Uncle Dennis Finally Talks! “They didn’t believe Kawhi couldn’t play and that caused a lack of trust"

[Harry Callahan]

Even if it is, he will get the max contract and be setup for life. I don't think he will care too much.

Agreed. He wants the high dollar contract and then he and Uncle Dennis have their money - easy street then. June 30th at 6PM. At that point they are set for life financially and they can have #2 play 50 game regular seasons and hope/pray nothing breaks before the next contract year.

It'll break - probably/hopefully soon.

It hurts seeing the media rape us. Only Skip is defending us but I feel he's coming across as a bitter rather than laying down facts with research. I feel if he really wanted to defend the Spurs he could do better with more research. I'm hearing people say Shannon owned him by using Parker's comments.

Well without inside info Skip is doing a good job. Watching the show he tells the truth on this one..

Spurs are well known for being super cautious with injuries
They always rest players
The doctors said he could play over and over
Team-Mates eventually got pissed and confronted him..

All true and makes the Spurs seem in the right..

[K...]

As soon as.kawhi signs the contract hopefully the story is about him holding up his level of play and expectations. Without lebron as the warriors rival, with harden on the way down, the league needs talent. Kawhi should get exactly what he wants: a coach and city who.wipes his ass for.free.

[Roscoe P. Coltrane]

I wonder if past players are involved?

If the 4 or 5 prominent people involved are from the Spurs organization than It would have to be Pop, Buford, Duncan, Parker, Ginobili who's more prominent than those five? I do believe Parker is one of them. No way the Spurs let him walk last season, they would have found away to get him minutes, they let him walk because he was part of the problem and it's not because of the comment he made about the injury. I believe their personalities clashed and simply didn't like each other.

greg popovich gets away with a lot of stuff that most coaches can't. he tried to ruin kawhi's reputation in the league and failed.

Raptors fan will find out who Kawhi is soon enough.

This dude may be a fraud, but he's constantly "heard from his sources" that Kiwi is going to the Lakers. I was skeptical. Then I saw Kiwiesha Leonard post this:

[RC_Drunkford]

one just has to hope Kawhi doesn't ring and signs with a bad organization that can't handle Uncle Dennis. Knicks would be great tbh

[J_Paco]

If I had to guess what inside info timvp had, it would be something along the lines of the Spurs' ownership group saying something really nasty about Kawhi that made him feel disrespected, and the Spurs manipulating the media to advance their narrative.

Sure, the Spurs "manipulated the media" with talking heads like Chris Carter, Shannon Sharpe, Jalen Rose, etc. coming out saying that Kawhi could play and was 100%.

Oh wait......

Anyway, of course his family/representation is Now pretending they took the "high road" when they tried all last season to tarnish the organization and medical staff's reputation....

Kawhi got what he wanted which was out of town and is in good situation. I doubt he'll stay there long-term and is probably moving on to the Clippers this summer.

Gotta throw dirty on the grave and shade at the former organization while the media/public perception is on his side.....

[Roscoe P. Coltrane]

I remember all this also. I remember at a certain point in the season Pop said to the media at a practice that Kawhi is most likely done for the year because he hasn’t even showed he can practice and that they try to bring people along slowly after practicing by doing 3on3 to 5on5 games. To get their conditioning together so they will not be getting minutes too fast.

Well the next day after Pop said Kawhi is most likely done for the year a report comes out to the media from someone in Kawhi’s camp saying he will play again this season. Smh. It was all so confusing like nobody was on the same page.

I don't remember who but someone posted a Twitter argument last season between uncle Dennis and someone on Twitter. Who ever that person on twTwitt was seemed that he had inside info and called them out on some things.

Yeah, Kawhi is on top right now.

But as John Lennon once said "time wounds all heels."

Not that people on ST want to hear this, but IMHO Manu was more a part of butting heads with Kawhi than TP...

hey everyone, let’s take DPG’s word over woj’s

[J_Paco]

Shame on the front office for dropping the ball on the best player since Jordan. Should be a fireable offence, especially to the constant leaker.

Hope Kawhi rings away from Pop's plantation. It will hopefully break the camel's back and cause him to retire and head to the shadows as soon as possible.

With Pop meeting with Kerr 2 days ago, I truly believe the Raptors stand a chance thanks to the horrible game plan he probably gave Kerr.

Damn alcoholic.

You are by far the worst troll and stupidest person on this site.

Pop has out more basketball knowledge or "know how" than you'll ever possess in your life.

Please, log out of this site and run into some on coming traffic....

Per the usual, you miss the point. Woj talking about one comment from TP that supposedly ran Kawhi off is not the same as a multi-year issue of who gets along and who does not.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

That's true but if his career ends soon its a win for Spur fans because we won't have to hear the media talk about him 24/7.

If Kawhi leaves the Raptors he’ll still get a standing ovation next season, watch.

[Roscoe P. Coltrane]

Did the Spurs get a second opinion from another prominent medical group who confirmed the Spur doctor's diagnosis? I seem to have recalled reading it, but then again maybe not. And then the NBA league doctors in NY also examined him and confirmed the Spur doctor's diagnosis. It's then that Kawhi sought out his own medical evaluation. That one big national writer said Kawhi went doctor shopping and saw several doctors. Ô

So when and how did the injury happen? He rehabbed the ankle in SA after the 2017 playoffs, went to China in late summer and apparently had no problems. But he shows up at training camp with an injured quad and demands that his doctors take charge of the rehab. Then goes completely flakey from that point on.

So what happened between China and training camp that caused the injury or the quad to flare?

Maybe he didn't have the Koby Bryant status in China like they wanted so they decided then they wanted to make a move to L.A.

That’s fine; the situation he leaves TOR in was very different than SA with HOW he leaves. But when he leaves, while TOR fans may not have a reason to hate Kawhi like SA fans, they could very well be feeling the burn of no more playoffs for a while. That would sting badly.

your theory is baseless.

Oh, I don’t get care what kind of reception Kawhi receives. daslicer was saying Kawhi was going to get booed in Toronto next year if he leaves this summer because of what someone on realm said

He couldn’t be more wrong.

Eventually this will pass regardless of how successful #2 is. The media back in the day eventually stopped talking about the Magic/Shaq feud around 2000. This is still fresh right now since it was recent. Within a few years it won't be talked about. As great as #2 is it's hard to win a ton of rings in this current league unless you form a super team. Look at Lebron he's still stuck on 3. #2 can definitely ring but I don't see him having a dynastic type of run. Plus he's not charismatic enough to be the face of the league regardless of the market he plays in. The fact of the matter the Spurs storyline is being pushed by these guys to make #2 more interesting since there is nothing else about him that is interesting.

Yes it will pass in time. Maybe sooner than later if the Warriors beat these cucks in 5 and Kawhi signs with either LA team, gets to the playpffs, but never rings again. Maybe his bio will say, great player but was 1-3 in the Finals.

[timtonymanu]

It's just a pretty sad situation. Truly went into the darkest timeline lol. But it's okay Instagram Baller is promising more championships.

[r0drig0lac]

without doubt, Raptors could be swept by Golden State and Kawhi would still be the greatest raptor in the history

[Twisted_Dawg]

hopefully this motivates derozan to stop sucking and to improve his game *cough *get a 3 pt shot *cough ... I like derozan but this needs to light a fire in him .. he's being talked about to this whole week by Toronto fans /media and it ain't good for him either

You can polish and polish a turd, then repolish it, but in the end it's still a turd.

[TD 21]

At the predictably biased coverage. Not even attempting to pretend there's another side to it and acting as if the Raptors making the Finals is vindication (like the quality of player he is was ever in question).

The usual overt tribalism (Bayless knows it, but if he says that, it'll be the end of his career; granted, he's biased the other way) and shameless s, desperate to become the go-to for s bag's sleazebag uncle.

And it'll just be the media taking the Spurs down for the foreseeable future, especially if Nephew rings....

Meanwhile the organization won't say anything or defend themselves. Probably just a "we congratulate Danny and Kawhi and the Raptors organization" on their championship kind of thing....

Unfortunately, this is precisely what'll happen. It's time they grow a pair, stop taking this and fire back. I don't even mean so much at s bag and his sleazebag uncle; I mean more so at the media, for being extremely unprofessional. They should shame these pukes.
