How the Spurs overplayed their hand and alienated Kawhi Leonard

[Marcus Bryant]

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.

Basically. Unless your relative is very good at what they do, one shouldn't get them involved in one's business.

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.

Indeed.

Kawhi didn't ask for the torch. Tbh fwiw imo. And for what it's worth, I see Kawhi as more of a Pippen than a Jordan.

he wants supermax he better get torch!

TP opens his mouth and screws things up again as he has in the past. "I don't know why they keep leaving DG open."
