They csnt fire that said guy. Its not TP or Pop if anyones wondering
He was injured till around late feb. HE could have played though but during the injury someone in the org did said something to Kawhi that kinda made him rethink his situation.
Remeber when they even gave a timetable for return? Because he was about to return...
But he didnt appreciate that one dudes input and he felt extremely disrespected so he just decided to not return and worst ask for a trade.
That persons name might pop out if the raps reach the finals though
if this is actually true, did the Spurs fire this guy? How egregious was the comment/input this guy made? Was it really that bad enough for kawhi to go full AWOL? It seems like it would be a simple “kawhi were totally committed to u we’re gonna fire this guy” I mean I would

You're talking about RC or ownership then.They csnt fire that said guy. Its not TP or Pop if anyones wondering

gotcha. And im not trying to attack u, this is just the first I’ve heard of this specific thing. It just confuses me how something 1 person said could send this whole thing into turmoil. It was really that bad what this guy said?
I don't buy into that bs. You are a troll so I can't take you seriously. I have been to realgm and seen a ton of Raptor fans spaz out when opposing fans say #2 is going to LA this summer. A lot of them actually believe if they get to the finals that he will stay. Realgm for me will be a better gauge on how they handle #2's departure this summer.
Its not just said but what he did to. Well its not like that guy is an irrelevant intern
If KY leaves Toronto for Cali then we all know we were right and better to get something then nothing.
I live in Toronto, they are just happy he’s playing hard. The raps have done everything they can to keep him, if he leaves it’s hos decision and I guarantee you no matter what happens in these playoffs he’ll get an liud cheer as a visitor should he leave. I’m around raptor fans literally everyday, it’s all anyone talks about.
No one is going to be bitter towards Kawhi if he leaves. Everyone knew the “risk” when it came to trading DeRozan. Spurs got fleeced.
Agreed, love his all on approach and even when the Raps has one of the best records in the league this season he still kept making moves to improve them as oppose to settling with what they had.
And if he stays is def a deal overall
What part of he wasn’t playing another game in a Spurs uniform you don’t get?
He sit out almost an entire season, was ready to do the same again.
Ppl also said there was no way he would suit up for another team... How insanely wrong were they? Lol
He didn’t burn bridges in Toronto... and they still won’t get any commitment from him
I wish he had
If he wins a le this year, I'll be done with the NBA
Pop and RC should get rings if the Raptors win. And they'd happily accept them too.
But he played... When ppl were adamant he wouldn't... So him committing to stay is besides the point ppl are making... He would have played here this season if they kept him
People had legit concerns he was actually injured. It was all a charade. The fact he didn’t land where he wanted meant he had to prove his stock again. It’s all very cynical and transparent at the same time, tbh
Hes practically wearing a clipper jersey. It’s been known prob since about October.
Man I thought you are well connected within the organization? its a pretty well known fact that the relationship soured between Kawhi and Org because someone in the Organization (Not pop) screwed it up. Kawhi was legitimateld injured till around March, but they decided they were done with the org once that particular person did what he did.
Was never injured. This goes all the way back to the China trip he made. So let’s nip that BS in the bud
No no he wouldn’t have and stop talking like you know anything.
Hes not staying.
Like I said before I don’t buy into your BS. You are a troll and have zero credibility with me.
So if that was the case he would prove he is super healthy by playing every game... He was clearly injured and had to ease his way throughout the season
This.
Said this at time of the trade.
KL was the blue chipper sure he only had one year on deal left but you push for Siakm but at LEAST get back Anouby. And tbh you dont let Green Walk with Siakm Spurs beat Nuggs easily yes DD's playmaking would have been missed but Pop is a smart coach and you could have traded for another ...
Seems like spurs wanted the best "right now player" and DD helped them make playoffs so Spurs were right about that ...but still dumb to trade a francise guy and not get their best young prospect in return.
I could understand if the Raptors played hardball and put a red line at Anunoby or Siakam. Fine...Spurs were in a position of weakness. Any trade partner would have all the leverage with the cluster conditions that Kawhi's group laid out there. But to also include Danny Green and not take back any wing players...even scrubs like CJ Miles. It's beyond stupid. And they threw in $5 million on top of all that. If you're going to lose Kawhi, use it as a chance to salary dump Mills or Gasol at least.
Mostly right:
This automatically rules out the Tobias Harris + picks Clippers deal, since he was just under 19 ppg last season. Would have been much better for the Spurs but they reallly wanted that 20 ppg scorer. SA made a be-mediocre-now move instead of trading for a package of young players or draft picks. As a fan it's disappointing to see Pop put his own interests(not retiring on a lotto team) ahead of the team's.
DeRozan being a 6th man makes a lot of sense. I doubt with his stature and fragility he would accept that role, but it (IMO) would solve a lot of problems.
Having a SL of Murray, White, 3PT shooting SF, PF, LMA with a bench of DeRozan, Forbes, Lonnie, Bertans, Jakob type lineup (or insert draft picks, free agents) would be a very well balanced team and allow DeRozan to feast, create and surround him by 3PT shooters to take advantage of his play making.
If hes playing well, he closes at SF with Murray/White to cover up on defense assuming sa has a PF that can shoot/space/defend some.
