Youre absolutely right and these blind fareweather spurs fans here in San Antonio dont even realize its about to get 100% worse. I give it 1 maybe 2 more years before the Spurs are finishing in the bottom of the western conference wining 25-30 games a season. Kawhi could have attracted free agents to come to tbis small town matket, now they have nobody here that can do it, this team is plummeting faster then a rock thrown in the San Antonio river

Idk....Was Kawhi really hurt? I think he was just forcing his way out of San Antonio.....everyone is working under the assumption that the team doctors were just saying whatever they had to in order to get Kawhi back o. The court......but I haven't seen anything or heard from anyone that says Kahwi's private doctors told him it was detrimental to play......where are the doctors with a different opinion on his healthy diagnosis? As for KD....Sounds like he was cleared by the team doctors and his private doctors (according to reports cuz I don't know any of these people 😁)......Maybe KD's injury wasn't related to the calf injury......idk....folks get injured sometimes....

The last time we picked low was last year when we got Lonnie Walker. And he wasn't a lottery pick. We won 5 championships and have been to the playoffs over 20 years in a row with only one number one pick.

Think issue was Paul GEORGE had he not stayed in OKC the lakers had more room to negotiate a betta trade. Hopefully Kawhi beats warriors then goes to the Clippers if he leaves Canada. Say trade Lamarcus back to Antifas in Portland n send Demar back to Canada n just build on the young cats. WORST TRADE in SAS history.

q dude was hiding away and didn't want to meet up with Pop. He knew he was being shady. Oh nobody brings this up. But he also pulled out of Jordan brand cause he wasn't their focus point on branding. Now he signs with New Balance where he's the top paid with a signature shoe. All his actions were indicative of someone trying to build a brand for himself but first he had to find an excuse to leave a team where the culture is everyone shares the spotlight.

I still have love for Kawhi and Danny Green as a Spurs fan, but Kawhi straight up quit on us over something the SPURS would NEVER gamble with, and that is his health and future with the team.... Pop is notorious for making players rest even when they want to play. Im sorry, but xrays and mri tests dont lie, it was nothing he couldnt play through.... plain and simple, Magic Johnson was in his uncles ear and shooting deals and promising him the moon to just not play and pretend he was too hurt... so much that kawhi was so unlike himself and not reporting to his team... a team that made him and believed in him enough to trade a star in the rise(especially if he would of stayed a spur, George Hill) .... I understand there was nothing that could be done... he was never gonna admit "ahh, ok you got me...... i wasnt that hurt, i was just upset that you didnt believe me"..... all that stuff Tony said was besides the point.... if he said it, its because they knew keeping him was a lost cause.....its all gonna come out one day.... Kawhi is young and naive, and he will come to find that not even his uncle was a true friend when its all said and done....

I’m a Spurs die hard fan since the ABA days. The Spurs had a choice from the onset. Nothing happens without the approval of Pop. Pop could have squashed the entire unfortunate series of events easily. I love Pop but he blew this one. This was about a culture of egos. Tony Parker’s antic was the nail in the coffin for my Spurs! This is a guy (Tony) that was busted sexting his teammates wife (Erin), subsequently Tony’s wife Eva filed for divorce and Brent his teammate also ended up divorcing his wife. This is the guy you want to go to battle with?? Seriously, he threw Kawhi under the bus. I don’t often agree with SAS however this one he hit out the park!!

From 1999-2017, the Spurs won 50 games each season, which set a record of 18 consecutive 50-win seasons. Kawhi is a great player, but the Spurs have consistently dominated the league with their 'big 3' (Parker, Ginobili, Duncan) and still managed to make the playoffs without any of them this season.

Your best player tells you that he is not ready to play, you question his word and you send Tony and Manu down in front of everyone. And as the human is easily influenced, some without really asking the question began to treat Kawhi as a liar, to the clasher then leave it was his best decision ...

Fact: Popovich was dealing with the painful last days of his wife, and he kept it under his hat, because he wanted to keep his personal life out of the news as much as possible in this internet age.Fact : Tony Parker is a grown up, mature man , he should be responsible for any and all comments he made. Speculation: Kawhi Leonard is a young man, and might not be averse to going back to California where he could be closer to his family, especially in the light of outside influence ( uncle, whoever). Projection: In five to seven years,he might let go of the hurt feelings and perceived slights that a top organization MIGHT have done to him. Special players like Leonard have an intense relationship with their coaches ( but not necessarily close) and the pain of perceived betrayal becomes magnified. It's like dating a girl when you are very young, both parties say and do things that they would like to take back. Having lost a loved one to a short but intensely painful illness last year, if I was a world class superstar athlete ,I would give Pop a pass and wait an extra season to sort out this mess which we call life.

manaharav - Only one thing you said is actually true, and that's his uncle's involvement on the professional side of Leonard's life. Many times for a man to mature he needs to get away from family and create his own life. For Leonard, the best thing for him to do is stay as far away from Los Angeles as possible, especially having his uncle managing him, because there is too much tugging from too many sides. Mixing money and family tends to create more problems than it actually solves and that's a storied life lesson told by so many atheletes after they've retired.

Definitely one of the oddest circumstances in sports history. At the end of the day, I still feel like Kawhi didn't wanna play in San Antonio, and now the narrative has shifted in his favor.

Funny how certain events in your life come full circle. During the 2017 Playoffs, Kawhi Leonard and the San Antonio Spurs were going head to head against the Golden State Warriors in the WCF and had a 20+ point lead in Game 1 until Zaza took away Kawhi's landing space on a jump shot and injured him for the rest of the Playoffs. While that may not have been the only injury that sidelined him, we didn't see Kawhi back in the Playoffs until 2019. He started right back from the bottom, in the hopes of making it back to the top, to go to war against the team that ended his Playoff run 2 years ago. Last night Kawhi did it. He conquered the East and returned to the NBA Finals. He now has another shot, this time with the Toronto Raptors, to get his redemption on the play that cost the Spurs a chance at competing. While Zaza isn't there, he doesn't need to be. This is about Kawhi and his journey from injury to champion. This series is going to be fun. 🔥

Couldn't we just feel grateful for the fact that Raptors' hard work finally pays off? These players endure the pain and injuries and show sth more worthy than just win-or-loss. Just after Raptors win the Eastern Conference Champions, there are non-stop news exaggerating the conflicts about the trade. The point is, Kawhi has the opportunity to show he's one of the best when he's in Raptors. We are happy that Toronto is a great stage for him and his development is extraordinary. The friendship between Lowry and DeRozan is valuable, and shouldn't be doubted only because of one trade. Please just let these guys focus in the game, and stop making up stories. I couldn't say Kawhi, Gasol immediately becomes the best pals with the rest of Raptors. But they are TRYINGGG, and the champion is the proof. These are all respected basketball players and I love them no matter which team they are in.

As a spurs fan since 97, when the trade first happened I was very bitter for a while. All my time watching Spurs, I never saw them have problems such as this with players of Kawhi's caliber. Its hard as a spurs fan to see my favorite team in a negative light, so I automatically turned on Kawhi and his decision not play and ultimately get traded. All we know is what we were told by media members, there's no telling what really went down in the locker room and front office concerning Kawhi and his injury. It's sad, it's unfortunate when u consider how good the spurs could've been these past couple years if it was handled better. Now that time has passed, I see It was wrong for spurs fans to turn on Kawhi considering all he did in his time with the team, and considering we don't really know the full story. Hes an amazing player and the spurs got a solid playerin Demar that they can try to build the offense around. Wish Kawhi nothing but success

Since he played this season without looking cripple, he could have played last season with no problem. The way Kawhi treated his injury, youd think it was something major, but there he was on opening night of this season, playing like normal for the Raptors. I just find it hard to believe that all he needed was a summer to get himself back to elite status. He just didn't want to play for the Spurs anymore, and used an exit that didn't make him look bad. Fact that his uncle is bringing up the Spurs now just goes to show how salty Kawhi is.

He saw his "injury" as an opportunity to use SA's anti-drama culture to force his way out of town. He didn't want to be there - pure and simple.
