    They got fleeced. Teams get desperate during the season. Eg, Philly gave up a ridiculous amount for Tobias Harris. There would definitely have been a team willing to gamble and kawhi would probably have been desperate to play, because no matter what else, he definitely loves basketball. This front office has been making boneheaded decisions for at least the last 3 years
    Tobias Harris was trying. Kawhi could’ve done damage refusing to play and demanding a trade to the Lakers and vowing to sit out another season and being a visible blight on the Spurs organization. Plus Spurs wanted to be a playoff team and Kawhi sitting would’ve guaranteed no playoffs.

    Spurs waited too long to make a trade. Should have made a trade no later than draft night.
    For what Tobias Harris and one of those clipper picks? Nobody really know but it was mentioned the clippers were not going to give both picks and even if they had and one of those two picks or both became good players but Tobias left via free agency it still would of been crap all deals were crap. Even now I hold firm and say derozan was best deal. Poetyrl (spelling) is actually developing nickel if the Spurs were able to add bogdanovic(spelling) with keeping derozan and Aldridge with the young players and the picks they be a pretty good squad and in contention in the west next year depending how things work out with lakers and others. But if they were able to trade derozan for something worth while and add bodanovic(spelling) still in good shape there will be takers for derozan. They gave themselves some options while kawitter robbed us of any real options.

    For example, there is nothing to suggest the Spurs couldn't use the Fitness-to-Play provisions of the CBA to force KL's hand ....
    No, that isn't what Fitness to Play is about. It did not apply.

    I'm curious how the guy who just led his team to a championship could sit out for a second year, functionally getting $40mm gratis. ...
    The only recourse the Spurs would have had, to exert pressure on Leonard, was to stop paying him.

    This is so stupid. I get being mad but no matter what SA has proven to be a top notch front office. They will rebound. This off season will be huge. Not just for SA but everyone.

    One of the most monumental off seasons for the nba maybe ever.
    your nuance that is complicated for small brains
    and it isn't edgy or easy to digest

    it has to be all or nothing. patfo are incompetent morons OR kawhi is a piece of quitter
    PERIOD

    Lol, what is the nuance in vastly overpaying Patty and Pau? What is the nuance in targeting a proven scrub like DeMar?

    The problem is this front office thinks it's smarter than everyone else, but the empirical evidence is that it hasn't been for years.

    Kawhi wanting out of SA was a bitter pill, considering the player development investment and amazing athletic gifts that he possessed. The return on the investment that went bye-bye remains to be seen...but one constant that remains, the original starter yeast dough, is the Spurs player development team. They are some of the best in the business and that development can make for some very tasty bread.

    One player was actually injured. The other one was advised by his uncle to pretend.

    But they can beat themselves. Which means they can beat a playoff team. Which means you are wrong.

    Well if it makes you happy everyone outside intimate Spur circles and fan groups already thinks that way, and if they didn't think that way before, the media has pushed this hard as the "The redemption of Kawhi," so it'll be known that way for good. I'm just waiting to see what he does in July.

    the only way he can ruin this is by joining Lebron and Davis in Los Angeles.
