    Huh? The Spurs seem to be taking the hit everywhere but on ST. After a few monster games for Philly or the Lakers or whoever next season, the national media will be proclaiming Kawhi a top 5 player and comeback player of the year. And continue to kick dust in the face of the Spurs.
    Sad but true.

    Espn and quite every people that till now has talked about the Kiwhi situation have to be call out in some manner.
    I understand that' probably breaking chances to mend the relationship with uncle dennis, but at some point some of the bull this people is throwing to the Spurs organization has to end...
    Till now the only voice that has said something that could be considered for the Spurs side is Simmons, and his 8/9 doctors thing.
    Imho its obvious that all this has been orchestrated since a long time and the main media, all have an interest to provoke a splitting on the Kiwhi/Spurs relationship.

    The point that has to be made clear is that the Spurs behavior has always been in the sense of protect the player from any kind of dangerous injury (see the fact we decided to sit him in the conference finals just for a sprained anckle) and having confidence in the player's and his group honesty (see the freedom given in consenting them to find other medical opinions and consenting his reabilitation in N.Y.)...
    The other point to make clear is that Kiwhi has became what he was till one year ago in great part because of the Spurs environment, choices and training...and that the relationship with Pop was so good that he is the only person he's still talking with...

    The contradictions coming from the Kawhi's group are many and obvious...its time to let them emerge and to èut out the possible conflict of interest between the player and the sociaty thet's acting for him.
    Well said.

    Maybe Simmons can speak freely because he's burned his own bridge with BSPN.

    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.

    Cris Carter is such a ing got. Why the does anyone care what some washed up football hack has to say about basketball? off you goofy eyed
    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.

    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.

    That’s been my stance the whole time. As f’d up as the whole situation has been, both parties benefit at this point from working things out.
    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.

    It is unquestionable he is top 5 player. The only issue is health and so of course a sign and trade would include a physical and thorough examination of his medical do ents. I'm sure hes worth at least a max contract for 4 years.
    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.

    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.

    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 .

    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.

    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......
