Talent is there but he's still over-hyped. I wouldn't pick him with a top 5 pick. I'd go big or Doncic.
So clearly the posters claiming Kawhi is using this as an excuse to not play because he not committed to SA or that he is healthier than he was before and ready to go were wrong...you dont say tbh

Right. It sounds like he wants to come back. Maybe he's being too cautious, but it's a positive that his plan is to attempt another comeback.
How that doesn't mean Pop chose to not play him when you say he would rather sit him until he gets traded or he's commited to the team."From what I got from the conversation, Spurs have been irritated and would rather him sit out until he either gets traded or til he's mentally committed to the Spurs again. "
According your source Pop sits him. He was irritated that Kawhi wasn't mentally commited to the Spurs....And sat him.
You can explain all you want but that's what you said.

His uncle never played poker. Their hand is actually weak. They may want LA, but they want the Supermax as much, if not more. It’s a lot of money. That can also mean he’s not a rental, if they decide to trade. That money is a strong draw. The Spurs will certainly not trade him to the Lakers, like Indy refused to trade PG13 there. You don’t reward that kind of behavior. If he gets to the summer of 2019, only the team that holds his bird rights has the financial edge. A sign and trade at that point nets him nothing extra. Bird financial advantages no longer convey on those contracts as of the last CBA, just so there is a penalty for leaving, or forcing your way out. I’m not sure his uncle even knows that.
Anyone who is not a pussy, likes to play ball and is compe ive enough to be sick of watching his team go 1-3 on the RRT and is medically cleared to come back at least plays a few games and tries it out. Unless they are super anxious about not getting hurt before a big payday. Thing is, he's not really close to a big payday, considering he's got at least 2 years left on his contract. Assuming he auto-opts out of his player option year. It's becoming a joke, really, this waiting for him to sack up and play. Remember, he's playing for the most cautious team in the league. It's not like trying it out for a few games is going to Grant Hill him.
Gordon Hayward will return before him. The guy is reall made out of glass.
Lol you dont just develop autism in a summer
Kawhi is beginning to remind me a bit of Derek Anderson.
All the stories about miraculously overcoming a difficult background and prevailing unscathed and completely unaffected by any of it . . .
And then . . .
This whole thing is just so ing weird. I'm done trying to figure out what's going on and just going to let it play out. Soon enough we will all know what's up and whose sources (weather Rose's, Jabari's, or the handful of ST poster's) were telling them the truth.
I don’t buy the BS with Kawhi upset with SA training staff. If he didn’t feel up to it he shouldn’t have played. The most upsetting thing is we hear nothing from him at all.
This is what does not make sense. Is Kawhi dumb? How can he lose trust or have beef with SA when he knows their history of doing the best at keeping players safe/healthy. Does he really think they would not do everything they can to protect their best player?
They had TP with a worse injury and he’s back and playing.
Damn, it's just so hard to believe Kawhi would do what he did against Memphis, and GS game 1 to not wanting to play for the Spurs ever again. Something just doesnt add up.
TP was a ing warrior compared with Kawhi. Sure he had his share of random injuries but they were all legit (ankle sprains etc). He always (over) communicated to the Spurs, American and French press about his desire to come back and play, then his actions followed through each and every time. He also played international ball several years and won the EuroBasket the same year the Spurs went to the Finals. No comparison. One will hang in the rafters, the other is now a joke that needs to be traded.
Also note how silent Duncan has been on all of this. No show of support at all. Dude's probably laughing at how ty this guy has become, and is probably texting Pop to trade his ass ASAP
I don’t think anyone should act like they know what kawhi thinks. I do think that how SA has handled this has led to the environment we are in.
So why were spurs hanging up on people asking for a trade for kawhi?
Wtf?
Back in the days tp had an agent and his mom for his diet and the spurs.. kawhi has a whole team around him.. look at the Brady / Pats situation, same kind of BS..
Forget Trae Young, give me the T-Rex/Kevin Willis version of David Robinson, DeAndre Ayton
Pop choosing to sit Kawhi is actually not what I said or meant. You just need to read better. I quoted myself in multiple posts above that outline the situation clearly, before Woj said anything.
Mo Bamba.
Having your own guys vs having legit discord with the Spurs staff is very different things IMO. Especially to the point where you have rumors coming out from guys like Woj.
Trae Young is over hyped.
Tank to 11th and pray Mamba or Knox falls.
Seriously. I want to believe Jabari being close to the team can be trusted and the reporting is legit, but maybe that's just me wanting this to be over and Kawhi to be back on the court already.
