Bigger market? Could be since his camp didn't get the supermax. But superteam??? Where's that superteam?
1-Sacramento and Suns GMs are that stupid to believe they can convince Kawhi to stay after one year.Neither of these will send top picks for a one year rental. Players get their wish about where to go, especially stars. He'll lose money though, that's for sure.
2-Cousins wanted to go to NO? PG13 to OKC? No.
Nah.Yet.
It's not july yet.Bigger market? Could be since his camp didn't get the supermax. But superteam??? Where's that superteam?
Would be great to think so but it's a naive hope at best.Besides, how could they be sure he won't fake another injury and not play at all? Once a snake always a snake.
Of course they didn't, but Sac and Indiana got 30 cents on the $ in these trades. Sure, Oladipo had a great season but at the time of the deal he was an average overpaid player.

It doesn't change the fact that players don't go or sign wherever they want/wish like you say.
Anyway..I tend to doubt about fans' narratives when it's only one side's fault.
Kawhi's camp is very unprofessional but if we can't admit the Spurs could manage this better...We're blind.
His camp are stupid greedy newbies but I expected more from the Spurs,
The team could try to appease things instead of burning all during the regular season.
I get they got frustrated but they're the best sport organization in world, they shouldn't let frustration make them say the wrong things or make mistakes in public.
1- Jabari is an idiot
2- in this case, he is absolutely right
Also, we can't act like Young is he only media guy saying these things.
I guess this is the part of Pop about old school way, who knows but it seems like he should adapt at least a bit to these new times...
PG13 imo
Yeah they should definitely suspend him for the season if he threatens to not sign elsewhere thus torpedoing the Spurs chance to get what they're looking for in trade. It's not like that piece of 's agent is anyone to worry about pissing off since no one else is represented by him.
They already have money for two Max's. They could package Lonzo and Deng together to open up even more room.
a top 5 player wanting the supermax is too much to ask for?? wtf?
Knowing how Magic & Jeanie do business, I wouldn't put it past them to offer a small stake in the organization and other investment opportunities to make up the money lost.
Yeah, Kawhi’s personality keeps him from being marketable. I mean HEB can use comic relief to portray him as a dumb mute, but that doesn’t work for Nike.
Once you factor in cap holds they'd have to shed roughly $3 million in salary to open up a max slot for Paul George after signing LeBron to a max deal, with their only players under contract being Deng, Ball, Ingram, Kuzma, and Hart. They have team options they'd have to decline on everyone else on the roster. If they're going for CP3 after signing LeBron they'd need to shed about $8 million in salary.
Pop should get some blame here for his role in creating this mess. The organization made a conscious choice to alienate their star player and now we are faced with losing one of the best players in the league. I’m not saying Kawhi doesn’t deserve some blame but this is a stars league so you do what’s necessary to keep them happy.
Also, those of you attributing Kawhi’s silence to some mental issue is way off base.. Kawhi seems pretty smart to me and I do think he was hurt by some of the comments made. Put yourself in his shoes. How would you feel if Pop didn’t believe you were injured especially after seeing you put in work all these years.
Jabbari giving his views
If the Spurs somehow get Michael Porter out of this, it could all work out for the best.
Honestly at this point I just think there's too big of a generational difference between Pop and his players. Being 70 years old and trying to work with a 26 year old. I can't even ing imagine. Pop is an old school guy and Kawhi (despite all of our hopes of him being Tim Duncan 2.0) is not.
no need to panic
Buncha drama queens,uggh,as if I needed a reminder why I hate the rest of the NBA
Jabari Young sounds like he should be trying to sweet talk you into buying more heroin,wtf passes for professional journalism these days
Moron can't even speak correct,ignorant fools have no pride in learning how to conduct themselves,this isn't the Corner lmfao
Black folks and the never ending quest to be cool FTW!
That was “Black Folks” trying to be cool. Lol Dude you either are ignorant to the culture or you are just seeking any attention. Either way, get yourself together.
Pops only mistake was trusting that winning was important to drama queens. If Kawhi wants to play in LA, fine. But don’t make up some dumb excuse about the Spurs betraying you and making you feel you have to go. That’s some BS.
According to Twitters, this got Jabari referred to Kawhi and his group as "we" in an interview with Greg Anthony.
Can anyone confirm?
WTF are you on about moron? Maybe a distinct lack of culture lmfao
Jabari's interview is in this vid I posted earlier in the thread. Didnt hear a "we" but I could only sit through it once.
