    In a recently published feature in the Toronto Star, Nurse said that he and Leonard talked for a significant period of time, excitedly chatting about diagrams, Leonard’s role on the team, and what would be to come during the 2018-2019 NBA season.

    Via The Star:

    Surely, as the basketball talk with Leonard went on for some 45 minutes — and Leonard, in Nurse’s words, “lit up like a Christmas tree,” at one point rising to join Nurse diagramming schemes on the whiteboard — Nurse must have been breathing a sigh of relief. The incommunicative enigma who somehow had a falling out with the gold-standard franchise in San Antonio wasn’t some petulant nightmare. Instead, he sounded very much like a typical NBA player concerned about how he’ll fit with his new team, not to mention an elite NBA player deeply hooked on the game’s intricacies.

    “We could have gone forever. (Raptors management) kept knocking on the door and I was like, ‘A couple more minutes.’ Because we were really into it,” Nurse said. “It was fun to listen to his take. He asked me, ‘How are you going to use me? Where are you going to get me the ball? What do you see?’ And I told him, ‘Listen. To me, you can do pretty much everything. You can post. You can drive. You can handle it up the floor. You can play screen and roll. You can come off pindowns.’ I said, ‘Did I miss anything?’ He’s like, ‘No, that’s about it.’ I said, ‘You’ll probably be doing all that stuff.’ ”

    I disagree it probably did last 45 minutes except that Coach Nick did all the talking while Kawhi gave a simple yes or no every 10-15 minutes.

    It just doesn't sound like Kawhi at all to have a conversation that could have gone on forever, Raptors management knocking on the door and them asking for a couple more minutes to talk? When you consider Spurs legends and current players and coaches that hardly ever talked to him. Remember Robinson said he barely only ever heard Kawhi say about 10 words. This just seems like too much of a rosey rainbow spin on things that is unlike Kawhi. Unless he is going to buy into the Toronto philosophy to up his free agency value next summer. I do wonder which Kawhi the Raptors are getting. The guy who we thought was a perfect spur, the guy who sits out the whole season who someone else?

    I have heard one rumor where Kawhi was actually really talkative in college and this quiet guy persona was new when he came to the Spurs. Maybe he has been faking his whole quiet guy persona all these years and is about to turn into a loudmouth outspoken social media responding tool aka Kevin Durant lol

    The more he speaks the more re ed he sounds so he should just shut his mouth though
