Oohit burns, so bad tweet
By having their doctors clear him? Kawhi has been gone for months now. I don't buy this crap that they lost him this week and that he was ready to sign a deal here.
I think Kawhi and Uncle Dennis are now purposefully trying to do as much damage to the Spurs reputation and Popovich on the way out of here. The sooner they get rid of this guy the better, as it is way overdue by now.
The Spurs cannot hold onto him after the draft and all the way through the deadline, yet they also will not panic and take a ty deal.
I want them to do whats in their best interest at this point and also not accomodate him and that piece of Uncle Dennis.
Kawhi's camp is trying desperately to justify wanting to leave. Anything Pop, Manu, or Tony has said has been provoked, yet Kawhi lovers are trying to spin it as the first shots fired.
His fanboys are just a bunch of snowflakes. If Kawhi really was offended by what those guys said then he should have been a man and just confronted them about it instead of going into hiding.
I think they can hold onto him as long as it takes to get a good offer. I'd dismiss him from the team if he still isn't traded by training camp though. I'd lose him for nothing rather than give him to Boston or LA for peanuts. I'd take the gamble it wouldn't come to that since it would mean Leonard taking a huge paycut to sign with a team in summer 2019 though.
And the Spurs has every reason and right to say that there is a long way from the offer of $219 contract! Kawhi not playing is not an assurance at all since it is all speculation now when he was truly healthy. Them not allowing Kawhi to talk to Popovich does not help either. They need to show that they are fully commited to the team.
Again Kawhi turned downed $20 million shoe deal and now wont sit down and try to get Supermax which will lose him another guaranteed $80 million.
He is $100 million in the hole and might end up in basketball purgatory for a year with a high chance of losing even more if he gets hurt(or just hasn't healed).
Spurs on the other hand in an injured filled season are 7th seed in the west, and can either get a few pieces for Kawhi which will move them back to top 4 in West. Or go full rebuild and in 2 or 3 years be built to contend for future like Boston.
No kidding. I am having a hard time understanding "his camp's" position. Uncle dennis seems to be riding that train right into the ditch.
Why does Kawhi have to have a camp speak for him?
He's betting big on the future. He believes Kawhi is there behind LeBron as the best player in the NBA if not THE best player in the NBA above Lebron, because of how he played him before in the Finals.
I think now this is also a "scorched earth" campaign by Uncle Dennis against the Spurs organization, on the way out, to make them pay for these percieved slights in through the media lately.
I also think now Kawhi had no intentions of ever staying here in San Antonio and was going to move on anyways. This just makes it easier for them.
Because he is autistic??
Good question. My assumption is he just isn't man enough to take charge of his situation and would rather leave it to the poor PR skills of his uncle to get what he wants. I really don't care if he wants to go to LA or anywhere else.. Just say so and let everyone get on their merry way and start the process. Instead uncle dennis is doing a very piss poor job of trying to drag the organization through the mud in order to justify what they ultimately want to do.
I do believe they would want to stay for the full supermax, but my guess is that is off the table because of quad issue and the hold out for the second half of the season.
Because he went with a dumb agent who doesn't prioritize repeat business. Kawhi also had abandonment issues
Because he feels he owes Uncle Dennis. He is family. From that Ramona Shelburne article Uncle Dennis has other business ventures that aren't going as planned or they are trying to get them off the ground.
ALso, the guy has proven to be a head case and I'm sure he is home sick and they're helping him to go back home. Ask yourself too, would he be able to pull all of this crap with a regular player agent? Probably not, so Uncle Dennis is family and can help. them both. I can't wait for them to be gone from the Spurs.
Well, his camp was very clear that they will sign an extension in last weeks.
The Spurs, not Woj.
The team lost the opportunity to meet Kawhi after that Woj's article. But at this point, I guess that is exactly what the Spurs really wanted it, otherwise I don't get why they handled this that bad.
Sperms aren't as classy as people think
How do you think that pro players negotiate their contracts? Do you think they talk with the teams? Don't be naive, every player has his own guys.
I guess for you words speak louder than action?
Eh, is it a good idea to sign Kawhi for the next 5 years. His uncle has some crazy ideas. He sat Kawhi out a whole year that could have been a le run. A year that will take away his stats that go towards his career accomplishments. How do we know he won't do more crazy stuff over the next five years? I'm comfortable with trading him even though I enjoy watching him play as a Spur.
Agree. I will not lose any sleep if Kawhi gets shipped out.
