Lol. Ask him that question on Twitter and see how well it goes over. He blocked me about 3 or 4 months ago when I suggested he follow Kawhi wherever we trade him. He is a giant tool.
Can that socialist not drink for one ing meeting?

Either kawhis entourage went to the bathroom at the same time, like es do, or pop actually got his 1 on 1 meeting
Chill bro.
As others have said, if this picture is real/current - people shouldn't read too much into Kawhi's expressions.
It's just the future of the franchise, but it let's have some wine. Smh. These drunk s running the Spurs to the ground.
Looks like pop gots full control of this one tbh
Good photo
Whatever Kawhi decides I support him. Lifelong spurs fans should not be upset. Spurs dropped the ball if he doesn't wanna play here anymore. Can't be mad at a man who wants to chose his life destiny.
Time to get back to talking about lebron to spurs lol
Pops looks like he lost some weight. Im not too sure. This Photo isn't over on reddit. Usually news like this would blow up over there.
The team basically made him what he is today, so that bull .
I'm of the belief and always have been that Kawhi doesn't like playing with certain teammates. Time to let the old guards go and get Kawhi legit help.
Idk why it wouldn’t be current tbh...the timing and everything. When else
would pop and Kawhi be face to face like this? Especially when it has been reported that the face to face meeting hasn’t happened?
Someone could have a random photo of Pop/Kawhi sighting from the past (no timestamp on photo) that they are posting now to try and stir the pot. I think it is current, just always have to be cautious with these type of things.
Try to reverse image searh what restaurant this is from in NY.
There is a photo of Pop on Reddit, back in San Antonio, supposedly from last night. If both that pic and this pic of Pop and Kawhi are genuine, then this meal couldn't have been later than lunch in NYC. Which could mean that this meal may have precipitated the Jabari Young press release, i.e., Pop probably indicated to Kawhi that supermax was not on the table at the moment.
No results on tineye or GIS, so it hasn't been posted elsewhere that I have been able to find so far.
why on earth would they not be in a private room or a more secluded booth?

cgi deep fake
By the way found this photo randomly through the power of tweetdeck and hashtag searches (sometimes takes you deep down the rabbit hole).
Very impressive.
Could be some old photo that was never posted and is now posted for kicks.
Yep. There's that, too. But, again, if it's genuine, this may explain the sudden demand for trade...and the response from the Spurs that Kawhi haven't asked for a trade. Probably Pop told him that there was a lot of work to be done, and that it'd be premature to talk supermax, perhaps even tabling it until after next season. Kawhi's camp isn't happy about the conversation, so unleash all those "leaks" to Jabari and get the ball rolling. In the meantime, the team is caught offguard, and Kawhi's camp digs in and demands that all future meeting with Pop and Kawhi include the uncle/agent since everything will be negotiation from that point on.
Then again, all these pics could be fakes.
Anyways, here's the real deal
Never trade a top 3 player. You lose every deal. Even when the Magic let Shaq walk, trading him to LA wouldn't have helped. They'd have gotten back Elden Campbell or some other crap and still be ringless.
I would consider a trade for Doncic only because I enjoy watching him play and that he's so young. He might one day be a top 10 player. Kawhi can be #1 if he plays again like he's capable of and Lebron slips a little more.
Other than that, the media war of leaks vs leaks is a losing one for the Spurs. Next will be the Spurs leaking that they won't trade him, then Camp Kawhi leaking that he might sit out. It's all a waste of time.
Just get to the point. Leak that the Spurs care about his health more than anything and the Spurs will have him sit out the next season to get healthy.
Take that next bit of leverage away from Camp Kawhi and play that card first. And it shouldn't be a bluff either.
Not getting traded to LA for the next season will cost Camp Kawhi MILLIONS in endorsement money, and because he's the only client for those parasites, they will feel it, badly. Even if Kawhi is allowed to play in a Spurs uniform next year that gives them everything they need to line up endorsements when everyone remembers how good he is.
After he's held out for next year, it will take him months to get top of the line endorsement money. His lifetime earnings with the contract and the endorsement money will have been slashed by 10s of millions. Make it cost.
And that's it.
If Kawhi had come correct and been upfront about how unhappy he was with the roster or whatever, or being homesick, or whatever fake reason his vultures give him, and just played instead of quitting, the Spurs could have accommodated him. They don't keep guys from their money. They let Simmons out of his QO when they easily could have forced him to play. Same with Corey Joseph. They even helped Derek Anderson get more money in a trade when he shat all over the franchise on his way out.
But I say screw it. I don't even mind paying Kawhi the supermax, it's an easy call. Top 10 franchise players are worth it, and if he doesn't last, then it'll help the eventual tank anyway. Getting a player as good as him is too damn hard to trade him away.
But after he's screwed the franchise over like this at the order of vultures, I say burn them all. If he turns down a deal, sit him out.
