It was time. I'm over it. Fresh start, let's go.
I blame him for TP leaving and Manu retiring, tbh. His pussy antics left a sour taste in their mouths. He didn't just kill this past season, he killed what was left of The Big 3.

I hate Kawhi but you are overreacting. I felt the last few years Manu was career wise like Wizard's Jordan. Sure he had his moments where he was vintage Manu but in a lot of games you could see he was old and washed up. I'm glad he's retired.
Age killed the Big 3. Kawhi's going to regret losing the chance to be a Spurs legend. On to the next era. LMA, DD, Gay, DJ, White, Walker, Poeltl, Bertans,... playoffs here we come.
Blame him all you want, but without him, the Spurs would only be 4-time champions.
I just want to blame Kawhi period
No, Tim has knee problems and decided to hang it up. Parker left for Charlotte to get more playing time and Manu decided to not give it another season (when it will probably end with Warriors beating the Spurs again).
Sad it's over for the big 3 era but they were one of the best ever should have won more than 4 championships together (Parker, Duncan, Manu).
Still 5 time champions, tbh. He ed us by missing free throws in Game 6, tbh.
I am happy to blame Kawhi for anything, rational or not, tbh.
The Big Three era needed to end. Going from that to DeRozan and LMA wasn't ideal, but if it can lead to Murray, Walker and Poeltl becoming something good, then it's better than most people could have possibly hoped for when considering how the team would look in 2018 and beyond. I don't regret Manu and especially Tony not being on the roster anymore, though I'm still peeved about what SA got back from the Leonard trade. Still, I think that over all, this summer has more of an astringent feel than anything else. Sure, it burns now, but it leaves everything cleaner for the future.
He definitely sabotaged 2018 playoff run. Undeniable. Hate him.
Manu probably didn’t want to continue knowing he had no shot at winning. He wasn’t in it for the money, he was a true win at all costs compe or.
On the Kawhi note I really hope they don’t retire his jersey in SA. It would piss me off seeing his name there next to real Spurs Family /Royalty
Agree a lot! Ahh... The beauty of being human!
The future is now. I don't need my shades just now, but I'll keep 'em close at hand. Manu for one last solo season would have made me sadder than saying "adiós." "Astringent" is a good description of the way I feel.

Agree. Kawhi destroyed a lot of things in the end. Manu would have played one more year, I think, if Leonard hadn't been such a puss-ass crybaby asshole loser.
He also drove Timmy into retirement tbh....
They would be at least 5x champs if he doesn’t miss the free throw to seal G6 in 2013. Spurs probably pull out 2014 also, so maybe 6x.
er also got Trump elected tbh.
Kawhi thought the whole "Martha" thing in Batman v. Superman was a good idea.
His play helped us get another championship. I am grateful for that. But I hope the rest of his career tanks horribly..
I just hope FO quits worrying about that playoff streak and whatever streaks the Spurs with them had. The big 3 era is over that was all about Duncan, Manu, Parker and Pop. We still have Pop but if they miss the playoffs it happens all the time in the NBA, Spurs could definitely use an off year to get a high draft pick. Going 2 decades without being top 5 in the NBA draft is crazy.
Obviously they want to make the playoffs this upcoming season and compete for an NBA championship but those streaks have to end sooner or later.
It’s not about Manu/TP being gone now; that was probably for the best basketball-wise. But they were on the team last season and Kawhi was a b*tch.
