of all the teams The spurs are probably the most intense enviroment. It's well coached and well run, but having to maintain a playoffs run with falling talent is draining. I could see Kawhi wanting out from that to a lower pressure situation. But kyle too might be affected but having to meet those standards. He was told to change his game from PG to PF defender, and then with kawhi being out, suddenly had an opening for a new position. Memphis will probably let him do whatever and we'll see if he can connect the dots with a team that isn't as pressured to make the playoffs

Guys like parker and Manu adjusted to the pressure but KAwhi obviously did not.

I think Leonard is conflicted. He and his Uncke think he wants more prominence but in truth his personality seeks anonymity. I think problem began when Duncan retired land pressure was on him to step up leadership-wise.

Interesting opinions about Leonard...

What does making the correct, textbook play have to do with anything when you cannot be played vs. Warriors or the Rockets?

Is getting to the 1st or 2nd round good enough for you? Because Kyle can help us get there. Just can't help us get past there, as evidenced to Pop bailing on him and inserting Rudy by game 2.

Spurs have the worst season in 2 decades once Fathead takes a permanent role as a starter. Hmmm.

They have invested 3 seasons in Kyle and he has turned into a good professional, solid rotation player. Well adapted to the system, able of playing good minutes in his role vs elite teams. And the contract offered is not bad per se.
On the other hand, PATFO is in the middle of a key offseason and flexibility is really needed. On the court, Anderson is a very particular player, offensively he's not an easy fit. On the books, the 4-year deal and trade kicker would limit short-term and mid-term movements.

Like any other this summer, this decision is another subplot in Leonard's soap opera. It's hard to assess single operations until the roster is completed and the club reveals the plan for the season.

Yep, I have been wondering how and how much the Kawhi-sis impacted PATFO's decision on Tony, and how much it will impact PATFO's decision on Kyle. The team is in a serious bind in the front court. If they let Kyle go, it is an indication that they think 1 of 2 things. Either Kawhi is likely to return, or they will get a decent SF in return. Even so, the departure of both Kawhi and Kyle points to the return on Kawhi including front court players not back court players (Philly?).

Some say that's when the beautiful game with 3 pointers barrages died.

The thing is, Kyle is great, advanced stats and all. But I think from a basketball player’s perspective, he doesn’t pass the eye test. He slows down the offense and is too worried about making the right play. He doesn’t have the burst of an NBA guy. He’ll probably benefit from the Grizz offense with a lot of bigs. Best of luck to him.

I do wonder, if kyle goes to Memphis, will several posters delete their account because they no lo longer have a reason to post?

Deadline was noon right? I'm indifferent here. I do like blossomgame too. Danny is really more a natural 3 than 2 guard considering his dribbling ducks. Derrick White should be our 2 guard this year.
