    From the Spurs inside intelligence, they concluded he was not worth it. Very telling, IMO..

    I wonder what clinched PATFO decision in that regard. I think it could be as simple as they stopped trusting this guy on a basic human level.

    I'm thrilled PATFO didn't lock up a fragile Leonard long term. Spurs dodged a huge bullet.

    Too much drama if he wasn't willing to part with his re ed uncle. Not worth it.

    I think Pop and co. could have swallowed their pride more, but it just hard to rationalize it when the other party straight up go for the jugular and quit on the team/organization-- not just by simple lack of effort/whining, the guy flat out deserted..

    Speculation but I think Kiwi wouldn't relinquish the control he had gained over his medical care. It's why the medical issue became such a massive headache. It was one of the issues that created a hindrance and it was leaked Kawhi wouldn't give up the medical information without a DPE max on the table. His camp then said he's 96% to 97%. How could PATFO trust that without seeing medical information? How could they when Kawhi was hid from the Spurs in NYC. Considering the season Kawhi had health-wise, how could they offer such a huge contract without a real commitment. The first show of trust was the medical information and his care returning back to the Spurs.

    Or maybe it was all just a bad gamble from Uncle that backfired. But as you said trust was broken.

    If Kawhis medical care was going to remain the same as this past season and they didn't work that out satisfactorily, there was no pride swallowing that would have worked out.

    Any time dude bent a fingernail he was going to have to go to NYC and disappear.

    @ the thought of paying a guy $40 mil a year who averages like 60 games a season. Good riddance.

    So Pop did him a solid and traded him to where he is a 1.5hr flight away from his autist cave in NYC.

    Hindsight is 20/20 but, yeah, should've at least flipped him in that Clippers offer (12/13 + Harris)..

    The lack of upside/potential in the Raptors return is just disgusting..not even getting OG?

    No way you give supermax to a player who can’t even look his HC in the eye.

    I said Kawhi was in the wrong from the beggining and am glad he is gone. With that said I am stuck with this ing name now . Pretty sure 2k5 needs to be on suicide watch
