The Spurs FO is the laughing stock of the league.

Please it's not a juvenile way because however much pain he was in whether the injury was worse then or not he still could of sat his mute dumb ass on the bench and supported his team. I bet anyone of us would take 19 million to just sit on a bench. The guy was but hurt by possibly two people and I guess the rest of the team could go to too but I will gladly still take my check thank you.

He WAS sitting on the bench... Until the FO ed up the relationship royally

The media does not like the Spurs because we are not big headlines, so I don't care about that. But the issues with this clown will continue regardless of location..

Needing 20 plus games off a season, maybe more as he ages..
Being ultra sensitive about really everything. "Don't pressure me. Or even look at me angry, or I will run and hide"
Uncle wanting new houses, cars, and a line of call girls etc..

True. One can only hope that he signs with a team where issues like that occur again and he pulls the same . That would expose em

i don't get why the Spurs need to prove anything to anyone though that's first and foremost. that being said why do they need to redeem themselves? What could they have done differently? They tried to mend fences they basically phased out Parker and ginobli which if the mute really wanted to mend fences without those two who else was the beef with? Pop? He really hated the orginization 80 million dollars worth of hatred???? Was there a trade out there we were hearing that was better?
At one point we were all scoffing at taking the lakers young players just to spite kaweasel and we thought the rumor was basically the whole laker team. And yes if that was indeed on the table I would of said screw the mute do what's best for us. Kuzma hart ball Ingram randle LMAO..... Had that been the case the spurs with there current young players and those or a combination of those would really be in a good spot and who knows where we draft or if we would of had a Lakers pick. BUT as things started to leak out we found out the lakers were squeezing us like Philly was and we were being offered . So what should we have done spite him and keep him setting us up for bigger failure???? Roll the dice keep him and hope his mute ass and dirtbag uncle change there minds?

Spurs dont need to redeem themselves at all. He literally ed the franchise over didn't even have enough class to privately go ask for a trade let the orginization know there ain't no coming back from this and i want out and let the Spurs get max value for him. But NO he had to embarrass and give it to the Spurs rt up the you know what. What a classy way to repay an orginization that made you , handed you the keys and their fan base.

They broke the fence... Then didn't want to pay what the fence was worth to build it back

Dude, seriously. All you do in this forum is to cry about how PATFO screwed up that relationship with nephew.

Move on already or just change your favorite team to the Raptors

Exactly.. I respect the fact that he is a great payer, however I don't miss him, and I am not sorry that he is gone. We had Tim Duncan for basically 20 years. My fav player of all time, and I think he was, along with Bill Russell (who loves Tim), the best pure team player ever in basketball. Class act, who always put team first and was a leader. Not an accident he won 5 rings over such a long career. Leonard is a "Me" player. He plays great when he feels like playing, and will make sacrifices only if he think it will directly benefit himself. The cowardly way he handled his departure unplugged me emotionally from wanting him to be our franchise player. We will find our next guy. It was not number 2..

He made 19 million dollars to sit on his ass, not get surgery, be cleared medically to play, and then he had a problem with the team being pissed off at him. You know in normal life when you collect a salary, you need to show up to work. We tend to put athletes in such an elite category they can get away with anything, which is why he pulled this . When you break it down in it's simplest terms, this A-Hole stole 19 million dollars last season..

I don't know why you're writing an essay when I been the one saying the things you just said. I'm just saying ESPN and all those other gots gone criticize the Spurs forever for letting nephew go, so if they want that narrative to die one of those things has to happen or the Spurs have to ring. Otherwise you'll hear about the trade of the decade every month from now on

i can write whatever I want last I checked it's a message board that's first. Second you don't feel like reading an essay move along and read another post. Lastly seriously you had to be a rude insulting dope just to get credit and show people up. We are primarily here for the same reasons so man up write what you want and shut up. Sorry if your feelings were hurt with the essay.

Dude no offense but this is a board for the "team" of the San Antonio Spurs not a kawhi Leonard board. You can keep defending him and point fingers but most people on here just pointing out the obvious as Spurs fans yes we are hurt but you can take it out on the team/management/trainees/front office whomever but in the end your anger should be focused on the very guy your defending because he gave you and the rest of us fans a big FU on his way out. Maybe there's a kawhi Leonard board you could join brother;-)
