Dumb
same with Manu and some of his tier Argie teammates
Sorry, you don't get to sit out a season and make demands. At least you shouldn't get to. If he sat out for bargaining power, I think he might have lost it. We'll see.
If I was going to sign him, he'd have to agree to a pay cut if he ditched the team doctors and went on his own for more than a couple weeks. I don't get the "status" thing. He's got a finals MVP like AI and a couple DPOY awards like Marcus Camby. What ing status? He's not Durant level, and he the entire season away. That really took a hot wet piss on his status.
He'll get paid, but he won't ever have the status he thinks he should, if he indeed thinks that. It's like someone demanding you call them by a manufactured nickname. Odds are, just by demanding it, you're going to avoid calling them that.
If he's really using that angle, I hope he gets traded.

I believe it, I believe Kawhi wanted Dedmon over Pau. Wouldn't you? Especially Kawhi, who burned himself last year playing Defense and Offense not being able to take a break on D like Harden and others. Pau offers zero perimeter defense, with Dedmon leving Kawhi has to work that much harder.
Imagine; DJ, Kawhi, Rudy, LA, and Dedmon. Damn, that would have been an unbelievable team.
LA is still around to defend the paint.
It’s all those useless midgets around the perimeter that makes Kawhi’s life harder on D.
I'm not buying it.
Who woulda thought....
False equivalence. Occasionally having family on team flights =/= infesting the organization and roster with your hangers on.
The elephant in the room is still whether he can play a whole season healthy again. Players who miss entire seasons from nagging injuries that don't require surgery but never seem to heal, are often done.
Another thing to consider with Leonard is that his game requires elite athleticism to be effective. Tim Duncan could play great with a bad knee because of his style of play. But if Leonard comes back at 80-90% athleticism he will not be a max-type player.
Absolutely.. I feel like the media keeps making up stuff but his lack of health is the elephant in the room.
Kawhitter’s uncle wants to be gm smh........
It’s david Aldridge not LMA
We’re relying on David Aldridge’s “sense”? Really? A guess which isn’t even educated? From a so-called “analyst” whose success rate predicting free agent destinations and game outcomes is wonky at best? A mere sports writer whose connections or sources aren’t well-do ented? A guy who never played and never worked for an NBA front office? This is what the NBA community takes for rumors and blows up into a narrative. I don’t wonder how many people get faked thinking certain players sign with the teams the media hope for them to sign with.
Kawhi Ball
Wrong read by Aldridge imo. It’s not Kawhi’s personality to demand leeway. He does not want to be the face of the franchise, just wants to play hard per his mom. Fire your uncle Kawhi. He is misrepresenting you.
Sounds like other stupid article about Spurs-Kawhi offseason saga.
It's funny how these guys are reporting based on many different rumors...No one rumor/article says the same that other, no one is similar to other...They're desperate to have a story.
when you have a superstar and top 5 all-time, or a top 3 in the current league, yes. try to do without any of that and you maybe make the playoffs
The leeway isn't for him but for uncle Dennis
Defending the paint is not the issue, I agree. Pau is one of the best at that. But like you said it's those midgets that can't defend the perimeter. Dedmon, does that pretty good. Actually DJ, Kawhi, and Dedmon are some of the best at it and if two of them can shoot the three. Instead of the one we had this year, Pop won't be forced to play those midgets to add a much needed 3 point shooting.
How about he actually guarantees us something. Like in an upcoming season that he was predicted by many to be the league MVP, he actually you know plays basketball.
This is all fake news. WWE, All My Children, Jersey Shore level fabricated soap opera. Leonard has a degenerative disease of his tendon and the Spurs are trying to figure out their best course of action considering their transcendent superstar is done.
Only idiots predicted his mvp. Hes worse than westbrook
