    I bet Blake Griffin thought that too.
    Do you know anything about Griffin's investments portfolio, present and future? You can safely bet Ballmer put him in several lucrative ventures.

    Anyone who owns a business and has spent significant time in teaching and developing their employees only to watch them go to their compe or will never be able to support KL position. It is just too hard to find and develop good employees.

    This only if you believe the injury was a fake.
    Everything else was totally by the book. I don't like it but no rule prevents players from tampering. Rememebr LBJ-Miami.

    The injury wasn't a fake, we have to admit it. Danny Green and the Pau foot misdiagnosis made me realize it.
    The injury was definitely fake.

    No. Do you? I bet Blake doesn't have the direct line to Ballmer office anymore as well. Blake got tossed out like yesterday's trash to Detroit. That ship has sailed - the "Vault" of knowledge from Ballmer is closed for Griffin now.

    Has anyone ever actually found out the SPECIFIC injury suffered outside of a sprained ankle #2 has suffered in the last 2 seasons? Anyone? Crickets.....no one will say. There was no injury the past 2 years. There is a chronic, painful, degenerative issue with the knee tendons and attached quads. The injury will come later (hopefully not much later). The discomfort and pain from the condition will never go away.

    Based on Kawhi needing "load management" after sitting out basically an entire season, never having surgery, and experiencing quad/leg pain/issues in playoffs it appears the Spurs medical staff was spot on in their assessment.

    Totally understand why the Spurs felt the way they did, zero doubt Kawhi could have played if he wanted to, he simply didn't want to. He 100% quit on his team because he wanted to go play in LA.

    I have a question about Kawhi’s injury I’m not sure anyone can answer but was it caused or related to what Zaza did to him?

    He's definitely talking about Kawhi's group if you listen to the entire clip. He's basically implying that the decision was already made to go to L.A. and the process wasn't genuine by the uncle. Again, nothing really surprising after what they pulled on the Spurs. Hopefully this brings some finality to those on the forum that keep harping on this subject. I'm looking forward to head-to-head match ups against the Clippers in the playoffs. I think we are a better team but we'll see.

    The Problem with this issue is not that Kwahi signed with Clippers and they traded for Paul George, but it was already a done deal and OKC and CLIPPS were only negotiating the terms.
    But they did not tell the Lakers or Raptors and hold both Franchises hostage. Only as it seemed the Clippers had trouble they told the Raptors, but in the end it was always Clippers.
    This is negotiating in bad faith, which in my opinion Adam Silver should step in and deny the Trade from Paul George.

    Carter pretty much summed up the Kawhi situation in this video. Might’ve been a Freudian slip.

    I watched it and I didn’t get all of that even if it was a shot at Dennis. I only brought up OKC because TOR media dropped an article saying Masai thought they were operating in bad faith.

    I'm not a tax accountant but he loses on that front. Just playing in California full time will easily burn off an additional $8MM to $10MM in salary. Maybe more.
    His camp didn't have other option about this issue. Canadian taxes are even worse

    No, it was not related. The Zaza incident exacerbated a sprained ankle Leonard already had.

    Stop accusing the Spurs doctors of malpractice. You should not be doing that.

    Let's face it: Uncle outplayed everybody.
    No. Paul George's agent outplayed everybody. He signed with OKC and then asked for a trade.

    The only way I would give Dennis credit if he would have signed the supermax with the Spurs and then ask for a trade the next year. Or signed with Raptors and ask for a trade in 2020-21.

    Just get the deal then...ask for the trade. Uncle Dennis did everything wrong and cost the player $80M

    Like it or not (and I don't like it a bit), the guy is a genius. A three year plan which included a ring (maybe two), a year's rest, choosing the city and the team and the star to pair with. I mean, this is masterful.

    And BTW he showed why being quiet and not talking to the press (or to people leaking to the press) works out better. Again, I don't like it, but we must give it to the Uncle.

    Quadriceps tendinopathy, apparently with its ultimate origin in a deep thigh bruise suffered on 3/23/2016 against the Miami Heat, which caused Leonard to miss the next three games. So they say.

    Of course the medical details have not been publicly released, nor should they be, since it is private medical information. If Leonard's private medical information could be released to the public then so could yours.

    You really know about pro sport business, and business in general, quite obviously.

    He was probably getting positive feedback from Nephew during the season. During the meeting, he probably kept his head down as Uncle Dennis made some ridiculous demands.

    Spurs say it's tendinopathy which is chronic. The Sixers doctor who also misdiagnosed Markelle Fultz says it's atrophy which requires a lot of rest. That was basically Kawhi's camp excuse
