***OFFICIAL KAWHI RELATED NEWS Thread***

[HarlemHeat37]

that's stupid. if he quit because of some words from TP...

It's certainly sensitive, but why did Parker have to say what he said? It was completely unnecessary..

[therealtruth]

I think it just shows that the Spurs were using Kawhi wrong like in 2015 against the Clippers.

[GreekSpursfan]

People still fall for RD2191's attempts to mess with their mind and feelings about a certain player. I got to give it up for RD2191.

[TheSpurglar]

It's certainly sensitive, but why did Parker have to say what he said? It was completely unnecessary..

Agreed. But wouldn't you also agree that demanding a trade to LA, when you still have a year left on your contract and know it'll impact your trade value, is also completely unnecessary? Not to mention actually harmful, unlike what Tony said.

[JeffDuncan]

People, people. Relax. Much ado about nothing. We still have Wombat!

Lol Ive been saying this for years.

[Clipper Nation]

Porker fluffers just don't want to face facts. Their guy is the reason why Duncan and Manu have less rings than they should, and he's the reason why Kawhi left the Spurs. He's the French version of Kobe.

[LkrFan]

Also, the regret of Lakerfans for not trading their ty players for Kawhi when they had the chance.

Don't even try it. Short of trading Prime Shaq, Pop was NOT trading with the Lakers.

Sure, I've been very anti-Kawhi in regards to what he did..doesn't mean I can't criticize Parker for his poor leadership, though..

[GreekSpursfan]

Who would disagree that Jimmy Butler is far better than DeRozan?

I'm not a fan, but at least he's tough and you know he can give you other things when his scoring is off..

He's injury prone which Demar isn't and there is the locker room issue, so these two things alone make him just better not far better. Both can't lead a team, they are not cornerstone players. So some people based on those two things might disagree with us.

Let me tell you a story about Rob Diaz...

He is participating in online forums both here and in RealGM,for the past 7 years,posting frequently,as a Spurs fan.
Going to war in the other forum against people talking down about the Spurs,trolling other people to the point of being warned with permanent ban over there.

While he's carrying the Spurs colors and banner with pride,one unmemorable morning of last year,one Kawhi Leonard decides to ask for a trade from the Spurs.
The one who will forever be known as Nephew is eventually traded to the Toronto Raptors.

One Rob Diaz,this wonderful gentleman,puts down his Spurs Banner at that forum,changes his colors to the Raptors red and goes on very naturally to participate in the Raptor Forum over there as a long time Raptors Fan.

So...yeah... Don't worry about Rob.He's just trolling,don't feed the troll man.

[objective]

Should have sat Kawhi for the whole season instead of paying Toronto to take him

His playoffs performance this year is everything you need to know that his injury was fake and he could have played last year, he just quit and the Spurs let him do it like the pushovers they are

The guy averaged 4 steals a game in his last 3 games as a spur while leading the team in advanced stats on the season

He wasn't hurt even close to that bad. There's probably still people who believe that he has bones growing inside his quads like a mutant and might never play again after this year, :

[LkrFan]

This can't be true:

1) Traded away your franchise player just as he enters his prime...

2) ...for Dumbar DeFrozen

3) No OG in return

4) No Siakam in return

5) And you PAID $5 milli rocks!?!?

Pop is the Kwame Brown of GMs

[kobyz]

Kawhi Leonard has offered me as a Spurs fan,less joy than heartbreak from 2015 to 2018,basically from when he exploded as the new #1 option in offense,as the new Spurs system personified till the moment he requested to be traded.

Kawhi Leonard has offered me a round 1 exit in 2015 when Matt Barnes has his balls and in Kawhi's face and he was slapping him around in gm7 in LA.
Kawhi Leonard has offered me a round 2 exit in 2016 when Andre Roberson imposed his will on Kawhi's ass when at the same time KD was dropping 40 on the Spurs.

Kawhi Leonard broke down in 2017 (Not just cause of Zaza but cause of his injured,inflamed quad) while having an amazing playoff run and the team went fishing as soon as he went down.

Kawhi Leonard ed the whole franchise in the ass in 2018,stole about 20million $ and he was then sent to Canada.

So,no sir,i am not missing Kawhi Leonard.Is he a great player? He is. Is he a ? He most certainly is.

I thank him for his effort in 2014 and that's it.And he was rewarded in riches for what he did in 2014.

Apart from that, Kawhi.

2015-2018 is all pop fault, pop stop carring about the team and winning, kawhi recognize it and one of the reason he wanted out of this ed up situation...

B-But Poeltl.... WHAT ABOUT POELTL?

[LkrFan]

B-But Poeltl.... WHAT ABOUT POELTL?

Wh?

[BillMc]

Blame Pop? Maybe, but the most blame goes to Tony Parker..there was still hope for reconciliation before he questioned Kawhi's manhood .

Kawhi was headed to California. No matter what. Whether the divorce could have been handled better by either side is almost immaterial. The divorce was still happening.

[rasuo214]

Philly might be regretting not trading Simmons for Kawhi. Imagine Kawhi + Butler + Embiid.

[offset formation]

Kawhi ting on ST once again, ST no need to be bitter about kawhi! it's okay to face reality and realized how pop ed up everything, and then trading away kawhi which is unforgivable, he lost us kawhi and it's a crying for the ages but still, denial is not the answer!

I'm not sure if you're just dumb or ignorant.

[Twisted_Dawg]

I’ve been watching this 76ers vs raptors series pretty closely, Ben Simmons and Embiid are frauds, unbelievably overrated. Only reason 76ers have had a chance is because of butler and Harris

I've been watching also, and since the series doesn't affect the Spurs, I can watch more objectively with no emotion. All I can say is both teams, particularly Philly, has several low basketball IQ players making stupid turnovers, bad shot selection and playing hero ball.

[Twisted_Dawg]

Same with Boston.
