It would be nice if anyone had any idea what was going on. Hearsay is pretty bad, but when Kawhi won't comment for himself publicly it just let's the rumor mills grow. I have friends and family who are challenging...doesn't mean I'm going to trade them.
Between him not talking, Pop not addressing anything, and RC being cryptic it's hard to say what "challenging" translates to...injury is challenging?..demands challenging?..contract negotiations challenging?..in-flight menu requests challenging?
At least when your team is full of media hounds the public has an idea for what's going on.
