, but still, worse with kawhi than without him now, 3) u really think that durant+klay+thompson>kawhi+aldridge? 4) u may say „yeah but he carried tor to chips” but remember that 1. gsw was injured and 2. tor had more talented and experienced players in gasol, kyle or siakam.Quote:

Then a half dozen bloggers upgrade some of the details and puke it back out.
And that's "all over the news"? :lol
Thanks for the Kawhi update. I'm glad all this didn't get buried in the 400 page Kawhi update thread we already have. This is important shit.
^ this
And Pop was officially proven way wrong as Kwa took the Chip his 1st farking season with Toronto while he and Coffee Boi his annointed Leader couldn't even get out of the 1st round.
Rick Bucher is a GSW fanboy. Expected per par.
Dude won a ring in Toronto. That alone makes him a max player. Now the argument could be that he is always injured so he doesn’t play even close to a full season so I wouldn’t pay him the max. But again, he won a ring in Toronto. Man deserves his money.
At the end of the year would you rather your team see this:
