Yes, I have also expressed the belief that he has a mental/emotional health issue. If so, Kawhi deserves our sympathy not our scorn. But I do not think you invest a supermax deal on such a risk.
Reports saying LAC is angling to make a move for him this offseason. Seems his "groups " plan is working out so far. All that's left is for PATFO to get sick of his and start looking seriously at moving him.
That's a crazy speculation you're doing there.
The lack of information make people imagine crazy explanations without anything to support it...
Agree 100%. I have played team sports, basketball at a compe ive lvl. And even during injuries you stay and support the team as best as possible. Sitting behind the your teammates on the bench and being involved is a no brainer.
Which leaves me to think it’s not injury related, and KL doesn’t want to be part of the SPURS, nor the team.
side bar to this is that if KL did sit on the bench or close to it like Steph C. Did in Game 1 (like a good teammate). Can you imagine all the taughting or boos’s KL would get, maybe it’s better he doesn’t.

Who cares about the boos. Just be there for your team.
They got two lottery picks. If they got the first pick which is most likely Ayton, and you could get both lottery picks Tobias Harris, and maybe sign and trade Avery Bradley, you might move Mills or Gasol with their bad contracts along with him.
My guess is, after the season is over, the Spurs will fall on the sword and say they asked Kawhi to stay away. They have to to keep his trade value as high as possible and not make him look like a head case.
Their picks are projected to be 12th and 13th along with Tobias Harris, that's not an awful package but probably not enough. I'm not good when it comes to S&T's so I don't know how- if at all -that would work with Bradley.
Clippers could always make a trade with another team to better their package. Something like trading another player the spurs dont need for another pick etc.
I was right. You all were wrong
Two shots to move higher than 12 or 13. I think one of the two will land in the top 5. Just a hunch. No facts.
no Duncan = no culture
According to CBS
(https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/n...-overall-pick/)
Those picks each have a less than a 3 percent chance of moving into the top 3 and probably only a 5 % chance of being top five. I expect them to be about the same as where they are projected- which is still fairly valuable.
you I agree, should be there in show of support. I’m just sayin it has to be something other than injury now..
Don't think those picks would pry a top 7 or 8 pick from the teams picking high in the draft. Those picks, plus 18 and Toby Harris would be a good foundation to rebuild/ retool though that package could be bested by Boston.
The only trade that I could see maybe fitting your description would be moving both picks for Kemba Walker and then reroute him to us along, with Harris, and we send them Kawhi.
Charlotte probably wouldn't do that considering Jordan clearly wants Kawhi. he could try and package Monk, the 11th and Kemba to the Spurs but that' not a great package IMO.
Number of posts in this thread would probably be cut in half if people just stuck to facts and avoided any conjecture or baseless rumors. If he stays, well and good, if he demands a trade, I’m excited to see players actually interested in representing the silver and black.
I woke up today thinking that it may have been a bigger distraction if he was there. The questions would be so is he ready? What's been going on? Blah blah blah. Either he returns next year or not. For now it's all guess work and out of everyone control here
that will never play..
it's over
Pop should say ask kawhi and his posse
