I love Lue defending Kawhi. “It has to be a serious injury for him not to play. We’ve seen him play through injuries in the playoffs.” Lol when? Toronto? I wish someone pushed back at him.
Nephew was desperate during that lone year in Toronto as he had to prove that he wasn't "damaged good" after the fallout with Spurs and everyone doubting his long term health.
Now, Nephew can afford to simply refuse to play as he fully understand that he had proven his value by winning that FMVP and le in 2019. Teams will still offer him big money despite his request for load managements and stuff.
As far as extracting money, he’s playing it beautifully. He probably should have retired already if he actually had to play games. So glad he’s not our headache anymore. But also can’t stand the guy for what he did to the small market Spurs.
or even follow up with "and why is this knee so injury prone? Were the Spurs right in saying he has a degenerative condition?"
How come Lue doesn't know for certain if it's a serious injury?
It has to be a serious injury for him not to play."
Reads more like veiled criticism
Because he doesn't talk to anyone, literally. He doesn't talk to the team doctors. He makes his own diagnoses. He doesn't talk to his teammates. He doesn't talk to his coach. I don't even get how he knows the plays.
Kawhi is done and the Clippers are on the hook for 2 more years @ 88 M. Co-star Paul George will be 33 and a half by the time next season starts, and he's injured more often than not. The new CBA and its increased restriction on adding talent when over the 2nd tax apron hurts them further. They're f*cked beyond repair, and they owe their picks through '26 to either Houston or OKC. They should wake up and pull the plug.
For that you should unload Kawhi onto whichever desperate team out there is willing to take him on the delusional notion he'll get them over the hump, even a single, far out 2nd rounder is better than what they've got going right how. Then field offers for Paul George and recoup what you can, selling for picks won't do since they don't hold control over their picks, but he might get you back a couple interesting young players or picks you can further flip, call Atlanta, NY, Brooklyn, Philly, Toronto, Chicago, Charlotte, Sacramento, Golden State, Minnesota... take the best offer and move on. You can't bottom out, but you can try and follow in Brooklyn's footsteps and set back the clock.
It just burns me that Presti is thought of as some genius when Jerry West made this colossal error in making that trade, essentially giving OKC enough for two great players when the Thunder were giving them only one.
Now it's being reported Kawhi has a torn meniscus.
Diagnosed by Uncle Dennis and the rest of the fam.

the stuff going on in LAC is hilarious. Lol at Kawhi ghosting his team mid game multiple times. what a cancerous situation. glad we moved on from this guy, fr
Hilarious. Truly grateful we don’t have to deal with that headache anymore.check out this thread: https://forums.realgm.com/boards/vie...?f=6&t=2285080
Presti's genius resides in smelling blood in the water and milking every ounce out of a favorable situation. Same goes for Ainge in the KG & Pierce to Brooklyn, and Gobert to Minnesota trades. The other party being desperate and idiotic is a necessary condition, but not sufficient for a rip off. You have to be shrewd and ruthless, and they are. Hats off to both Presti and Ainge for their trading skills, the best in the business.
Presti has done better with his non-lottery picks lately, but his career is littered with massive mistakes -- he's traded away some real winners on draft day. Sengun was a recent one. He gets a lot of swings of the bat coming up.
Ainge should get railed for trading away Conley to Minnesota and two good, very needed role-players to the Lakers for one single first round pick years from now. Just a massive failure there. He also killed Brooklyn and failed to win a championship with that haul. But what he got for Gobert and Mitc is filthy. Those teams should be good for a while, though.
That trade from the Clippers to Thunder was just gross.

Those are 2 separate things: I love Presti when it comes to making trades, but I also think he's massively overrated when it comes to drafting.
As for Ainge, I also didn't love the trade with Minnesota & the Lakers, that pick likely ends up underwhelming or not conveying. But his trading record overall is just ridiculous, he's several times in the "best trades ever" list.
Still think we should have been chanting "Kimesha Williams" when that got came to town
Agree. Just saying after putting the Nets over a barrel with a ridiculous trade, he didn't get anything out of it. Again shows how shredding teams in trades is not the same as doing something with the assets.
Hope the injury is career ending. He should focus on family anyway, so they dont all become murderers like his sister or murdered like his father.... at least uncle is still here.
" Unless you think he's just being a pussy and his injury isn't bad enough to keep him from playing" you have it here
I don't believe anything that Twitter guy says about Tyron Lue. He has some stupid bone to pick and none of that stuff smells right.
Also super annoying he calls Marcus Morris 'Mook' for some unbelievably stupid reason.
Maybe that's his nickname? I personally prefer for what he did to the Spurs. Classic case of the karma wheel ultimately turning. That whole NYK went down so that he COULD get to the Clippers, and now he hates it. As for Lue, I've always just considered him a players puppet kind of coach who won't give stars a hard time. First LeBron, then Kawhi/PG13.
