The least he could do is sit on the bench. Smh
Certainly my takeaway. PATFO likely trading this fool even if he wanted to stay.

Find a Clipper board. Assuming enough people care about the clips.Poop is truly desperate to never answer a basketball-related question himself, tbh.
Pau said they haven't seen him for weeks (i.e since players-only meeting). He has 19 millions in the bank (just for this washed out season). It wouldn't cost him to 100k to fly that rehab team to Oakland/SA for a week- 10 days..
is so transparent: he's quit or made to quit.
I have very little confidence the Spurs will get anything of real value for Kawhi even if he did demand a trade. The Spurs should just let him sit out next season if he doesn't want to play for the Spurs and tank for a lottery pick.
Yeah, I would guess even Tatum would be off the table.
Think Jaylen Brown + Kings pick is the best they could get, and even then Boston would have to be completely convinced that he is (a) resigning and (b) he will hold up health-wise (good luck with that since nothing is coming up in the scan and yet this dude continues to complain of pain) ..
I know imagine a year ago when Spurs fan refused to trade him for Lebron..
A year ago Phil offered Porzingis for him. We could have had Porzingis for this dumb mute had he made it clear earlier that he didn't want to be a Spur.Yeah, I would guess even Tatum would be off the table.

When the season’s over and Leonard moves to wherever I hope the Spurs players open up about the bull this guy pulled. Too bad the Spurs can’t sue this chump for $19 million in breach of contract.

Part of the problem here is that nobody really knows if he's faking an injury or if he's still in pain. Nobody knows if Kawhi's situation is chronic or not and he hasn't been able to prove himself on the court. Why would any team give the Spurs their best young prospects/draft picks for what could be damaged goods and when they could have him for nothing in 2019? (Isaiah Thomas anyone?)?
If all Boston offers is that, I’ll take Harris from Clippers and their two late lotto picks THIS year in a much stronger draft. Ainge can cheap out and miss out.Yeah, I would guess even Tatum would be off the table.

Yep, and if you think about it, neither side of that coin should sound promising for prospective GMs.

If he's injured with such a strange and debilitating condition so as to miss a season when the very respected Spurs doctors cleared him...
Nor
He was cleared and capable of playing, yet sat out anyway because somebody hurt his feelers. And if he did it against one of the best coaches and organizations in the business when he was on the cusp of getting a supermax offer, why wouldn't he do it on the next team? And for the team that made him into what he's become, no less.
I still don't think Boston wants to may horford, kyrie, Kawhi, and Hayward. That will be 3 max contracts plus a $27M guy. If they come after Kawhi they are going to want to move horford or Hayward, either to us or in a separate deal.
Pretty much sums it up..
Dude nuked his value in 9 months..
I don’t know, elite injured and emotionally unstable players still end up getting top dollar in free agency. Think about Embid and Kyre most recently. I also think Cousins will get paid this summer. Good players do, which is why the spurs will end up offering the designated player salary too.
He's a free agent in 2019. It still doesn't stand to reason why any team would give up their best young talent/draft picks when they could have him for nothing in the following offseason.
Pop did the same thing in the New Orleans game, playing the starters light minutes and giving the bench big minutes.
I thought maybe Pop was resting his starters for Game 1.
Now after Game 1, I wonder which game he's saving his main guys for. If not Monday, it may be never.
Goddamit man this whole situation sucks! We're about to lose a top 3 player because.... why?
Fair point, but consider that for some teams like Boston and maybe Clippers a trade might be the only way they can nab his bird rights, which would allow them to exceed the cap to resign him.
Twitter would like you to see this.
The players seem to always get their way in these situations. I still have no idea why that idiot Gilbert traded away Kyrie when Kyrie had no leverage with 2 years to go? I would make Leonard play it out next year. He wants that big money deal, and he has no choice. But if he is that unhappy they probably let him go. To me whatever deal they get will be a bad one, since he destroyed his value this season. Soft, quitter, head case, etc.
I wonder if Kawhi would consider playing in the Summer League if that might be in his (or the Spurs') interest at some point . . .
Here comes the camp leak after last night storm..
The odds of signing him in free agency is one in twenty-nine (taking the spurs out of the mix). Those chances greatly increase when you already have him on your team. Look at OKC. They rolled the dice on trading for PG knowing the rumors that he wanted to go to LA. There will be a team willing to roll the dice for the chance that he'll extend there. Even with his baggage he's a talent than PG.
I was about to the say the same thing but you beat me to it.
