If the relationship is that sour, trade him away to the eastern conference team that gives you the most compensation....or to the sorry ass suns or kings.
Way to emotional homie....... let it play out or not!

If this is true, why the team meeting!?! An I'm emotional cuz I love sports an I spend my hard earned money on this team. Lots of it.
Hard to have a rivalry when one team can't even make it to the playoffs.
Right, what 5 years running, now?
His inability to show up for the last home game, after the meeting became public is somewhat disconcerting, I must admit.
My issue isn't so much the injury, it's the lack of apparent effort to be involved with the team. I don't get that at all. And I think Manu made reference to that as well, though he tried to soften it some.
Dunc'd On made a interesting point; The Spurs could simply offer him the designated player super max but instead of the full 35% max, have it be 32%. If he doesn't return this season, then he'll probably be inclined to sign it and lock into guaranteed money that he wouldn't be able to make otherwise.
If Kawhi plays well next season and still wants to be moved then the Spurs could move him with 4 years remaining on his deal thus opening the field up to teams that wouldn't otherwise make a move for a disgruntled superstar for fear that he would sign elsewhere.
Teams with good assets and lack of top talent, such as Phoenix or Atlanta could enter the sweepstakes and drive up Kawhi's value by giving the Spurs various options.
On the other hand, if Kawhi and PATFO can repair their relationship and Kawhi returns to his 2016-2017 level then the Spurs will have locked up him up but at a pretty good discount.
Why the team meeting? Parker being a ... He is the one who called it... What is everyone else gonna do? Say "no"? That's why Kawhi was surprised by it... Everyone else understood that the guy isn't ready, but Parker being Parker had to start some drama
people and their sources on ST... this place is such BS.
Unfortunely some people with bogus stories and schticks have ruined it for others.
Too many people cried wolf, so I understand why you may not think I'm being serious.
glad you're finally out of the closet. more power to you!
Even though you've heard what you've heard, do you think he is definitely gone, or do you still think he might stay?
Sorry dude. I dont like you. Stop hitting on me.
I mean, anything can happen, but the dude seemed adamant
Re-reading this, I'm a little confused. So you were with your wife, and your wife was talking to the family member of the Spurs player who was there with their wife and kid? Where was the game that you attended by the way? Was it in the US?
I don’t think this guy is trolling. He just doesn’t have that track record. Obviously even things as they are right now can change...
Why would you spend your hard earned money on the Spurs of all teams when the head coach admits it’s not that important to him, and coaches that way?
Y’all are forgetting most of us thought he would be mvp this season. I am mad at this too just as much but no situation were we get rid of him we are better off for it. . I’m sorry we just accept this and look forward to need hear like 2000 when Timmy got hurt. My bet is he is playing safe after seeing what has happened to isiah Thomas (like Derrick rose did in 2012-13). Remember if he dosent accept the offer this offseason and doesn’t play next year to his previous level he won’t qualify for the super max so he has motivation to return. Also guys are notorious for not wanting to go back home bc it is very distracting and an extra burden. Plus wasn’t he dad murdered there. Would you really think he has fond memories there.
wont be surprised if Kawhi is traded. Too many bridges burnt on both sides it seems
Normally I would believe that but with all the bs his uncle and his camp has pulled with the Spurs it's seems like they are determined to have Kawhi comeback home to LA. Kawhi seems like a lemming willing to follow. That's what I believe right now but I hope I'm wrong and I'm more than willing to eat crow.
I was there with my girlfriend, he was there with his wife and kid.
My gf started talking to both of them about their kid in between quarters because she works in childcare and thought their kid looked cute.
Then I had a couple of words to him because he had an american accent and it came out that he was the cousin of a Spurs player, so we started chatting more.
The game was in Australia.
Thanks mate![]()
