    Kawhi's group media trained him when he sat out. You can see that by the one interview he gave to Spurs reporters where he said for sure when they asked him if he wants to finish his career here. Also at the few games where he came back to sit behind the team on the bench. That wasn't natural behaviour
    Almost every player is going to say yes to that unless they don't have a reason to. Remember when Kyrie said he was going to stay with the Celtics? It's a dumb question to ask a player.

    So this news that nobody has heard before, is that Kawhi wanted to leave San Antonio and go to LA.

    Wait, didn't we already know this?
    the quote was he wanted to ball out. That was his exact verbiage. Just a total jackass. I heard this straight from the horses mouth, I’m not jazzing it up. Didn’t even want to let pop speak. Just an en led piece of . Just wait till free agency like a normal human. Smh

    I know, I was just pointing out that it seemed like he was prepared for these questions by the "group". I never took his answer serious

    After that, Pop and him are at least still civil? With Pop still praising him when the Raps played in San Antonio?

    It was an official NBA trip on behalf of NBA China, and also supported by Jordan Brands. Other players had done it before Kawhi. The NBA is looking to increase interest in China, and Jordan Brands is looking to sell shoes, of course. The Spurs knew all about that China trip, btw.

    The real reason for those China trips is that the Jews are trying to sell the teams to the Chinese before black people get rich enough to buy them, but you don't got that from me

    Jesus u guys are gullible... Everyone knows the rumor that Kawhi wants to go to LA... so some idiot comes on a message board and makes up a conversation with supposed connects to the Spurs front office (that they conveniently won't tell anyone else except this random guy) and it's not gospel?

    I could just as simple make up a story about what AD said to the pelicans with mythical sources

    Nephew most likely also paid for everything.

    Trust me, blood is not always thicker than water. After I watched what my mother went through with her mother's side of the family-- I will NEVER trust them. I trust only Me, Myself and I.

    To make a long story short, Kawhi sat down with pop with his uncle there. This is how the conversation went down.

    Kawhi: “Before you say anything Pop, I’m going to let you know I do not care to play in San Antonio. My mind is made up. I just want to play in LA and ball out.”
    I'm not sure why this is considered news or controversial.

    This is basically the way that meeting was reported at the time and it seems almost obvious.

    Pop went into the meeting with one goal in mind -- wanting to hear it from "the horse's mouth." Pop wanted to make Kawhi tell him to his face.

    Pop thought Kawhi might not be able to do it (even with Uncle Dennis next to him). Even Pop probably thought it was a long shot -- but at least Pop would get the satisfaction of making him do it.

    Uncle Dennis must have suspected Pop's approach and likely told Kawhi to practice in front of a mirror what he would say to Pop before Pop said anything.

    Dennis knew that if Pop was allowed to start the meeting with his spiel, Kawhi's statement would be harder and harder to execute (much less to calculate the "right" moment).

    So Kawhi did what he needed to do under the cir stances.

    Pop had a "Hail Mary" chance and like most Hail Marys it didn't work out.

    No big revelation here.

    Kawhi is fake. He would say whatever his uncle wants him to say. The guy would try to act normal, laugh with Lowry or anybody then goes back to his stoic face. It’s so fake. Everything he does is rehearsed. Please move on. I’ve wasted my time just commenting on this

    My conclusion Leonard was bored in SA and just wanted to leave and acted unprofessionally to fastrack his departure. Everything else is just noise. Michael Wright’s article in ESPN and Stephen A. Smith echoed the same sentiment. I expect him with the Clippers next season.
