I don't think we will ever know the full truth but Pop should have done whatever it took to keep KL and his uncle happy. This is a player's league so Pop needs to get over himself. Nobody watches the Spurs to see him coach.
In fairness tho, he was out of rhythm a lot cause he wasn't involved a lot. Some was on him, but some was on Kawhi. There's nothing wrong with asking a guy to become more of a playmaker and expand his game to make his teammates better. Like I said, Lebron/Harden get their points/assists.
Edit: like how hard would it be to run the p&r or pick & pop? Something so simple would've made Kawhi more dangerous too

It'll be interesting to see what happens next Summer..
If Kawhi goes to either LA team, then I don't think there's much the Spurs could have done to keep him..if he remains in Toronto, then we'll really have to re-examine everything![]()
Those tweets are full of twit. It is a known fact Kawhi was injured. There is no honest question about that. The only legitimate argument would be about the severity and the rehab.
Nor do you change an NBA offense by "suggesting" it at an offseason meeting. You change it by designing plays and practicing them.
That Greene character is a lying sack.
Spot on!
I think he stays in toronto if they win the championship. It will be the best thing for his people and his brand. Kawhi wining mvp/fmvp. That will shut up all of kawhi's haters and critics. If not, i think he joins forces with lebron next year to try to take out the warriors.
Imo if he is about winning a championship, Toronto looks like the best option, they're the perfect counter to the Warriors on paper. If they chip he'd he a God in Toronto.
Like we should believe this guy saying that "Kawhi's stealing rebounds of his teammates in Toronto" or Danny's done.
This guy on Tw just don't know anything...F*ck it going to betray some trust on here, he's just a salty Spurs' fan hating on Kawhi and Danny because they're doing so great on other team.
"stealing rebounds"
PATFO could have made mistakes but I doubt they chose LMA over Kawhi or wanted that Kawhi "has to give that up or bend for LaMarcus".
But if they really did it, well...they made the worst decision in the NBA history
patfo never ever bent over for kawhi in anyway shape or form during his tenure here, he had to earn that and never received the love the big3, his pets, his favorite crew, let alone fkn dogs who only had 1yr service getting priority over him....kawhi got the jax treatment...
1on1 eattings, yet brings one of his lapdops to the table to dine with kawhi, wtf? gtfo...
Why are we posting some random dude's twitter who clearly has no clue wtf he's talking about?
The same reason people keep posting Jeff Mcdonald and Jabari Young tweets.
Kawhi has no hobbies, interests, taste, isn't fun to be around outside the baseball court. He hasa wife i think, but she won't stand up to him they probably don't even talk to each other
Yeah he sounds delusional at this point.
Playing basketball is a hobby and an interest. I guess he killed off two of your birds with one stone.
You guys should have tried harder to trade for him. I really want to see Boston, Philadephia and the Lakers all come to regret their decisions to not go ALL OUT for Kawhi.
Breaking news: Kawhi is still a got that quit on his team.
Lebron going to be 35 next year, nobody should be joining him to try and beat super teams anymore..
it's not about Kawhi or LaMarcus, it's that both of them should've been paired with a PG who can break down the defense. Especially LA would benefit from that and Kawhi also cause he can play more offball. Even Danny Green would've looked way better, as you see on the Raptors now. They had to play with an over the hill Tony Parker. An All-Star PG like Kemba was the missing piece
You have to adjust to your best player.
Bruh they were gushing about him. Called him the franchise player when people were hating on him calling him a system player that would never be an MVP level play. Pop was pushing him to be great in the 2014 finals and said "screw the big 3 do you" But sure
Pop loved Kawhi and it was obvious. While the world gushed about curry, Durant, james, harden, Pop said that in his opinion Kawhi is the best player in the league because of how he does it on both ends of the court. Pop Is not one to praise his own player in front of media very often but he loved Kawhi and we all knew it. Even in the champions revealed video you can tell he loves Kawhi because of his demeanor. Very spurlike at ude. No flash all substance.
PATFO has their issues but they aren't dumb enough to alienate their future superstar. The problem was that the superstar pushed them away and was influenced by his family.
He was on his way to winning an MVP if not for this mysterious injury, he was on a team that had just made the WCF, and he was the star player and he was on his way to a supermax. How this thing broke down is just mind boggling.
kawhi was smart for turning down jordan. he’ll definitely make more bank.
i see what kawhi is doing on the raptors, always looking for green....his going to get green paid, while he takes his services back to cali
