Wow can we get him to send some of his HIV+ blood to us too?
He can also send over his gay son and the Spurs can hoist him up in the rafters like a big gay banner and he can sing and wave sparklers during the games.
LMA is a crying , I'm not talking about him. I'm just comparing Duncan to Leonard.
Still better than Mills

At first glance, it would be natural to believe the Spurs will get this under control before anything unforeseen takes place, however, this is not the first time reports have surfaced involving the two. Back on June 23, Stephen A. Smith reported on his radio show he heard they considered trading the MVP candidate to the Knicks:
“Melo and George was one trade, guess who the San Antonio Spurs called… the New York Knicks, and said they were willing to move Kawhi Leonard and clean house. But then they stepped back from it and changed their minds. These are all the things I knew over the last couple days … but I got it confirmed just a few minutes ago, yet again!"
Kawhi and the spurs
I need a new team
Should I join Rockets wagon??

If you like underachievement or choking, go for it.
Still better than watching Fatty s diarrhea losses every game
Dont know about that but Kiwi is a weird human specimen, he had that hand injury that was unknown for every scientist on earth and now this.
lol at all the Kawhi suckers thinking was all gravy. Spurs are like any other business. We just got lucky with Duncan, Parker and Ginobili. Spurs haven't won after Duncan left.
That being said it's not wrong for them to ever explore selling high. That's what a business does. That's what the best investors do. It also ensures long term success, the kind of crap they write articles about later and say wow, the Spurs are the Haves and the rest of the league front offices are Have Nots and How Did they Dodge the Rebuilding Process etc. It's always about making boss moves.
as one of the few "insiders" left here, i can state that this report is false.
Troj-bomb
Shocked to hear the news. Real or not something is definitely there. To me it just sounds like kawhi's camp is trying to make sure he gets his supermax
One thing I'll say is the timing. Funny how this comes out before a "big" game against the Cavs and not let's say, like last game vs the Pacers. One thing I hate about the NBA and how they (including the networks) manufacture up even if it's true.
Same with trades. Oh look Paul George was traded to the Lakers... who is he playing next week on TNT? The Thunder!
Im a full blown Kawhistan but to me its always seemed like he also has some desire to build a brand. He's been quietly rocking his Klaw apparel for years. There's gotta be a little diva/ego in there for someone to have that desire. He's not like Timmy in that sense since he genuinely never cared about that.
I named my youngest pug after Kawhichael too. I hope he doesn't end up bolting on the Spurs for LA or some .
LMAO @ Kawhi being injury prone...the guys has missed a combined 18 games in his 2 previous seasons...with the majority of those being Pop sitting him as if he is a baby...you posters on here must be 15 if you cant remember timmy and manu being injured a lot, and with more nagging injuries than kawhi had in a similar period of time...for goodness sakes duncan didnt even play in the 2000 playoffs (or was it 2001)...i see someone on here calling him grant hill...LMFAO! i hate you ppl

Months of discord centering on elements of treatment, rehabilitation and timetables for return from a right quadriceps injury have had a chilling impact on San Antonio Spurs star Kawhi Leonard's relationship with the franchise and coaching staff, league sources told ESPN.
Under president and coach Gregg Popovich and general manager RC Buford, the Spurs have a two-decades-long history of strong relationships with star players, but multiple sources describe Leonard and his camp as "distant" and "disconnected" from the organization.
Beyond the current rehab for the injury that has caused Leonard, an All-NBA forward, to miss most of the regular season, there is work to be done to repair what has been until now a successful partnership.
In an interview with ESPN, Buford rejected the reporting of turbulence between the franchise and Leonard.
Kawhi Leonard's stop-and-start rehab is causing issues with the team. Soobum Im-USA TODAY Sports
"There is no issue between the Spurs organization and Kawhi," Buford said. "From Day 1 all parties have worked together to find the best solutions to his injury."
Buford described a frustrating process of rehabilitation for what has been an elusive solution to an injury.
"This has been difficult for everyone," Buford told ESPN. "It's been difficult for Kawhi. He's an elite-level player. It's been difficult for the team, because they want to play with a great teammate. And it's been difficult for our staff. Historically we've been able to successfully manage injuries. This rehab hasn't been simple, and it hasn't gone in a linear fashion."
Leonard missed the first 27 regular-season games and has played only nine. Last week the Spurs sent him back to San Antonio to continue his rehabilitation process. Leonard has told the Spurs at different stages of the process that he wasn't comfortable with his ability to play through the injury and that the Spurs shut him down.
"We sought outside expertise with the best tendon experts in the world," Buford said. "It worked beautifully for Tony [Parker], but it hasn't worked the same for Kawhi."
The 15th overall pick in the 2011 draft, Leonard has developed into one of the most dominant players in the league, becoming a two-time first-team All-NBA player, a two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year and the 2014 NBA Finals MVP in the Spurs' victory over the Miami Heat.
Despite Leonard's absence and limited minutes in the nine games he has played, the Spurs are 30-18 and tied with the Minnesota Timberwolves for the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference.
The Spurs initially disclosed Leonard's injury on Sept. 30, announcing that he would miss the entire preseason because of right quadriceps tendinopathy. Popovich said at the time Leonard would "probably miss the beginning of the preseason or a good deal of preseason," and indicated the quadriceps issue first developed sometime in the 2016-17 season.
After Leonard missed the Spurs' first 10 regular-season games in October and November, Popovich said that he was "just coming along more slowly" than expected in his rehabilitation.

Spurs demote Parker to bench, start Murray
Spurs point guard Tony Parker met with Gregg Popovich before Sunday's loss to the Pacers, and Popovich told him he "thought it was time" to go with someone else in the starting lineup. Parker came off the bench for the 21st time in his career.
On Nov. 22, Popovich said that he had "never" encountered a quadriceps issue like the one Leonard is experiencing.
"What's really strange is that Tony Parker has the same injury, but even worse," Popovich told reporters. Parker ruptured a left quadriceps tendon in the Western Conference playoffs in May, a far more severe injury, and returned to the Spurs' lineup nearly seven months later.
Leonard made his season debut on Dec. 12, scoring 13 points in 16 minutes against the Dallas Mavericks. The Spurs kept Leonard on a minutes restriction and held him out of back-to-back games until Leonard sustained a strained left shoulder on Jan. 5 against the Phoenix Suns
Leonard missed three games with the shoulder injury, then returned to the lineup on Jan. 13 against Denver, scoring 19 points in 28 minutes. Days later, the Spurs made public a decision to shut down Leonard indefinitely, sending him back to San Antonio from a team trip through the Northeast.
Popovich said that Leonard "didn't reinjure" the quad and insisted that the organization was erring on the side of caution with its franchise player.
"You've got to be confident in your body to go out there and play at the level he's expected to play," Popovich told reporters. "We didn't feel he was ready. His confidence level wasn't there. So we decided to give it some more time."
In 39 games without Leonard on the floor this season, the Spurs have registered a 25-14 record (5-4 with Leonard in the lineup) and ranked No. 16 in offensive and No. 2 in defensive efficiency.
In the le of this thread why is the U in SPURS an asterisk?
He's definitely not as injury prone as some say. (Btw he did have a calf injury he sat out a couple games in the last 2 seasons)
He's had some odd injuries tho, but nothing that puts him as some unreliable guy whos body can't hold up
Welp, looks like s just gonna keep hitting the fan. I wouldn't even be surprised if he's gone by the end of the year.
Is his uncle still in San Antonio. His sister moved back to California so I can understand her getting things wrong, but I thought he still had family members living in San Antonio. Does his Mom and Uncle still live in San Antonio? If they've moved back to California, then I don't think that's a good sign.Drunkford
Of course he'll deny this for 2 reasons. Can't have his ego take a hit & cant let Kawhi's trade value drop
As for Kawhi's uncle.... LMAO. His own sister got his return to the court wrong, how is his uncle going to know what the is going on from over there one Cali
What does the first bit mean? "Melo and George was one trade"?

OP is right. Kawhi is indeed "chilling." While cashing them checks totaling about $21M this year. I'm sure he's very angry when he looks at his bank statements
