    Ginobili for anyone wondering played a bigger part in Kawhis departure than Tony tbh.

    He was far more vocal in his disblief about Kawhis injury and was the leader of the lockeroom scene that wanted Kawhi to play regardless of how he felt about his injury.

    Why do they feel it's not worth the consequences? Who does the real story hurt more? Kawhi or Spurs FO ? Or both equally?

    The Spurs were clearly partly to blame. They treated the best player in the world like hes tobias harris or something
    Pop threw him the keys and made him the face of the franchise. This dude is en led.

    Obviously you won't reveal those 4-5 people and I don't blame you for keeping it secret. The fact ESPN doesn't want to mention those 4-5 people makes me believe that #2 was more at fault since ESPN is all about protecting NBA superstar's reputations. They gain more by releasing the truth if it destroys the Spurs more so than if it destroys #2's rep. I remember hearing how ESPN was doing a story on how Magic treated Laker employees like and then stopping the story from being released simply because the league told them not to release it.
    You completely misread his post he said 4-5 guys the media doesn't really mention. The most common names brought up are pop, kawhi, and TP. If i were to guess it would be a few people on coaching staff/ front office and maybe a player or two.

    And Manu was right. No surgery, you have been rehabbing for 1 year. Get back out there, and play already. He sat out all season. You better be getting surgery for that length of time..

    How so? Because they expected him to play. What is your job? Do they expect you to work?

    Actually the main people talked about in the media regarding kawhi/ Spurs drama were

    1) Kahwi
    2) Uncle Dennis
    3) Pop
    4) tony parker
    5) Ginobilli
    6 ) Danny green
    7) Spurs medical staff

    Manu wasnt right or wrong. He was merely a compe or.

    The Organization was in the wrong for making Manu, Tony and the rest of players think that Kawhi was fine and it was just a matter of him not wanting to play.

    That completely ruined the relationship between Kawhi and the Org.

    But Manu was the most aggressive of all the spurs vets in pursuing kawhi. He was just smarter with words than Tony. In the end, he ended up alienating kawhi too. So I suppose you can say he was partly to blame

    if the downfall was many years in the making then i'd have to say it started with not giving leonard the max after winning the le in '14. i wouldn't be surprised if aldridge was part of the problem either. but, who cares now? leonard is on cloud nine at the moment and his uncle is throwing it in the spurs face now. hopefully, the lesson has been learned on the part of the spurs in regards to how they will handle their current crop of younger players. the claw isn't going to win the le this year anyway and, if he stays with the raptors, he may not get back next year depending on what happens with philly, boston, milwaukee and even the knicks. also, leonard is still having issues with his quad in case anyone hasn't noticed. in the end, the spurs doctors could still prove to be right. also, this only becomes a real loss if leonard goes on to win les with the raptors. if not, one could only assume that the spurs lost out because they would have beaten GS with leonard (and that wasn't going to happen this year). honestly, no one has had the last word yet.

    Ok so taking this at face value. Kawhi and his people lost faith in Pop and the Spurs because of the injury. That makes sense, but his group screwing his trade value by saying he will only resign with an LA team is just as bad.

    But that’s obviously not the truth because instead of talking with his teammates, him and his group leaked to the media he was coming back in March. It didn’t happen, teammates question him and he ran away.

    He couldn't play yet refused to let us declare him out for the year. After being cleared by doctors with nothing on imaging showing anything wrong, just pain tolerance for any reported soreness.

    One of them was that jackass who kept trying to get Kawhi to sign an autograph for his daughter.

    manu would likely still think he was right if he were to have seen leonard playing through the pain this past series because he would have thought this is what he should have done at some point last season. but chances are manu isn't even watching so there's that.

    He didn't want to play. This will happen again. You don't punk out like he did, arguing with doctors, hiding from mates, and coaches, and it is 1 and done. This will resurface..

    Why would ESPN release a negative story to destroy the rep of the guy that is in the Finals? Especially since you believe they are all about protecting NBA superstar's reputations? If anything they'd want to pump him up vs the Warriors. Sell it as some sort of redemption story, redemption for last season, for the injury against the Warriors etc. And when the Finals is over, regardless of result, a full on push to get him to go to LA (mainly the Lakers).
