This stance is so weak. Kawhi could have and still can set the record straight, but he hasn’t. Which tells me he wants out and is trying to hide behind made up reasons
kawhi fans need to quit defending, because it just sounds rediculous.
It's not the Spurs overplaying their hand it's Kawhi.
Dude lost a $20 million shoe deal, now might lose $80 million from Supermax. So potentially $100 Million in the hole, and if he gets injured again next year might lose that next max contract.

The report is he feels betrayed, and I don't blame him. Instead of supporting him through his recovery PATFO put out media hit pieces to question his credibility. As has been said before, Kawhi is big on trust, so why would he want to play for an organization that doesn't trust him?
Nothing Manu and Parker said was offensive in my eyes. The media just made it comes across as bad simply because they want Kawhi in a big market. Notice once Jax called out Manu and Tony for what they said the media followed along despite not acknowledging how Jax has beef with the spurs going back to '13. It's obvious Jax has an axe to grind with those 2 simply because he's jealous of how they got to play their whole entire careers with Duncan. Anyways if Kawhi was actually offended by what those 2 had to say he should not have gone into hiding but let them know to their faces that they disrespected him.
FIFY there you go.
What a load of crap. Woj reported Leonard has been using his own doctors since August.

I think the hurt Leonard and his family is feeling is not from the media but the fans.
Wrong he put his credibility on the line when his camp leaked he wanted to come back in March. Then in his March media scrum he said he was coming back soon. The season starts to turn bad for the Spurs, players ask him when are you coming back, you keep telling the media you are coming back but not us, Kawhi has no answer and bolts to New York.
You can argue that maybe there was some passive aggressive remarks made to the media, so his response is he want's to go to LA where the media is like piranhas and be 100x worse then some passive aggressive remarks made from Tony Parker.
Don't trade him . Sit his ass out and then see which teams are willing to offer a max contract to a guy that spent two straight seasons on the sidelines.
That will teach these entailed little es not to with franchises, specially small market ones.
You're delusional. Kawhi had a setback in his return, it happens.
stick to povertyball
That's game changing if true.
Kawhi, tbh.
Unless he stays. If he stays, I love him.
What I said is 100% accurate. The guy screwed up his shoe deal, now he is screwing up his chance at the Supermax.
Just because LA wants an iso heavy offense doesn’t mean Kawhitter doesn’t as well.
This writer's research was very poor, he clearly hasn't followed the timeline of events..
I've been anti-Pop for years(for basketball reasons, not because I'm a Trump like some of the posters in this thread), but I think people are over-analyzing this situation..
Kawhi wants the supermax and/or wants to play in LA and his uncle and his team want him to play in LA..there's nothing more to it, everything points to that..all this about misdiagnosis or not liking the roster is silly and agenda-based..it's about money and/or location..
Their team only has 1 client IIRC, it's Kawhi, that's where their livelihood comes from..getting the supermax is probably the main goal, but playing in LA and reviving the pathetic Lakers is the goldmine on the other side.
The greatest guard in spur history can say whatever the he wants to millennial pussies on the team, he's earned that right by winning the team rings, multiple, with his contributions over a decade and a half and not just coattailing to a ring as the 4th best player on a le team![]()
Making up, you should go eff yourself.![]()
Agree on all of this
porky rode Duncan's coattails for years. Tim has 7 or 8 if he had a real PG by his side.
Proof? And he'll get an even better shoe deal in LA or NY.
Robby D sure is y today. We know Mexico won brah but it’s time to get down from that cloud.
Kiwi may have developed into a top 10 player but in 2014 playoffs he wasn't even a top two scorer in that postseason run, couldn't have chip in 2 assists a game. he was riding coattails to the only time the Spurs have won anything worth a in his time on the team
Parker is on this team's mt rushmore he can say whatever he wants to anyone but Tim all time, let alone players who quit on the franchise despite PATFO incompetence![]()
