He was a winner and a true compe or. He would never tolerate that bull with somebody on his team. Especially a team that had actual championship aspirations. He is just basically trolling on TV now.
It was McDermott's daughter who recommended Pop, right?

Worse than typical holdout. At least when players do hold out they speak up and have a reason. Never seen this big of a crier since durant lebron carmelo. ..... oh todays nba where your dad can get you drafted
All these sports networks want Kawhi in LA so they are going to be one sided when it comes to being honest about what's going on. If Kawhi was pulling this in NYC or LA he would be getting but since it's SA it's ok to do.
Dude i am so lost with this. I need Sean Elliott to explain it to me.
Spurs played nice last season. If he continues to refuse to play despite being cleared then I suspect he'll be suspended by the team without pay. Holdouts occur in the NFL but not really in the NBA.
What happened is his uncle and his agent have no other clients and are trying to build their businesses off him. They ran off the experienced NBA agent in their group who had a very good relationship with the Spurs. The current agent doesn't represent any other NBA players and I think he has been a NFL agent. You have to assume Leonard is comfortable with this plan to make Leonard into a bigger star and parlay that into attracting more clients. It's ed up because for Leonard personally the deterioration they've caused in the relationship with the Spurs likely has ruined his chances at getting a good part of the supermax extension.
Like I always say:
You might get what you want, but you might not want what you get.
Very well said!!
This. It's so strange to hear the media bury the Spurs for doubting Kawhi's injury and then turn around and take it for granted he could continue to sit out if they don't give him what he wants (a trade to LA); It's like they too think he was faking, yet, want to pounce on the Spurs because a) its their first chance in 20 years and that makes it a story in itself and b) Kawhi and Lebron in LA is good for their TV ratings. Screw parity for small markets.
either way Kawhitter is a piece of . i hope we dont hang on to this autistic
All very plausible and insane. You have to think for yourself Leonard. If this is what you really want fine, but if you let yourself be manipulated by your Uncle to put yourself in this spot, shame on you. Grow up and be a man already. You are 27..
At this point it's clear the dude is on the autism spectrum tbqh
So this got is now intentionally tanking his value by telling teams he will only resign for the Lakers.
Like seriously, any supposed Spur fan who is still caping for this disgrace is devoid of any dignity and pride. Simple as that.
David Aldridge is well-respected around the league. Now marinate on this Spursfans ^..
FkLA from the other the thread..Nothing to add reallyThe balls on this mute to say no to the GOAT coach and model franchise, who are willing to make a pretty big financial commitment to win. I can imagine a still grieving Pop bringing the fire at the thought of what they could do next year together, promising to win the West. And I can imagine this brainwashed, mute with a blank expression the whole time and then silently muttering "nah I'm good". ing back stabbing, treacherous piece of .
I'll be rooting for that quad to gangrene and explode on this disgraceful ..This is how he treats his mentor coming off a personal tragedy? him..
Kawhi is really qualified to do only two things:
1) Play professional basketball.
2) Be a mime.
And you didn't see Marcel Marceau sitting out whole seasons.
Like I said all along, it's all about kawhi lost trust in the franchise, after they let him down over and over again those past years since last le, not being all about winning with a lot bs in their minds and being too cute while him being all about winning and all business... Now they trying to fix it but it's too late, he made his mind up and have to keep true to himself with this decision... Fans here should stop rant about kiwi and start putting the blaming fingers on pop and co...
2015. he got his hit pushed in by Matt Barnes in his first year as the guy
2016. Andre Robertson imposed his will. He was an MIA in a crucial Game 2 vs the Thunder..
2017. He was in Conference Finals courtesy of the team winning a Game 6 on the road and clutching out a Game 5 WITHOUT HIM in the fourth Quarter and OT
He then QUIT on them. Disgusting cowardice..He absolutely has no room.
Pop and co quit the team since last le, Pop being full of himself, soft and too cute, not carring enough about winning with such a bad managment and coaching, Pop: "winning is great but vacation is good also", Pop not about winning anymore, caring too much about politic, media looking and loyality, Kawhi just put Pop and co in their Place somthing the fans should have done long ago instead making him a god, now Pop and fans got what they deserved!

Pop cared about winning your full of . In '15 he actively went after LMA and David West along with adding Simmons. In '16 the Spurs added David Lee, Dedmon, Gasol which were great additions. Spurs would have won in '16 if Zaza didn't take out Kawhi so you can't say the Spurs weren't focused on winning. You have right to about their moves in '17 but outside of that the Spurs have been super committed to trying to put together a championship team. if Kawhi played this year they would have had a chance to beat Golden State.
and what about 2014, staying put? that season was such a miss oportonity to repeat, Pop was so too cute and soft with his coaching also, that when he help bigtime to form the warriors by gift them the first le, since then spurs one step behind and a messed up team cause Pop took a year of and not doing enough to recover cause he also have a lot bs other than winning in his mind...
Spurs got screwed with a lot of injuries in 2015 which put them in a bad situation seeding wise. Splitter was playing with a broken calf during the playoffs, Parker was also hurt with a major injury and experienced a significant drop off. It just wasn't meant to be in 2015. I doubt Pop could predict the future and see that his team was going to have a load of injuries during the summer of '14. I didn't blame him for keeping that team in tact because I felt they were also good enough to win it all again and probably would have had they not been hit with all those injuries. Also the Spurs tried to get Gasol in the summer of '14 but ended up losing out on him due to Chicago offering him more money which the Spurs couldn't match due to being over the cap.
With "fans" like you I guess I don't blame Kawhi for wanting to leave. Smh
