The truth is painting Kawhi in an awful light. this has helped SA in that regard. Its hurt them though since other teams truly view Kawhi as toxic.
Sad but true.
Well said.
Maybe Simmons can speak freely because he's burned his own bridge with BSPN.

tbh..
He's been given too much credence around here. Seems to me like he is trying too hard to be part of "Kawhi's group" rather than actually be inside it already...
There will be media support for Kawhi obviously for marketing purposes but inside the NBA Circle and owners word has or will spread. Spurs won't go lying down either. That's why you saw Pop make those comments - "his group". Big media outlast online about Uncle Dennis too.
Brandon Ingram a young goat in the making. Kawhi.
I'd dig it up but I'm feeling lazy today, that Polack reporter on ESPN said that GMs around the league had questions about the injury, questions about why he didn't play. You do not want that rep with the people who make the decisions on who plays where and for how much. This was in the context for why the trade offers so far for Leonard have been . While, yes, some of it was simple negotiating, there's a lot of truth to that.
Next step is for Pop to extend the olive branch, indicate that the supermax or some portion thereof, is in play and that he and the franchise are ready to make amends.
Yeah, "unquestionable" top 5 player. So unquestionable that the team that just signed Rajon Rondo and Lance Stephenson to help the squad doesn't think he's worth Kyle F'n Kuzma.
Maybe for Spursfans in spurstalk
No one is saying this in media. Its the spurs that are getting hit big time by PR. When thry get hit by the race card it would be all over.
Nah - there is plenty of media crushing Kawhi for this. , Stephen A Smith called Kawhi out early for his lying and bs.
Exactly. The Spurs can’t afford to slam Kawhi/defend themselves until a deal is done. Kawhi’s rep is already effecting the situation. Before this happened all these team would be pulling the trigger on these proposed/supposed trades and then laughing that they got the deal of the century. The fact that deals have been characterized as the Spurs asking for too much is ing ridiculous.
Cowhered is already starting.
Once more people jump into this, the spurs will have no choice but to trade him.
Having a racist organization in a predominantley Black league is suicide
Tell us what you've heard (or made up about the "done deal"), otherwise, shut the up.
Cowherd is the least respected national media guy for the NBA. He carries no weight.
Bro. Lakers have every right to not play ball with Spurs either. They can keep all their young talent which the Spurs want not just Kyle kuzma but the rest of their assets. Ok "unquestionable top 5" is not true. To me he is top 3 depending on system and coaching but he is obviously top 10. Unless you are hiding under a rock the reason he is not traded yet goes far beyond teams belief in his basketball ability.
Racist?! That’s dumb as and Cowherd doesn’t know -all about basketball.
You think? I got friends that range from Rockets to Thunder fans, even Laker fans thinking Kawhi is a .
Playing the race card might be harmful to the spurs but it doesn't help his trade value. It's not like other own ers and gms care about it, they just see a cancer.
I really don't think this is a good situation. If he just put any of the effort into building his brand that went into haggling to suck magics , hed be in a much better place. Let's face it dude is a gym rat, but an otherwise lazy .
Lebron James is the most outspoken athlete in all of basketball and he staked his claim in PopRacist card won’t work. Sorry Chollie
Stephen A will do what his bosses tell him to do. They will tell him to suck off Kawhi once Kawhi is in a bigger market and he will do it. This man has zero integrity. Just watch the clip below to get a great illustration of this. You will see him hating on the Demarcus Cousins move and then the next day calling out people who are complaining about it.
Great move by the Lakers, worked out real well last time an All-Star small forward wanted to come to LA.
The Lakers and Clippers have the worst trade talent to offer. If Kawhi goes to LA, it’s becacuse the Spurs gave up.
He’s Kawhitter’s chief publicist tbh. Jabari works under his tutelage.
If his group doesn't get what they want they will go the race card route. During the playoffs Jalen Rose who I believe is one of his uncle's mouthpieces attempted to call Pop a racist. Jalen said that Pop using the word group to describe Kawhi's people was racist. Mic e Beadle immediately interrupted him and shot him down before he could go more into detail.
LA taking heat for not going after Cousins so their response was to say that “they want to win now and be as compe ive as possible so they could not wait like GS on a player who won’t be ready to start the year”. They are also telling their fans that “we aren’t in a rush to get Kawhi because we have the clearance to play the long game and we don’t have to rush to win now”.
Ummm......
