He’s a Filipino who has no life and enjoys being smug on internet fora. Give anyone a mask shielding them from accountability about their information and pretty much anything goes. Actually enjoyable to just see him pull whatever from his ass, the creativity is laudable.
That's the plan. Just streamlining it with ignore feature.
Right on.
I'm sure it has come down to or will come down to either Kawhi gets a new agent/representation (lose the uncle) or no max offer/trading you to whatever team gets us best package
A few years ago, I started a thread about trading Kawhi for Rudy Gobert.
lol
Walker can shoot. Murray has me used to athletic guys who can't shoot for .
This.
If the Uncle truly wanted what was best..letting go and allowing Kawhi to get 221M would prove that...
Or you can be a and have him lose 80M and play in Memphis and he can walk to the arena
I wonder how many times Woj and Shelburne can permutate and scramble their takes on the entire narrative until they run out of new slants for those loser Laker fans to retweet: “he still wants to go to the Lakers”, “the Clippers are now less appealing to him”, “the Sixers and Celtics don’t want to give up their best players”, before he actually says “Kawhi’s group is desperate to get him out of there but they won’t budge”. I would love for the Spurs to trade Leonard to another team NOT the Lakers or Sixers just to see Impact Sports and these “journalists” get mentally warped and lose credibility.
I’m sure Pop wants no part of his quitter ass on the team, and him bailing gives Pop the excuse to keep him out of the program, and thus the Olympics. LMA bailed a couple of times, and was persona non grata with the previous regime.
just trade his ass for Kemba. you know jordan wants Kawhi
^Anyone? Any recaps on reddit/the twitters?
Maybe. But how could the media spin it if Kawhi gets “held out” by Uncle Dofus....
Especially since he’s 100%....
I'm smirking already.
Kawhi has to walk to the All-Star game in New Orleans a year ago because Uncle D didn’t like the Spurs “controlling” by wanting Kawhi to leave early and beat traffic...
Probably best/ridiculous part of podcast
The team knows what's up.
You know why he is hiding from Spurs staff. Cos he is not injured.
Laugh. Out. ing. Loud.
Gmafb.
Pop and his team had to answer the same ing questions night after night after night and were getting nothing in the way of actual guidance from those fools.
At some point, you direct the questions to the people in the know. That is all that took place.
I'm with this.
I reckon they will. They'll never get back what he's worth & the last 6 months since this has been going on would've felt like a lifetime for Kawhi. There's no way he/Dennis will want it to go for another 12 months - more & more people are under the impression he tanked it when healthy. They'll crack eventually.
TMZ media types is already having a field day with the Spurs organization--see Stephen Jackass
As a former member of the sports media, this definitely sounds like a team prepping their fan base for a trade of their superstar. I don't know if the Spurs needed to pour more gasoline in Kawhi since most seem to already anti-Kawhi, but this will get a few more on their side.
Damn dude. He's just a potato...
Was looking for the link to the podcast since I was about to listen to it all and came across this on reddit:
Here's my quick write up from the full podcast for those that don't want to listen to the whole hour and 15 minutes.
- At the All Star game in NO a few years ago Kawhi and his group are at a hotel and the Spurs security tells them what time they need to get them out to get them to the game on time. Uncle Dennis says "no we're not doing this, this is when we're going to leave". They decide to leave when Uncle Dennis says and they end up stuck in traffic a block away from the hotel. The police end up letting them through but it would take them an hour and a half to get to the arena. They ended up having Kawhi get out, put a hood over his head, and walk to the Arena from the hotel.
- Uncle Dennis thinks the Spurs are too controlling but he doesn't have any experience representing any other players from any other teams.
- Spurs gave Kawhi and his camp complete control of his "rehab" starting August 8th. The rehab was controlled by his own doctors although Wright does not know if he really did shop around for a bunch of doctors or not. Spurs had absolutely no say in his rehab process at all which is why Pop would refer reporters to Kawhi's group when asked questions about his status.
- Wright thinks the Spurs were too accommodating to Kawhi and his group which is why all of this has happened. Says Kawhi realized he was a star in the league and wanted to be treated as such. In the words of Wright "Spurs gave him an inch and Kawhi took a mile".
- If Spurs offer supermax he thinks he would re-sign (because $$$ talks) but at this point the Spurs probably don't trust the people around Leonard enough to offer up that amount of money (would be 30% of their Cap). (This leads me to believe that the rumors about the Spurs not offering the supermax are true.)
- The Spurs have told Wright that they want to get Kawhi in a room ALONE. No Dennis, no one else speaking for him. Just Kawhi.
- The Spurs would get a call from Uncle Dennis saying "Kawhi wants this and that" but the Spurs would never know if it was really Kawhi's wishes or his Uncles.
- The Spurs don't believe that his Uncle has his best interest at heart but know that his Uncle means a lot to him due to the fact that he was there for him after his father was murdered.
- Wright did not write the story about Parkers comments because he knew exactly that it would be taken out of context as soon as he said it. He says the reports about Kawhi being betrayed by Tony's comments are excuses coming from his Uncle.
- The reason Kawhis teammates were frustrated and called a team meeting was because Kawhi's group kept throwing out return dates which would come and go. Eventually the team got fed up and confronted him about all the pump faking. Manu's comments a week or so before the team meeting seems to confirm that the team knew they were getting hit with the Okie Doke by Kawhi's group.
- Kawhi told them he would be back for the game against NO on March 19th which was picture day. Kawhi showed up for pictures but as soon as they started pre game shoot around he left. That night after the game they had the team meeting and two days later Kawhi left for NY and never came back to the team.
- Up to the point before the trade request in June Wright talked to multiple people in the organisation who were confident they could get Pop to sit down with Kawhi and iron everything out. The death of Pop's wife complicated things and it took a while for him to get the meeting with Kawhi. Kawhi didn't want to meet with Pop and did everything he would to avoid the meeting. At that point the trade request news came out.
- Kawhi's side feels like Spurs are leaking info that makes him look bad. Wright thinks those are excuses and that he just doesn't want to play in San Antonio. He doesn't see a good ending for either side here.
- Wright says people think he's exaggerating about Uncle Dennis but some of the things that he requests/demands are unrealistic. According to him some of the stories are hard to believe and he laughs when he thinks about them. (I should note that Jeff McDonald, another Spurs beat writer has compared Uncle Dennis to Lavar Ball).
- Kawhi doesn't want to go to the Lakers. His preferred destination is the Clippers but the Clippers have absolutely no assets that the Spurs want. He expects a dark horse team to come in and nab Kawhi in a trade.
- He does not see Kawhi handling the LA media scene very well. Says he was well protected from the media in San Antonio and doesn't think he is ready for an environment like that.
TL;DR: Uncle Dennis is literally Lavar Ball
