Since, no one can find anything wrong anymore (if that is indeed the situation) you have to wonder if there is a mental aspect to it. That said, Kawhi has to know he's jeopardising both his team's fortunes and a supermax payday. It would either have to hurt really badly or he must be convinced that further action will make the injury worse.
No one knows but Kawhi. And maybe he doesn't know for sure.
I was saying he could put the rumors to rest by addressing it. His silence only adds to the feeling he doesn't want to do what you say, i.e. say something he doesn't really believe. If he won't address it, then its easy to think there is a reason for his silence.
exactly. if there wasn't any substance to these rumors you have to imagine he would speak up.
i think it's more about lighting a fire under PATFO as well as contract gamemanship
I agree.
My $0.02 -
It is all mental. The Spurs have a couple of different opinions saying it is all healed. Kawhi feels pain and is SCARED his career is over. He keeps telling them it hurts and exaggerating it, and the Spurs are mad he isn't playing because the docs say it is cleared up. Kawhi is pissed because he doesn't agree. He is going to sit out the season and ask for the suped max, and once that is secured he will start playing. Then he'll get out of his head. Or maybe he does have a really really bad injury and he knows. He's just holding out for the supermax and will never be tbe same again. Would make sense.
RC changed his Facebook relationship status to "It's Complicated".
Kawhi is in his own head. With his uncertainty, he doesn't want to jeopardize the supermax, so he's gonna sit to prevent exposing himself as damaged goods.
You mean the widely recognized NBA gold standard?
As per usual, Chinook laying down the smack in a reasoned and mature manner.
Whoever wants to take patty, Gasol and lauvergne and trade back all playable assets 2 near all star and a role player i am all in for trading this guy away.
We can all agree that he has been a great player so far, but on paper he won an mvp on the big 3's back, sucked and then always have some trouble in the playoffs, matchups, injuries, whatever.
Let's buckle up, upgrade what we have left, and get rid of patty horrible contact.
If we can land LeBron for him great, if not we need pieces right now.
The spurs cannot rebuild from scraps, we need to always be compe ive, and the Kawhi drama is dragging us down.
You don't say that in public.
This is officially amateur hour for our front office. They are close to losing the plot entirely..Now you can see how much Duncan has covered up for this franchise. The more Buford awkward ass gets to speak and address hitherto unexisting dysfunction, the more he sounds like just another mediocrity..
Kawhi's silence through all this is deafening.
When did he say it in public? I've yet to see a direct quote. It was misquoted by David Aldridge, unless he got a direct interview with RC which seems unlikelyYou don't say that in public.

Looking at the team struggling an Kawhi just sitting on the bench, while we not know what's really going on is frustrating. I know we're just fans, but I spend my hard earned money on the Spurs. May it be games, Spurs team pass, Spurs gear, etc. I feel we deserve answers.
but Kawhi is a leader
Kawhi strikes me as a guy who doesn't think he needs hundreds of millions, because I cannot see him living a lavish lifestyle because he's an introvert. I'd think his decisions are based on how his game is affected, not necessarily how his financial future is affected. Dude never has to work again, ever. He surely knows this.
I don't care.
He has stated he wants to be the best player in the world and win more championships.
His front office is handing out 50 million dollar thank you for your service deals to guys who can't play against the primary compe ion in the west and his coach is lecturing the players on civil rights in the film room instead of focusing on improving the on court product. What did Manu say the other day? "We have so much to work on". But Pop thinks lecturing a bunch of 1%ers on social justice is going to help them get past the Warriors and Rockets.
Can you blame him? The kid is a gym rat and singularly focused on being the best.
There was never really any dysfunction because of Tim TBH. Tim was always the ultimate team player, and big brother in that locker room. Sacrificing his game for years to make it work, bring in other players, and win rings. Yes we are seeing more issues internally now that the ultimate team franchise player has called it a career. Last year masked some issues because Leonard was so good. Now we see them..You don't say that in public.

There's a lot of truth to this...
Please stop talking....... you're not very bright!
I hope that you aren’t leading anything....... anything!! Oh let me guess, you’re trolling or just dense?
No, you.
