What 'issue'? This is the first I hear of it... I translate pretty much every Manu interview, he always speaks highly of Kawhi.

And yeah, once the player stops paying attention to the organization, they're on their own, tbh... the fact that Pop was unchained too, was eye opening, IMO...

What bothers me is how this is viewed among young NBA players.

Be like " the Spurs are so great BUT Pop chose to lose a top-5 player that played 6 years for him just to support his doctors and old players... What will happen to me if I have an issue in SA, no one will have my back there, old players and Pop only support each other...They didn't max him but give their old guy too much money..it seems that's hard to play for the Spurs if your name isn't Parker or Ginobili"

this is really stupid

[YGWHI]

I would guess not, considering he lives in Argentina.

You shouldn't trust IP's, Kori.

In terms of passive aggressive and throwing kiwi under the bus the king has been Pop but I guess kiwi uncle prefer blame tony and manu

in no time dat ygwhi kiwi uncle is gonna explain kiwi is leaving because two teammates threw him under the bus saying basically that spurs med are great and that good team mates play even being in pain...

but but uncle
but but it is painful
but but better things to do than sitting on the bench cheering for his teammates
tony is so mean
I’m a gym rat I don’t explain myself to the press or to the fans... fans, the spurs docs, my teammates

gtfo player fan and take your lane whinny excuses with you

Young players know there's a hierarchical structure in every organization, starting with the owners, down to the coaches and staff and then the players.

The only reason the Spurs didn't ship Kawhi's ass to the street, like it happens with a ton of those 'young players' that think they're above the organization, is because he has a giant money guarantee and trade value, tbh...

I didn't.

Kawhi is too cheap to hire an American to wipe his ass so he goes to Argentina for some Mexican?

[Kori Ellis]

You are loony if you think Manu and Tony have had something personal against Kawhi. It's not a bad thing to acknowledge Tony's blown up quad is 100 times worse than having tenderness, or that if you are injured, you should still try to maintain connections with the team.

[Chinook]

I would guess not, considering he lives in Argentina.

Well he DID say Manu's and Kawhi's beef has been a long time running.

[ElNono]

Wonder what message does it send to young players to quit on the team that gave you a shot at the NBA in the first place?

If he wanted to be traded and these 'issues' with the older players and coach were coming from such a long time, why not ask for a trade last summer and move on? Why extend this charade?

Makes no sense.

Like others have said he's Kawhi's butler. He serves this role for Kawhi

Y's been doing that for years now. Back when I used to be the resident non-troll Kawhi "hater", he and I had plenty of back-and-forths. If anything, his posting style has matured.

[YGWHI]

I didn't.

Good, you didn't.

[MoSpur02]

YGWHI is in charge of Kawhi's unofficial Quad's Fanpage

[spursistan]

Have never come across a more lame broken record on a sport forum than this YGWHI fella..

Holy those desperate wimpy excuses..SeriousLy GTFO ..

Like I'm the only one guy in the world that think they threw him under the bus, right?

It's funny because most people here already know that Parker/Manu got roasted on Tw/IG, esp Parker, for saying it.

I wonder who says he wanted a trade?

[Kawhitstorm]

Nah

Like it or not, there were many Spurs fans that thought Parker/Manu shouldnt have questioned him in public, it didn't help.

Their words just created more media-drama and this type of fans' reactions.

Just in case, I'm not this guy, either.

Tony er is a snake

[ElNono]

You said he's been uncomfortable with the old guys for a long while now... your claim. Either he was or was not. If he was, as you claim, he didn't need to extend this charade.

[YGWHI]

Again, if you know this, why do you expect him to support his teammates if they don't want him there? Doesn't make sense.

[daslicer]

All kind of support but Parker/Manu's comments.


Do you really think that Parker/Manu stuck with him all season until Pop said they shouldn't? I doubt it.

Do you remember Parker/Manu talking about Kawhi as an MVP candidate last season? Only Pau, Green and Mills did it. No Parker, no Manu.

This issue between Parker/Manu and Kawhi isn't new.

Obviously you are making up lies but if your going to be a good liar try to make up more realistic lies. Manu is one of the most selfless teammates to ever have played the game. It doesn't make any sense why he would have tension with Kawhi. He's not competing with Kawhi for minutes and points.

[SAGirl]

Something that isn't mentioned about the team meeting... the information leaked was that teammates were imploring him to come back. This is not the team telling him to GTFO, quite the opposite. So why would he be upset about it? Weird.
