Kawhi Leonard wants OUT from the Spurs.

[Remote]

Here's what I dont understand.

When Kawhi first came in the league, he used wingstop coupons, his mom lived with him, and they had to beg him to spend money.

Hes got the same friend and girlfriend from college.

No mention of his uncle being involved in his life. Now all of sudden he wants to play in a bigger market.

Nothing Kawhi does says BIG market. I also think the big market thing in the NBA overrated. When's the last time a big market won a ring?

NYC is the biggest market and none of the big name players want to think about going there.

The Lakers had to change the front office and Magic in charge in order for players to even think about playing there.

Dallas and Chicago are huge markets , they never get considered in the NBA arms race.

I understand all the questions you're raising.
But I want to make this clear, at the expense of repeating myself constantly...

It's not so much that it seems Kawhi wants out. I'm fine with that. I think most Spurs fans are fine with that.
What is irritating are these leaks to the media, and not telling the Spurs directly what he's feeling. Just be up front and state your desire.
The Spurs have been a model organization for over 20 years. Can they get the benefit of the doubt that they've handled issues with players the right way? There's people here acting like Pop did some snake shyt because a player with a seemingly minor injury that none of the Spurs doctors could see as serious was out for the entire year, and Pop got annoyed with it.

the whole internet/spurs fan base bashing the uncle, we dont even know who the uncle is. Kawhi is a grown man, its his decision

they are used to that TD taking less money

you nikkas are miserable. Kawhi's dad got murdered at his car wash in Compton when he was in HS and Dennis Robertson stepped in to fill in the gaps and help Kawhi.

here's a little reference from the Spurs hometown newspaper...

Spurs' Leonard through his family's eyes

After Mark Leonard's death, Dennis Robertson assisted in any way he could, even though he knew his sister would protect her son.

“Our family has always been close,” he said. “It didn't change the way I looked at things. I was happy to be there so my sister wouldn't have to go through that process.”

Asked about his relationship with his uncle, Leonard said: “With my dad passing away, there aren't too many men in the family and he's a great guy to just talk to that has been through my experiences at my age. He's just been through life already; good guy to talk to.”

It was through his uncle that Leonard discovered financial discipline.

So far in his young basketball career, Leonard has made more than $5 million — more if endorsements are included.

Though his peers may enjoy it, he's not really into jewelry aside from a nice watch.

Dennis Robertson recalled a conversation he had with his nephew about the many athletes go broke after making millions. Leonard vowed to never join the list.

As he explained Leonard's financial discipline, he recalled Leonard wondering how he would transport his first car, a 2008 Chevy Malibu, to San Antonio. Some urged Leonard to just buy a new car.

“He said, 'Well, that's one's paid for,'” his uncle said.

How the fukk you gonna sit on the coli and dissect whether or not a nikkas relative has been in his life or not

TD was making the MAX from 2000 until 2012.

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

Saying the injury was “100 times worse” is some bytchmade slick shyt. Players are never supposed to speak on another players recovery time for injuries.

Seems like some Ralph Tresvant sensitivity shyt to me

How you in your feelings that hard over a comment that was hyperbole?

shyt and Tony's injury was worse he ruptured his entire damn quad tendon. They never spoke on his recovery time cause we never got a damn recovery time

I'm not saying it's the Spurs causing him

Like I said I don't recall. I was wrong.

Regardless, him leaving SA wont improve his financial situation.

Maybe he just hates the spurs organization so m

I was wrong then.

I'm not wrong in saying that Kawhi and a big market team are a great fit.

I'm also not wrong in saying that big markets are overrated.

People in L A want a good basketball team. More importantly they want the Lakers to be that team.

If he wants to play in LA I hope he's ready for everything that goes with it.

No matter what the Spurs get back from the trade, they’ll be better than the rockets

Spurs played without their best player without any replacements all year, people forget that

The word on the street is that his new agent is giving a percentage to his uncle in the agency. So their idea is to use Kawhi to show other players what they can do for them

They're about to cost Kawhi $30-50 million in order to get him a $10 million Sketchers deal in Los Angeles and will attract zero other clients after this shyt show

This whole charade is all about his uncle shaking him down, unfortunately Kawhi is playing the role of mike tyson

I know I said it's Kawhi's fault for letting them run his career but then I remember that he's a guy that chews on his own tongue looking confused Hopefully he doesn't give anybody power of attorney because that will be a heartbreaking 30 for 30

kawhi is autistic.
