Kawhi, LMA, Simmons, Dedmon, West, Lee, possibly Kyle Anderson and the beat goes on..... Yeah, good luck attracting new Free agent/All-stars when you can't even keep the one's you have happy.
So everyone is doing an anti-PATFO schtick now?
Micheal wright, zach lowe etc doing an anti PATFO schtick now?
Many times over its been said that some excess believe part of the reason why Kawhi no longer wants to play for San Antonio is their lack of treatment of superstars.
It should be common belief now.

Are those players all autistic?
Do you know who that person in management was and what the nature of the comments were? Were they about Kawhi the basketball player or the person? Did someone call him a weird, mute re or an autist?
Crazy, if true. You’d figure that the organization would have stepped in before it was too late. That they didn’t suggests there was some underlying issue.
So happy he is not in SA anymore, he is a mute why would be angry about some person? all excuses, never saw a player sit a whole year because of feelings, there was Kobe/Shaq drama, Deron Williams making Jerry Sloan cry, Magic requesting a trade because of Paul Westhead and nobody sat a whole season.
Spurs dont need cancers.
I feel like I'm missing something. How is this comment anti-Spurs?
Probably asked if he could wipe his own ass yet last year.
You need more than a greedy uncle to things escalate.
I wonder what PAFTO did when they knew the issue. I also wonder what happened to this Spurs' guy who was that stupid to make the superstar on his team and franchise player feel disrespected.
I wouldn't expect that guy's still working for the Spurs but...he is, right?
How do you treat a modern star? Please use an example of a team or organization who treats their “modern star” the right way and how it’s different than the Spurs.
Oh and please be specific since you know how it’s done...
And Leonard has all this....? FOHB-b-but the PATFO is the gold standard in professional sports.
It's going to take years, not months to repair their reputation. This was never a Kawhi problem but an organizational one. RC and Pop don't have the Stomaches to deal with today's American athletes. The NBA isn't about culture, it's about personality, expression, heroism and entertainment, all of which the PATFO tries to stifle with their domineering and Autocratic ways. The quicker the Spurs realize and understand this, the quicker the healing process can begin.
So you like divas now?
Man you sure change your mind a lot.
Sorry, the way Lowe phrased it. You could tell he wanted to say the Spurs were "arrogant" in their way of thinking. He's said as much the last few weeks.
Bottom line, the FO isn't blameless here. Their biggest mistake is thinking that they had another Tim Duncan in Kawhi.
What they failed to realize is that they instead had one of the biggest divas in sports with obvious mental issues tbh.
I wonder if there's going to be a reunion of former Spur active players in a northeastern borough in 2019. Rewatching old game film of these disruptive, freerunning dudes, damn did they have chemistry. Lee might even un-retire.
What ing personality and expression does Kawhi have? This is so devoid of logic.B-b-but the PATFO is the gold standard in professional sports.

Just in case, the Spurs are still the best organization in sport world.
But I've said before, they couldn't handle very well some situations.
Dedmon only RT an article where a guy put his defensive stats and said how the team looked better with him...We all posted here he deserved more playing time...Suddenly his minutes decreased and he was on other team last season.
I know Pop is tired and getting old but if these players' issues would have happened 7-8 years ago, I'm sure Kawhi and Dedmon are still on the team.
That Pop would would have fought like a lion against an unknown/greedy uncle to avoid a trade/to keep a top 5 player on the Spurs. And Pop would have won.

Talk to people how? You don't even know what was said?
I would love someone to explain how to treat a “modern star” name the player and organization...
Let’s compare what you know to what you also know how Spurs treated Kawhi...
Let’s lay it all on the table...
The Spurs were getting worse and worse with him on and the Spurs had to try way harder just to get a win. That er didn't even do in the playoffs and Pau owns the ing rockets. Tell me otherwise.
Neither present nor past Pop would try to break up a family.
Poop was cracking the whip during practice..so stifling..
It is funny coming from someone who was ting on most of these players as some "scrubs" or guys who wouldn't move the needle and now you're switching to pathetic arguments about a Spurs environment not conducive "entertainment" and "heroism" as the reason for them asking out or let go....
Strip clubs mainly....
What was the better option to how they handled it?
