Tony Parker throwing shade at Kawhi

[John B]

All TP needs to do now is Kawhi's girl to complete the process, tbh.

Tony had a tissue tear, surgery, healed

Kawhi has long-term chronic inflammation, maybe degradation and/or scarring of the tissue, still chronic apparently, iow, NOT healed, TOTALLY different, Dr. "100 times" Parker.

What ever he has the Spurs orginization and the Spurs doctors know it and they are all saying he can play. The Spurs are notorious for being overly cautious when it comes to any injuries we are not Detroit so the only reason he is not playing is $$ and contract.

So you got two issues one he has quit on his team cause he doesn’t want a setback to hurt his new contract and making max$$. Or second his injury is chronic.

Either of these two makes me want to trade him and get draft picks or players just best deal for Spurs.

Jerry's about to do some more fleecing, tbh. The Spurs are getting Austin Rivers, Gallinari and Wes Johnson for KawhiPERIOD

You guys are stuck with Austin until Doc is fired which looks like it's not going to happen any time soon.

More media mental masturbation for a slow Saturday.

What did RUdy say?

What's weird is CC says "these are the same people who managed my career". Who are these people that would manage both of them in two different sports/eras? I assume he means the specialist doctors? I doubt Kawhi's uncle had anything to do with Carter's career. Are there other advisers (Lawyers, financial guys, personal trainers) CC is referencing?

Kawhi is a client of Impact Sports Management, and it looks like Cris Carter was too. Guessing that's the connection. I sure hope he is wrong tho... But I guess we'll see.

Here's an older article about it when it was said Kawhi was leaving his agency.

Cheers man. Holmes couldn't have solved that mystery faster.

Id just cut Leonard before I’d take any of that crap.

Nice work. Thanks for the scoop.

[BanditHiro]

Enrique should be worried about how he had the same number of points Kawhi did.

[Play Boban]

Patty contract better than kl

Any thinking man would have to agree with you. At least Patty gives us minutes, unlike Kawhi.

The point is that Kawhi only has an "impeccable track record" with fans and media. His teammates spend more time with him and are likely to have their own opinions of his independent of his "record". If they think Kawhi is faking, it'd be because they think his "record" allows for it. If Kawhi is displaying cancerous tendencies now, he's likely displayed them before, and we just haven't heard yet. Well, we actually have heard before, but we just dismissed them, like Kawhi not doing much to recruit LMA, not helping to recruit Durant at all, and not really doing anything to recruit CP3. This was all Rose-level stuff even before he got hurt.

You can't force a round peg into a square hole. He is who he is. You cannot hold it against him for not recruiting. For example, Kobe didn't recruit Shaq (to stay).

I can't speak to how he is in the Spurs organization, but prior to this year I heard absolutely nothing negative about him.

Now, TP is hardly a saint (I'm not going there because it's not on topic). So what if he had the same injury. So what if it was "100% worse." People experience pain differently and recover differently. TP is a 6 foot guard; Kiwi is a 6'9" forward. Comparing the two is like apples to oranges. And just because TP healed just fine doesn't mean Kiwi will too. He's right to be skeptical about a team physician's diagnosis. Remember, he works for the Spurs (and not Kiwi).

It Leonard's issues are not physical then they are mental. He may be suffering from a form of illness not related to an injury.

[LkrFan]

I trust the Spurs training/Medical staff's impeccable track record of well over 20 years than Kawhi's 7 years, tbh.

Their team docs work for the team and not Kiwi. 10 time out of 10 he will do what the Spurs want (or practice medicine elsewhere). Kiwi is right to be skeptical. Look at what the Pistons did to Grant Hill. Look at what Boston did to IT. I'm just saying...

[Pauleta14]

the actual interview is nowhere near as acidic as reading it on a screen in one's own tone. and the comments were solicited.

Still.

Even if he is careful with his choice of word (not his forte), by "defending" the medical staff he put more oil on the fire/created more doubts for the public!

He HAS to be smarter than that at is age!

Unless he is/they are tired of Kawhi and it's a passive/aggressive y move

[gambit1990]

a big part of why i still give kawhi the benefit of the doubt is because... what does kawhi have to gain from not playing?

him not playing doesn't help his basketball career/sponsorships/legacy.

[Pauleta14]

There are so many Kawhi threads right now that choosing where to post this info is giving me a headache. Clearly, I'll need outside specialists to clear me before I post again.

But, as it is a non game day, and we're all just shooting the breeze here is some guy from MSN listing his idea of good Kawhi trades

://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/opinion-5-leonard-trades-that-make-sense/ar-BBKzUuY

There isn't a good trade out there for the Spurs bro, stop wasting your time...

Plus if something has to happen, it would be after trying everything to make it work, and they have 1 more year (or at least until next february) to trade him if necessary.

Trading him before would be stupid, unless they've identified another 'Kawhi" in the next draft that nobody saw...

Honestly?

A real physical issue that, exposed, would kill his value, included by the Spurs just before he can sign an amazing max extension this summer.

Imagine a scenario a la Brandon Roy...

[HI-FI]

It's all fun and games until the franchise signs somewhere else, and the Spurs end up in Seattle... thanks Tony Parker...

I know it sucks you're barely a bench player now, but you don't have to let your ego get in the way of the Spurs' future.

First calling a players-only meeting, now outright insulting the star player on the team...

What's next? Going Tonya Harding on Murray to get back his starting spot? SMDH...

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Every show on NBA radio is talking about the Spurs/Kawhi. Not just a mention but the major topic. Every show. Nobody ever predicted this.

The media helped manufacture a large majority of this ridiculous soap opera garbage. At the same time, Kawhi is also to blame for not saying a single ing word on the injury for several months.

[Clipper Nation]

For example, Kobe didn't recruit Shaq (to stay).

Because he wanted Shaq to be traded and was busy threatening to leave the Lakers in free agency if they didn't trade Shaq.

Truth. Also true: Kobe 5, Snaq 4
