Truth bomb tbh
I don't buy it, KL went to the Clippers because it was the best choice going forward, and not simply because he wanted to be in LA. Toronto has too much uncertainty in their roster & Leonard didn't want to be LBJ's towel boy.
LOL, "vindication." Apparently for some, Pop/Spurs can never fail, they can only be failed.

Best choice going forward? Wtf? Lol yeah leaving a team you just won a championship with is not the best choice. What world do you live in?
the only roster uncertainty in Toronto was Kawhi himself.
LOL! Right. Just imagine if Kiwi had gone to the Lakers instead. I'm ready for another long break from this forum, myself. Nothin but a bunch of crybabies, spoiled brats & energy suckers/Vampires. Like attracts Like indeed -- No wonder they're so damn in love with #2. YEESH!!

Yep!
We'll see if Gasol, Lowry & Ibaka (who are going to be free agents after next year) can rise to the occasion with Siakum, as they did with Leonard this year.
Yep, they're rock-solid, all right.
Gee, you're saying the Raptors might be worse without Kawhi?
Bold.
I don't believe that for a second. That pos was holding out from the Spurs to force a trade.
Such an interesting scenario, I did not see it going down like this.
It does shed a realistic light on Kawhi’s desire to go to LA, and gives the Spurs some slight vindication.
It also sheds light on Kawhi’s desire to win and assemble a contending team. This doesn’t flatter the Spurs.
Gasol/Mills might be mostly what drove Kawhi away. Either way, Spurs were not holding on to him.
Correct!
A lot of posters upset the Spurs didn't bend over backwards to appease him, only for him to inevitably do what he did to Toronto.
So he could get a deal with....New Balance.
Apparently, you don't like puppies.
That's just a stupid, self-serving conclusion. PATFO ed up giving Patty that contract. PATFO ed up giving Pau that second big contract. PATFO couldn't do anything about Kawhi deciding he wanted to be in LA. Work that into your theory.
Wow, talk about projection. If this self-serving thesis gives you comfort, all the best.
I'm not buying it.
You don't have to, but you have to make up your own self-serving thesis in the face of the fact that he went to LA after winning a championship with a franchise that did nothing wrong.
Well it means he can be booed for two nights in SA instead of one for starters. He might want to stay close to the hotel in TO as well. He forced a trade with us after all the money we paid for his rehab and then the Spurs sent him to the best team in the East. It was not a 'we'll show you move' as some fantasists have pretended, but a classy move which was very helpful to the Raptors.
The fact that getting to CA was the plan all along is obvious to everyone now. The way he and his uncle did that upset a lot of NBA fans. Add leaving TO after winning a championship and I'd say his PR guru uncle must of overslept in 'PR class' a few times. It's over and has little bearing on us anymore.
Look, I am not saying Spurs could do more. Nephew had PATFO by the balls and at the time I thought the Raptors trade was pretty good, after all. Only, in a few months the market changed and apparently everybody and his brother is offering multiple 1st picks as if there is no tomorrow (starting HOU for Butler). Hindsight is 20-20 but I am not paid to trade players, but it seems to me now that probably the picks were available last summer too.
The fact that Pop didn't want to send n.2 to a West conf team maybe wasn't that great an idea (assuming the offers were there -LAL was for sure according to Magic)
Sure, Clips took a risk, I mentioned on another comment it reminds me of the Nets trade.
Still, TOR has a ring, OKC 5 1st, LAC has Leonard + George...We have DDR
The fact that Leonard waited to consider his options, instead of immediately declaring his choice to go to LA, vitiates the OP's thesis.
Leonard to LA was not inevitable.
To say that Spurs are vindicated is self-serving.
I hope the Spurs can learn from this experience.
Lmao. Capt bringdon is dumb as
He only waited for the Clippers to meet his demands.
Oh, come on. The fact that LAC and OKC finalized the deal for Paul George at the same time was just coincidence. LAC was his best option, and the Paul George trade just made it better. When you do things the right way, like Autist and Uncle, things just seem to work out.
You wouldn't know the truth if it beat you like your boyfriend.
tbh...
