Uncle Dennis Finally Talks! “They didn’t believe Kawhi couldn’t play and that caused a lack of trust"

[rasuo214]

Right so ESPN had this diabolical plan to release the hit piece on the Spurs once #2 got to the Finals when they could have just released this earlier in the year.

ESPN (just like most news organizations) sit on plenty of stories and releases them when they see fit. Why release a hit piece on the Spurs if Kawhi is a s of himself and never becomes the elite player he was in the past? That just unnecessarily tarnishes a relationship with the Spurs. Just look at the article they released the second the Bucks were eliminated, the one that pissed Giannis off so much that he walked out of an interview. You think it was a coincidence they released that story at that time? They took the first opportunity they had to start churning the Giannis to a major market storyline.

And this all is assuming they even have this story, which we don't even know they do.

[KimmyGib]

Had the Spurs not traded him, whether or not Kawhi refused to play this year would have been the most revealing. There's a chance a good year together might have helped heal the relationship. Who knows. But to have traded Kawhi when they did will likely end up causing harm to the organization's reputation in more ways than is already apparent.

[MaNu4Tres]

What happend to guys like MaNu4Tres?

Who cares? that guy.


Just a vacation my friend.

Go Warriors.

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Ginobili for anyone wondering played a bigger part in Kawhis departure than Tony tbh.

He was far more vocal in his disblief about Kawhis injury and was the leader of the lockeroom scene that wanted Kawhi to play regardless of how he felt about his injury.

The 4 time Champion and Olympic gold medal winner who best USA's ass, and played with a broken arm in the playoffs can say whatever the he wants about that lying got who faked an injury.

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Why would ESPN release a negative story to destroy the rep of the guy that is in the Finals? Especially since you believe they are all about protecting NBA superstar's reputations? If anything they'd want to pump him up vs the Warriors. Sell it as some sort of redemption story, redemption for last season, for the injury against the Warriors etc. And when the Finals is over, regardless of result, a full on push to get him to go to LA (mainly the Lakers).

Exactly

[TDomination]

Manu is a Spur and Kawhi is a ...Manu played hurt/injured most of his career...so did Timmy...so did Tp...Kawhi had enough rehab and if he wanted to he could have shut it down for the year...the option was on the table ...but he and his group were stringing the Spurs along the entire year...and for players like Manu that has to be frustrating... we as fans were frustrated

this was a huge issue. If kawhi was saying that he was in pain, and uncle Dennis and them would rather not risk it, why not just shut it down?

they kept saying he was rehabbing towards coming back but he never did.

And someone in kawhis group releases a date, that he was going to come back a game in March against the pelicans or something like that. And Pop didn’t even know about that.

[rjv]

When it comes to #2 situation you are as credible to me as Fox news when it comes to reporting about Trump. You make up crap in here all the time that is not verifiable You are basically this site's National Enquirer.

[testies]

Look, we are in the right for sending this out of our organization. We are not the Orlando Magic who will pros ute themselves for a chance at a ring or something.

THe ONLY ING reason Im pissed is that sent him to a ing conference finalist contender, instead of sending him to Siberia Timberwolves or some . Its not like the ing trade assets matter, we didnt even get any.

Eh at least there's a chance he stays in Toronto vs 100% going to LA. Last thing the Spurs need is him teaming up with Lebron.

[TheGreatYacht]

Shame on the front office for dropping the ball on the best player since Jordan. Should be a fireable offence, especially to the constant leaker.

Hope Kawhi rings away from Pop's plantation. It will hopefully break the camel's back and cause him to retire and head to the shadows as soon as possible.

With Pop meeting with Kerr 2 days ago, I truly believe the Raptors stand a chance thanks to the horrible game plan he probably gave Kerr.

Damn alcoholic.

He's not going anywhere even if #2 rings. That's the stupidest logic that idiots like you use to root for #2. That you guys actually believe Pop/RC will step down if he rings. Use common sense Pop has nothing to live for now since his wife is dead. His job is the only thing that keeps him going.

[TDomination]

This is Michael C Wright said in his podcast. Goes against what uncle Dennis is saying. Of course the Spurs were expecting kawhi to play when he keeps insisting that he will be back soon.

A week before that, Kawhi told those guys he was going to be back for that game.

And that didn’t happen. And that was the second or third time they had been told something like that and then it didn’t happen. So, they were frustrated.

Kawhi and his people were saying Kawhi is going to be back for this game. That doesn’t happen. He’ll be back for this game. And he’s telling the players, he’s telling R.C. and Pop this is when he’s going to be back. And every time, it was just sort of, ah, nope, pump fake that. And that’s what was happening, so they were getting frustrated about, too.

And that’s why you have the team meeting where they want to know like, “Hey dude. You said you were coming back this time. You said you were coming back this time. When are you coming back?” That’s what that was about.

And after that horrific trade, what team would hire butt buddy to be their GM. He aint going anywhere either.

That is from BACK 2 BACK podcast July 5th 2018. Tom Habostro interviewed Michael C Wright. This podcast is a must listen for any Spurs fan over this situation.

Just join the raptors bandwagon formally already - why the do you continue to post here?

Go yourself and stop pretending you are some kind of spurs fan.

The piece of quitter betrayed this franchise.

All he had to do was stfu for ONE SEASON - and then turn down the spurs offer and go play wherever the he wanted.

Instead he took a FULL PAYCHECK

and sat like a pussy in hiding - with no ing balls to face little tony parker and skinny ass manu and midget patty -

and then hid for a full ing season. This - will NEVER EVER EVER -

make anyone respect that piece of prima donna.

I hated KOBE's ass more than any player in history - but that rapist would have sucked it up after the ZAZA incident and played the entire series.

I hate the warriors more than any team in history - and I refuse to root for them to win over the quitter -

but I also refuse to support or root for this piece of quitter and I hope he has a career ending REAL injury.

As a matter of fact - here is the ultimate scenario in the finals.

That Draymond, Curry, Durant & Kawhi all go for a loose ball and collide and all four suffer career ending injuries -

but that is not all -

I hope that while you are watching this - you choke on your goddamn tacos -

and end up in intensive care - and that Kawhi hears about your story and a reporter suggests he visit you in the hospital -

and the quitter refuses to go and just says - " that dik sucker"

go yourself you piece of kawhi ball licker.

[BackHome]

I’ll just be happy if he jets to New York or back to Cali.

[JeffDuncan]

...
Everyone I've emailed with regarding further details has come to the same conclusion: not worth the consequences. The people involved would deny it and there's a good chance of being blackballed.

What is there these days that could cause so much trouble?

Racist remarks?

[Uriel]

Who cares? that guy.


Just a vacation my friend.

Go Warriors.

Any more insider info to share?

Good points. Looking back, Kawhi returning was a carrot-on-a-stick dangling in front of us all season long, even up until the start of the playoffs. It was frustrating as , so it's understandable why Manu, Tony, and the others eventually lost patience. Based on their interviews last year, the players themselves didn't seem to know what was really going on.

And there still isn't enough information available to know where to point our fingers. Sure. it's natural for Spur fans to side with the org, in spite of the shortage of facts. But there's definitely more to this story.

[Barfunk]

Stop with the imagination

The Spurs were 70% to blame in this situation

Complete bull .

What article is this on Giannis?

[gilmor2002]

I think it's the other way round.

Duncan did become the face of the franchise and well-deserved.

Kawhi just doesn't have the right mind and at ude to become the face of the franchise no matter how good a basketball player he is.

This is honeymoon period for Raptors, I don't see Kawhi staying.

that's actually what I would love to see happen in the Finals too. I can't in root for either team. I hate both mother ers so bad

Pop sucker on damage control. PATFO treated him like , being an alpha, he made crater face fly to California to tell him in his face he wanted out. Now he's in the finals while you lay your hope on instagram baller and his inspiring posts. RC got fleeced PERIOD.
