Kawhi had quad problems his rookie year I believe.
I blame Kawhi 100% for his poor handling of the situation. He and his camp were so nebulous when it came to progression during rehab. At one point Pop tried to let the team and media know that they had to move forward as if he would not be available, then shortly after, Kawhi's camp dangled the carrot of him possibly being ready for the playoff run. Promises came and went.
At some point the team needed to figure out if Kawhi had any real intention of rejoining the team, so they called a team meeting. If Kawhi can't be a man a take those comments by Parker and use them for motivation, then by all means, let him hit the pavement.
I still feel like this was completely overplayed by Kawhi's camp to use as an excuse to force a trade.
I for one wanted to hear it come out if Kawhi's mouth, but evidently that ship has passed.
Quit blaming Uncle Dennis, Kawhi is a grown man. Any power he gives his uncle is on him personally. He can't hide behind his sister, uncle, or medial team forever.
Had Kawhi acted like a man and told the Spurs organization that he wanted out if SA to go play in his home town, I think there would be logical understanding, and some modi of respect would have remained intact, but as it is, he let it come to this.
I have no doubt that as time passes, more will come to light placing responsibility on Kawhi.
Tony Parker hurt my feelings. ..waaah-waaah. Give me a break.Trade in the tic-tacs for something a bit larger Kawhi.
Ironically, I was cleaning out my classroom before I shut it down for the summer break, and I came across a San Antonio Express article about TD leaving 53 million on the table for the betterment of the team.
TD spoiled us.
Look on the bright side, we are playing with house money turning over a 29th pick for talent or picks in excess of the original pick.
Going to doctors until they tell you what you want to hear...brilliant plan.
Adios Kawhi

Of course the Sixers doctor would tell him to shut it down for the season
