Kawhis Uncle wants Kawhi in LA

[TD 21]

If Spurs were trying to mend the relationship and reel him back in, I think the right approach is the patient, give you your space/ we trust you and care your long term health approach, no?

This has literally put the Spurs in a spot they have never experienced before.

Blame Uncle Robertson.

Sure, but that's different than sitting out a ton of games when you're supposedly healthy.

The question now becomes, do they offer the super max in the summer? Still think it's more likely than not and that him accepting it is as well. The difference between that and a regular max is a lot of money and as bleak as this situation might look, until proven otherwise, when healthy, they're still an elite team (though clearly not contenders). He also strikes me as the type who's not overly concerned with the talent around him.

[YGWHI]

Not if he wants to go to a team that doesn't have to deplete its roster to acquire him.

Players don't choose..Do you really think IT wanted to be traded? Do you really believe PG3 wanted to play in OKC?

Do you really think that Kawhi wants to put at risk his super-max extension just for what...?

For playing other year here or wherever until his FA?

What if he gets injured next season before FA...His value would decrease even more. Can you see a guy like Kawhi making these very risky decisions?

It's pretty obvious it's in both parts interest to see Kawhi on court. Who says the opposite is just crazy.

Old news, almost a year ago.

Please take that useless sack of Mills with you to LA. Actually, take the whole damn roster, they are all .

[Ice009]

I remember his Uncle as a player now -- LaVar Leonard.

I thought his uncles last name was Robertson? Whoever the guy is, he seems like a completely incompetent up if Kawhi is actually listening to this guy. He's going to end up ing Kawhi's career up the way he's going.

[TheGreatYacht]

Cant wait. Happy for him.

OP is such a got.

Young needs to shut the up. It's clear where he keeps getting his info from. It's a horrible move to be this vociferously on Kawhi's side in this conflict when he's going to be in SA whether Leonard is there or not.

[dabom]

Facts bad now.

[Chinook]

His sister put a target on Kawhi. If you're going to say "wait until Kawhi weighs in", then Kawhi needs to weigh in. Otherwise it just seems like terrible damage control.

Agreed completely.

The longer Kawhi stays quiet about it, the worse it looks.

Maybe true.. The other side is, Kawhi doesn't need to address the rumors about him wanting to leave because they're bogus.

[Chinook]

The thing is, I don't think Kawhi should say anything. It can only hurt the team for him to do so. The first time we should get confirmation that Kawhi wants out should be when a trade is announced, and if he doesn't want out, this firestorm doesn't matter. I doubt the players on the roster is really in the dark out that, one way or the other. So Kawhi's words would only mollify fans, and until the team sees fans turn away because of this (like not picking up season tickets), what fans think doesn't matter.

Just saying that his sister should have taken a page out of Kawhi's book and stayed quiet.

I agree and just said that. I don't think Leonard should weigh in. His sister didn't need to say what she said, though, because it makes it seem like we should be anticipating Leonard making a statement.

Better than this:

Him giving a different POV than the PATFO fluffers is what I like about him.

Well, Young he's not a PATFO sucker like the rest. He's not affraid of showing the other side of the story.

Can't remember the last time that we have in SA a journalist giving a version that's not Pop/RC version? Buck Harvey never was that guy. JeffMcDonald either.
IDK about Ludden because I barely remember him.

It seems like he really knows Jeff

If I could shake that guy Brian’s hand, I would. Way to call out that hack right to his ing face!

He probably reads Spurstalk or has an account.

Ludden actually had sources inside the organization and used to pass it to Woj for his articles when both were in Yahoo.

Tribalism usually wins the day. Look no further than Spurs' inability to attract superstars.

Disagree that Leonard shouldn't address it though. He absolutely should, especially if it's being blown out of proportion, if for no other reason than the distraction it's been for the team. It shouldn't be the front office or players' jobs to constantly have to answer essentially on his behalf, nor his uncle. He's a grown man, who should at least have the decency to answer to his teammates and put this to rest publicly, so that they can focus on doing their job.

[YGWHI]

Kawhi's sister Miesha is 10 years older than him, she was in some way like his mom when Kawhi's mother worked.

She loves his brother, she's so proud of him and will protect him from everything and everyone.

Having said that, I doubt Kawhi likes his fams talking about this.

Thanks. I get it now. Like Michael Wright is working with Woj since he's in SA.

The only reason why people are freaking out or “speculating” are because of the rumors he wanted out of SA..but that was pretty much shut down by the uncle and the sister..

But that gets ignored because it kills the interest or story..yes there’s frustration which is expected tbh..I mean even as I fan of the team I’m frustrated..can’t imagine what PATFO and Kawhi are going through.. they’ve got a reputation and 200M on the line in almost 90 days.
