at anyone who thinks Kawhi will leave the supermax on the table when he still can't get his ass back on court in time, on a third attempt, despite his own public vows..
He just sat an entire season at the peak of his powers because of soreness. Can you really imagine this whole process again if tears something and goes under the knife 2-3 years from now?
I'm scared less about this guy health outlook going forward. From the wrist to the quad, the best doctors in the world have somehow been stumped by his injuries-- he alone..
Supermax or not. Its a real possibility Kawhi could be having the same issues next season. Im not a health expert but if its always going to be there do spurs want rhe same dramas again like others have pointed out. Can the spurs get an injury exception this time. Is there anything out there that protects the team from rhe risk they about to take in the supermax deal?
Could have gotten an injury exception if Kiwi hadn’t been expected to play “any minute now...”. Maybe it was a potential issue of friction at one point with the Spurs organization... It’s never been discussed and that should be private, but Pop could have just ruled Kiwi out for the rest of the season, since he didn’t even think he’d be back in time to begin with. He didn’t do that I assume to allow Kiwi the small chance to come back, but he said it was very unlikely and so far he seems to have been correct. Very concerning stuff.
Well Kawhi ain’t coming back.
Really? Well I guess that settles it. I'll alert the press.
This won't end until the season does. PATFO needs the public to believe that he will come back so they can keep selling tickets. The org. is already hemorrhaging money.
If PATFO really care about selling tickets, maybe they should sign real players instead of circus midgets.
Agreed, but there are just enough fat casuals who are perfectly okay with chumps like Fatty Mills, Bryn Forbes, and Gasoft to keep PATFO content.
Source for this?
Google it. They lost money last season. Can't imagine what's happening now with this joke roster and mediocre regular season.
I don’t think anyone involved is scrambling for rent.
Yeah those damn midgets!

Logic. If Kawhi doesn’t think he’s 100%, why bring him back for now less than 12 games, which isn’t enough to get in shape and will only destroy what little chemistry the Spurs have. If the Spurs were fighting for a top 3 seed, then maybe because he would have a little more time to play into shape in the first round. But Spurs being a 7 or 8 seed only means they get swept in the first round while Kawhi plays 15 minutes. Or, just as likely, the Spurs miss the playoffs. It’s a lost year for Kawhi.
Kawhi needs to prove he deserves the Supermax contract and the face of the franchise. It was handed to him in golden platter from Drob to Timvp and now to him. That’s like 29 years of getting in the playoffs, except when Drob really hurt his knee, emphasis on the really hurt, and not soreness. If Spurs get to 6th seed with Kawhi, I think they take Portland. Just not Rockets or Dubs in the first round. But Kawhi needs to get back soon, hopefully against limping Dubs on Monday.
If the injury can't get much worse playing on it, then he absolutely NEEDS to come back. He's got all off-season to rehab it. How much rest does he freaking need for an injury that isn't a tear or break? If it doesn't get any worse by playing on it, then he should give it a go because the Spurs really need him. They have a chance to do something with him, because without him they don't really have a chance to do anything. There's not much point in making the playoffs without him. The only thing I'd be interested in is giving the young guys court time in the playoffs (for experience) if they do make it without him and he's shut down for the season. I don't see the point in playing the vets as I'm not sure they can win a first series without him. However, if he still wants to try and come back in the playoffs, then I'd go all out and try and win the first round series to buy him some more time.
I'm pretty much decided on, even if he comes back in April or the playoffs, the Spurs would still be better off with him than without him.
I was just thinking about something like this.. If you’re able to do “intense workouts” to rehab it then shouldn’t playing on it make it able to get better too? That might help it more than anything at this point.
You have to question Kawhi’s compe iveness. Seeing his team fight for their lives while he sits and offers no real explanation of why he has sat out for most of the year. All we get is soon whenever he speaks and if you hadn’t healed by now, I doubt it will happen in the next week or 2. So disappointment with his lack of engagement with the fans. If you can’t trust the most conservative medical staff in the league then there are bigger issues to resolve. I’m really over this issue but would still welcome him back.
I guess Pop said his doctors didn't cleared him yet.
I doubt those doctors would put at risk their integrity and professionalism lying to an NBA coach of Pop's level. For what reason would they do it?
Kawhi's working so hard to return but he's not practicing with the team yet and there is not much time left...
Also Pop talked about sitting Tim in 2001 in a way that makes me doubt about him letting Kawhi play this season. Like Parker said it makes no sense to bring him back at this point of the season.

I don't question Kawhi compe iveness and toughness.
I think the knee is seriously jacked up.
He may never be the same.
Thanks for the guidance.
I followed your advice and found out you're basically speaking out of your ass.

Thanks Google. I learned a lot today. Summary: They're doing fine...better than most actually, which given we are a smaller market, means we are heavily overperforming our position.
I'm not sure why people come here to be miserable.
They lost money last season after revenue sharing. It was widely reported. Guess you were living under a rock at the time.
It’s Pop’s Robin Hood master plan. Steal from the rich and give to the Patty.
I don’t find what you are saying to be widely accepeted at all.
It says right there "Revenue".
Spurs be making money.
Ya it is . Spurs really have no choice but to supermax . Theres always the risk he the same next season so it could end up being a costly gamble. Thats why i was wondering is there anything that can protect the spurs. Injury exception wont cut it becuase spurs wont have a timeline for this type of injury.. pls correct me if im wrong on this ... for the contract experts
