It's no coincidence this franchise seems to have gone full-re once Duncan retired.
It was a team meeting.

Wasn’t Kawhi the finals MVP that year?
If, at any point, the Spurs decided they didn't want to offer the supermax because of advice from the medical team...all blame should be off Kawhi tbh....
Sure, he handled it in the giest way possible but there's about 2-3 players in the league worth the supermax no matter what and if the Spurs/medical staff were to stupid to see that then props to Kawhi and his group for proving how stupid they were tbh.....
Doesn't matter if he sits 70 games during the regular season, what you're seeing from him this postseason run is worth it, easy.
Sad thing is they were that team before (jettisoned Jack, Finley, told guys like Monty Williams and Avery that they were too ing old.
Now they're giving out loyalty deals to bench warmers and throwing away generational talent to preserve culture. Sad.
Def. He was the alpha and leader of the organization. Pop/RC thought it was them once Timmy retired and I don't blame them after they go to the WCF with Kawhi/Aldridge...but they should have realized it was Kawhi, not them.
Instead, they give out thank you contracts to Patty and Pau and ask Kawhi to take a paycut...
the league is and always will be for the players, so even Pop, who is clearly the best coach in history (especially for players), will never have the impact that Duncan, Kawhi, D-Rob and other superstars have had.But but but who you gonna get to replace Pop the GOAT?
Nick Nurse first year head coach.
Kawhi could have easily taken the supermax in SA all he had to do was ask for it nicely. He did something else (hiding from POP leaking to the media), who knows.
Where does this put him on the pantheon of small forwards if he pulls off one win in the next three games?
- Lebron (isn’t really a SF, but Duncan’s not really a PF) and Bird are 1-2
- Then it’s Pippen and Durant
- But then? Dr. J? Baylor? Worthy?
- Definitely ahead of Pierce, Rick Barry, etc.
I’d have to put him in that second tier
Kawhi called Lowry his quarterback. I wonder what he would have called Tony.
they killed rasual butler for the sport!
Only behind LeBron.
This one season >>>>>>>>> Bird's entire career, tbh.
His knifeinbackKawhi called Lowry his quarterback. I wonder what he would have called Tony.
I hate Load Management but we wouldn't have made the Finals this year with him because we don't have Toronto's depth especially without a healthy Murray. And we would've lost most of his load managed games too.
And they'll probably extend 20/6/6 to a $30+ mil/yr contract.
Man, too many people in their feelings
This just makes me more convinced we had a legit chance in 17 if Kawhi wasn't taken out.. Aldridge was killing them too when the attention was on Kawhi. Oh well, no point in dwelling on that.
Kawhi is a monster, best player in the league, he's having a goat playoff run, just unbelievable.
I mean, sure Pop and Patty and the crew would probably it up.....but Kawhi on the team instead of Derozan/Poetl and the Dubs with all their current injurie... and the Spurs are probably in the Finals with no East team able to stop them....
You're posting in the Kawhi thread, dummy.Man, too many people in their feelings
Exactly, just enjoy him ending the Warriors. Bittersweet, but some payback for Zaza.Man, too many people in their feelings
kawhi is already better than lebron all time
This is what happens when you win a trade so overwhelmingly. Just like Pau to the Lakers or KG to the Celtics.
White/Green/Kawhi/Gay/LMA would have been fine enough for a 2nd seed in the West and considering how weak the entire West was this year, we would have been a conference finals threat. This current roster was always a first round exit.
