He was traded. I'm sure he'd have preferred to go to LAL and played second banana to Lavar and son.
People were dubious that PG could play second banana to Kawhi, and he went to OKC to play with Westchuck!![]()

2nd best team in the NBA last season staying the same, horrible. Don't see a legitimate FA move or trade to move SA past GSW this summer. Like the idea of staying put and hoping young players come back stronger
I didn't mean to imply that he went to OKC by choice. But the idea that he would settle into a second banana role in the future with Westchuck -.
NO! I want James Johnson. .
Not staying exactly the same. Tony will not be back until the second half of the season. And how diminished his play will be is anybody's guess at this point. The young players HAVE to come back stronger for the Spurs to be any good at all.
Yet, free agency isn't over, and trades are still possible...
Did he sign with Utah? I knew some guys on ST would be disappointed.
Spurs trying to land Michael Porter or Doncic.
Well, Russ doesn't play at the same PG's position like Kawhi does, Russ never was a rival for PG in the best SF run while Kawhi already surpassed PG.
Plus, one of PG/Kawhi would have to change his natural spot on the court, playing with Russ there is no need to...
Russ and PG, both have high profile, both extroverted guys, maybe PG's personality would contront more with all business Kawhi than crazy Russ

Kawhi could easily play a SG. SGs trying to matched up with him would be brutal.
Regardless of position or change of position, Kawhi has proven over his career that he doesn't have to be nearly as ball-dominant as Westchuck. I thought Kawhi might be relieved to have an extroverted, media-centric teammate. In fact the team may have benefitted in that regard. But I agree, Indy was not gonna deal him to us or the Celts.
Completely agree. Kawhi at the 2 and PG at the 3 was a no-brainier that would have worked well.
Kawhi could move to SG or PF. It would be absolutely no problem pairing him with Paul George. That's a silly argument if you're using that as a reason not to get Paul George.
That's the great thing about the versatility small forwards bring to the table. Small forwards have the versatility to play the 4 or 2. Or in some cases vs. Cavs and Warriors, they can play the 5 as well.
I'm not using it...But I say why PG can mesh with Russ...Also, I guess that's what PG and his camp can think next season as reason not to join a Kawhi's team.
I'm sure Spurs will go after Paul as well as Lebron next year. Not that they'll get either one. But in my dreams Kawhi, Paul, Lebron would be a mf and GS would be toast.
Rudy must be on his way........ patience may get us Olynk👍🏾
Boston would be crazy not to call us about LA! LA better fetch us something great!!
Which Spurs team is better 2009-2010 or 2017-2018?
Rudy? I like Olynik. He breasted against the Cavs.
But will they be the second best team next season when everyone else is upgrading and they aren't?
Don't want Kawhi at PF except in extreme small-ball situations.
They would need Kawhi's injury to be MUCH worse than it is.
Whichever one doesn't have Richard Jefferson starting.
Yahoo sports is saying a Boston and Memphis Gasol trade bears watching... I'm not sure what Boston would be giving up but, if they are looking for a big to put beside Horford we've got one that I'm sure we could send there way.
