    he who controls the media, controls what they want you to watch, hear..

    dont kill the messenger, did you get the message?

    CC agent is the mutt who has an interest in kawhis circle, so it helps he has a propaganda speaker in the news spreading negative about the spurs since day1 of the fallout, the pos still running his mouth about the spurs today everytime kawhi is mention on tv... besides him and media jocks from LA who spread lies to get the deal done, nobody outside of the LA market was spreading bs propaganda...

    now back to the spurs patfo, they can go eat a

    There is nothing wrong asking for a trade IMO. Is it a great look? No. But it’s not a fatal flaw. If kawhi would have done what LMA did, be a professional and a man and gone directly to Pop/RC and requested a trade in private while continuing to play good solider in front of the media, HE would be viewed differently
    Was/is LMA viewed differently for going to Pop/RC and requesting a trade? Not at all. There were also rumors way before he actually talked to Pop about wanting to be traded and is it turns out, those rumors weren't fabrications like many had previously suggested

    1 mountain cant have 2 tigers
    patfo ed up when they decided to keep this pos happy at the expense of kawhi the player they nurtured and developed, fck patfo

    giving this pos a extension after 1 year at the spurs? just like they did with g asol... at the expense of younger players looking to get paid on the team, only to see you wasted 2 years developing them to leave for another team, repeating the process again every year through the draft, wasting ur franchise player prime years retooling roster...

    if u think about it, all the younger players outside the big3 that was traded or left during the last 5years? assembled is still a better roster then current spurs roster

    Is timvp ever going to tell us what he knows, tbh?

    It must be serious since it was enough for him to say it makes Kawhi look like less of a villain IIRC..
    We will find out on an episode of 30 for 30. Franchises always play to the media that players are the villain but 15-20 years later we always find out its the team’s fault. Happened with vince in Toronto, Zo in Charlotte and Shaq in Orlando. I have patience, but the truth WILL come out. Anyone dumb enough to believe a guy who hasn’t said anything in 6 years decides to wake up one day and be an asshole probably belives in a virgin birthing a healer.

    It's Uncle Dennis bro...he wants to turn Kawhi into the next Lebron...Uncle Dennis has dollar signs in his eyes...his plan is to get Kawhi to a bigger market so he can cash in...everyone knows he has a lot of say in what goes on with Kawhi's career..he could have stepped in and told Kawhi to chill and wait it out until he got paid the super max and then bailed...but Uncle Dennis sees himself as some genius business manager...totally backfired on his dumb ass

    You wish, Kawhi is staying and this franchise traded him for scraps.
    At this point I don't give a . I'm not even from SA and have never lived there. I can say though I have been to both Toronto and LA. My mom's family lives in LA and it's by far superior to Toronto in every metric. He's good as gone. If he stays I'm good as long as he never rings. We'll see what happens.

    with the spurs = his pathway on pace to be goat, maybe top10 when its all sad and done

    with another team = still on pace for top15 or higher depending what team he leads to their first championship with multiple awards and stats ac ulated

    as for the spurs = one of the stupidest deals they ever done in their team history setting them back further...

    knowing lma, ddr are choke artists, which team is going to trade for them besides getting rid of cap

    I go here after each game for media availabilities, both practice and post game interviews: https://www.nba.com/spurs/video/channel/spurs_sound

    So I listened to most everything myself. I read a few, or a billion, articles of course too, but a lot of my recollections come from watching them.

    Here is one a quick Google search turned up that goes to the point though:

    Afterward, Ginobili talked about the lift the Spurs received just from seeing Aldridge show up.
    After the season the Spurs have endured to date – in which the training room has been as crowded as a New York hotspot and "perseverance" has been a daily buzzword – Aldridge's points and rebounds meant less Thursday than his presence.

    "We need him to be there, even if he feels bad," Ginobili said. "He's become so important and we depend on him so much. It's great to see him compete like that, fight through the pain and have a great game."


    https://www.expressnews.com/spurs-na...p-12792920.php

    Be there, show up, fight through pain. Sounds like he's throwing shade to me given their best player was doing the exact opposite of gracing them even with his presence.
    Yeah, I couldn’t remember if I saw it or read it, I just remember Manu doing it. Thanks boss, much appreciated!

    By all accounts, kawhi only loves two things in life: basketball and family. It's weird to imagine him caring about fans, money, celebrity, and his legacy. At some point that made him a classic spur, but it also made him pliant to a bull manuever that saw him miss a playoffs in his prime.

    I don't hate kawhi because it will do no good. Dude is a sociopath, he can't be made to feel shame

    Also lol at being a stupid ass and believing patfo will be humbled if #2 wins another le. That's pretty much what clowns like you are hoping for. Pop is an arrogant prick. I don't see him ever being humbled. If you want to see him suffer go root for team USA to fall short of the gold in 2020. I think that will hurt him more than #2 winning another le somewhere else. It's pretty much the only reason why Pop is still coaching.

    This is factual tbh. Its crazy how people continue to hate on Kawhi. Ever since TIMVP confirmed that Kawhi was indeed a victim, i am slowly but surely starting to enjoy my ex favourite player.

    I dont think ill ever like leonard the same way now that he's an ex-spur, but it just crazy to think the Spurs PATFO wasnt partly to blame

    It's not that weird.Marco wasn't part of the team that Nephew ed last year.

    He probably still remembers #2 from 2014 with joy and hapiness.

    If you're not part of the locker room that suffered for a whole year with "Is he okay?","Where is he?"."Will he be back?","Why isn't he on the bench?" you can't really get what happened.

    I mean its weird because he probably knows some of those guys in the lockeroom hate kawhi

    He knows the ownership and PATFO hate him.

    so pretty ballsy for Marco to show appreciation to Spurs Public enemy 1..

    With a Klaw sign too

    In what way though do you expect they were to blame? We've already heard TP's comments were the 'last straw' (which is absurd). so I wonder what the PATFO is said to have done. They didn't acquiesce enough to the player they paid $20 million to? They had the gall to want to observe how his progress was going? Looks to me like they coddled him and let him do whatever he and his uncle wanted. Pop was very kind in his statements after Kawhi was gone. I mean it's hard to see what more the PATFO could have done for him, other than to just offer him the max without having a clue about his rehabilitation...

    Tbh Ownership and some people from PATFO definitely hate Nephew and even more than him,hate the Unkle.

    For the teammates i wouldn't call it hate.It would be more like huge disappointment and frustration.

    The employer/employee relationship is nothing like the brotherhood of the locker room.One part feels like he hurt the business the other part feel like they got betrayed from a family member.

    So for Marco,he's a family member that didn't betray him.

    My guess is that it's something contract-related, I can't really picture anything else..

    Either they were reluctant on the supermax due to injury concerns, maybe wanted him to prove his health on a shorter deal, maybe they wanted him to take less to help the team's future, something of that nature..

    I really hope that isn't the case, though..the team that bid against themselves for Patty Mills at 12:01 and got finessed by Pau Gasol should have offered Kawhi all the money and all the years, including giving Uncle Dennis an ownership stake..

    No, I wanted that, when we had a real number one, LA wouldn't have pouted for getting less touches than him. I want to know that, if we ever get another real number one, LA would be cool with becoming a second option without asking out.
    Probably not. He didn't like playing next to Lillard and left the Blazers in free agency as soon as possible. He joined the Spurs in 2015 thinking he'd be the alpha and was upset that Leonard's ascent into supers om pushed him into sidekick status. Didn't enjoy being 2nd option to Kawhi and asked to be traded.

    Went for a system player narrative to a Micheal Jordan Narrative.

    He's no different than he was in 2016 as a player tbh. Toronto PR really helping kawhi improve his brand.

    I love the spurs but they really didnt do a good job of promoting Kawhi.
    Instead, they put him in corny HEB commercials making him look like a re .

    You want to know what players felt about what Load Management did to them? Watch the Danny Green video online where Rudy Gay sits with him before our game this year. It's clear as day what Gay thinks of Nephew. He doesn't like him. End od story. If there's anyone that you shouldn't be celebrating, it's that braided ass punk that stole $19M
    Why should anybody give a about Rudy Gay's opinion? He's a career loser. He thinks highly of choke-artist/cancer Demar Derozan. That says enough about his evaluation of other players. Seems to love inefficient chuckers like himself. Maybe they can wrangle Carmelo on the team and make San Antonio the home of every unwanted player in the league.
