    Leonard got paid by the Spurs and did not play. The only thing that was injured was his brain. He won a ring with Toronto using the skills taught to him by the Spurs staff. Toronto did not earn it or deserve it. It just happened. If Leonard leaves then the Raptors go back to a middle of the pack team. Some can argue that they got the Spurs ring, and rightfully so. The Spurs remain through it all the most superior franchise in basketball.
    I agree, but the problem is when you do what he did, and take it all the way, you basically have the forum to say whatever you want and people are going to believe you. That’s what’s happening right now. So the Spurs are taking these punches to the face.

    You mean Tony “my injury is 10x worse, why are they leaving Green open and watch out for your wife” Parker? What a teammate.
    I believe it was 100x worse, not 10x tbh....

    Not really. ...
    Yes, really. The Spurs docs issued a diagnosis, "quadriceps tendinopathy." It is malpractice to knowingly issue a false diagnosis. The docs were not lying (and they are not incompetent.)

    It was a real injury - unless we're accusing the Spurs docs of malpractice, or incompetence, and we don't want to go there. I hope.

    But given that, it is definitely arguable how significant that injury really was, six months later. It is unreasonable, it seems to me, to believe that a total alienation developed between Kawhi and the Spurs just because his leg might have still bothered him, sometimes. There absolutely had to be more to it than that. Other factors had to be at work, such as, for example, a manipulative uncle.

    How 'perfect' will it be when LAC swoop in on June 30th and sign him?

    What injury? I have no belief that he ever had a real injury at this point.
    Exactly. No injury.

    He was faking an injury if you know deep down what the truths is and “do not care what people think” there is no need to explain yourself.
    Exactly. He has to make sure he keeps mentioning the bs fake ass injury even since the previous playoff rounds where media started really eating up the bs.

    sometimes, how a reporter asks questions can push a narrative along. no one ever asked uncle or nephew if they were ever asked to shut it down for the year but declined to do so. no one ever asked leonard how much communication he had with the spurs organization while he was in NY. no one ever asked him why he's such a pussy because his players want to know if he can play or not and it hurts his feelings because they catch him off guard. no one ever asked uncle why his camp never disputed the notion that leonard would only play for a LA team, thereby handicapping what the spurs could get in return for him. leonard and his uncle are still manipulating the media to push along their 'holier than thou' version of events.
    If only Skip added this to his arguments

    Sad part is he has and used or insinuated on a couple of occasions the Durant situation like " see that could of been me" so aperfect narrative perfect example he wins a championship and everything coming up roses for that loser quitter. However karma is a and hopefully it comes back to bite him and his greedy uncle in the ass.

    many have thought about Durant being a ...punking out.....riding the coat tails to chip...but ask yourself who was the bigger no love lost hear for KD but the dude came out for his team that he supposedly already new he was leaving to help them win at the risk of his own career and free agency looming. To me kawitter holds the chip but also crowned the biggest fraud punk ass in the league.

    Of course he will say that. He likes a coach who coddles him, team mates that worship the ground he walks on and a fanbase that calls him King of the North.

    He didn't have fun playing for the Spurs where Pop would treat everyone equally, get on him when he made mistakes, teammates who held him accountable and a fanbase who loved him but realized the team matters more than any individual.
    Treated everyone equally?? LMFAO!!! that fable needs to die already

    So much prisoner of the moment bull going on. The bottom line is I believe as he gets older the spurs ultimately will be vindicated. Because this is not something that won’t happen again. It absolutely will happen again. He will be arguing with team doctors, and refusing to play basketball. As he gets older he’s not going to magically get healthier.
    U got can't get ur arguments straight... One day yall say no injury ever occurred, next day, yall saying he is injury prone... Get it together

    Kawhi literally did that same thing this year... Play through injury for a team he may leave in a month... And I can bet if Kawhi injured himself, ppl on here would laugh and say he is injury prone, but yall praising KD

    I have been incredibly consistent that he milked and faked his way out of San Antonio from day one. Are you finally ready to stop pretending you are even a fan of this team? What is your deal anyway?

    They questioned him privately, and he pulled a complete fit by running and hiding. That is the problem with this dude. You have to kiss his ass, never question him, and basically do every little thing to make him happy or he’s going to quit on you. Trust me it will happen again.

    are you serious? Huge difference between injuries KD who I am not a fan of was injured for a while and out of action a rushed back into the line up. Kawitter may have had a nagging injury but nothing that seemed career threatening or we all know he doesn't play. Besides he basically had to play could you imagine what it would of done to his career brand and reputation if he tried punting out on this team as well in the playoffs??? He would of torpedoed his career big time as a wussy injury prone who won't play through nagging injuries. Either way he a loser cause if he was as injured as you seem to think and he "pushed" himself for his new team but had his feelings hurt and quit on the team that made him well that's classless anyway.


    last thing the dude had his playing time monitored and played like 60 games and by his own words the media asked how he is playing at such a high level and he said it's because he is fresh and had good game load management. So don't compare a broken nail with Durante calf strain turned ruptured Achilles.

    He's arguably best player on the planet. A true two-way star, and here you are waxing poetic about the Spurs. Who gives a about anything but winning? The Spurs actually used to care about that, you know. This was the team that didn't give a Parker was porking Erin Berry for s sake.

    And, even if all that about Kawhi is true, who cares about coddling the man if it means he's going to continue to be that stoic-faced killer on both ends of the court?
    Stupid take. If all I cared about is winning I could just bandwagon a team with the most likely chance to win every year. Obviously there's a reason Spurs fans remain Spurs fans, and if that was only winning we'd be the most underwhelmed group in existence.

    Yeah, there was a feud and he left and the team he went to won the ing championship because he played like an absolute stud.

    Yeah, real winners the Spurs were here. Really feeling vindicated.

    Seriously, gtfo with the classy Spurs bull . Pop has created an awesome culture here and we had a great run but he plays favorites just like every other coach and it costed the team big time.

    The narrative is changing here suddenly. Number 2 based on all the reporting that last season with the Spurs wanted out because of LA. Not "Oh my god you Pop, you are pushing me to play Hurt" No it was Uncle Dennis wanting him in LA. That's all I heard from the talking sports heads. So lets say number 2 plays it out last season. We go as far as we go in the playoffs. Isn't he still leaving by asking for a trade? That was the word. It would have been the AD scenario in NO. So the drama was going to be there anyway. Health or no health. Real or Fake Injury.. He did NOT love SA and the team/org made him hate SA. He never loved being in SA at all..
