Do we want a player who is willing to fake an injury?
Why was all of this framed in terms of an injury?
Why not just give the Spurs (your $20 million/year employer) a chance to address your real concerns?
I know, I'm just old fashioned . . .

Or maybe they're just messing with the Lakers at this point, with no intention of actually following through on any deal with them. Just because...
Mother er got damn right there are rules. How do you think that Gregg Popovich coached teams that won five NBA championships in three consecutive decades? He would've had six but some mother er couldn't get a rebound back in 2013. this . And how many Super Bowls did your Cris ing Carter win? your dumbass uncle you goddam deaf mute stop hiding behind his skirt.
And so on.
If I was Magic I would just keep Ingram and Kuzma and wait for Kawhi to show up drooling to sign with the Lakers next season. Spurs should have pulled the trigger on a deal before James signed. Now that they have him they have less pressure to make a trade unless the Cousins signing has increased the need for another superstar. It would be foolish to give Ingram and Kuzma up knowing Leonard wants to be there next season.
We still don't know what was on the table before LeBron signed, it's possible Magic has been low balling the Spurs the whole time, offers won't get any better. They may give up Ingram for Kawhi because of the Cousins signing but I wouldn't if I was Magic.
PG doing the Lord’s work.
I wanted to come here a year ago prior to going to OKC. Unfortunately, I wasn't traded to the Lakers. The Lakers didn't grab me. I was traded to Oklahoma. And that has been a beautiful thing for me."

I think they are making a legit effort for Kawhi's sake. I suspect the honest conversation they had with him is that he would be traded if the Spurs got a good haul for him. Pop admitted he had a similar conversation with Lamarcus where they told him they wouldn't get enough for him to make it worth their while, but they tried. I think they are trying, but don't have to take scraps or offers that are not sufficient.
Just my belief that I don't think Spurs would be dishonest.
Done deal.
Idk if you've watched parks and rec but he reminds me of Jean Ralphio
lol at the entire NBA.
"spurs losing leverage"
"spurs just need to bite the bullet"
"just trade him to LA and get it over with"
"risk losing him for nothing"
spurs just laughing at everyone saying it
You are monumentally naive. LeBron set up and funded Klutch, and staffed it with friends and family. He’s also their chief recruiter. The Group is definitely trying to take a few pages out of that book, and Kawhi will definitely be heavily involved.
I am not being naive... I think you missed the point of what I was saying but it's fine. I know about Klutch and lebron's own group. It's possible Kawhi is more involved than he looks to be, but I do think the Uncle is a lot more into that stuff than Kawhi himself is. Maybe I misjudge Kawhi himself but it's too difficult to identify this as not coming from the Uncle when it wasn't an issue b4.
I'd bet money that's probably the root of this.
It's the first salvo in the, "I'm a modern day slave" argument.
getting ready for the trade
Spurs should just keep him at this point. Let him play out the season and see what happens.
Laker media trying to drive the price down.

Yeah, probably.
You guys making a big deal about 400 page threads haven't seen anything. I think "Kersey for Abdur-Rahim" hit 2,700.
Condoms and the three point line. Oops
This is exactly what I said happen. I said that is why LA is probably actually pissing Kawhi off right now too. Kawhi is taking a huge PR hit and risk forcing his way there and LA is basically saying “you aren’t worth Ingram/Kuz/Hart+picks AND we want to be able to pay you 45M less than you can get”.
They are truly going to alienate Kawhi which is why you see Cris Carter saying what he’s saying, why you are hearing the Clippers rumors and even Jabari is saying Kawhi would consider re-signing with PHI now. Kawhi needs to push LA to do a big deal or truly risk losing him like they did PG.
La has sucked for 5 years, will still be mediocre with Lebron and they are basically telling Kawhi “nah, we can wait?” Idiots.
