Hate these type of articles.
Most of the time it’s sensationalism by trash ass writers too.

If you've ever been on a team you know that it's impossible for this not to be true.
Same shyt happened to the 2013 Lakers (or was it 2012? or both?) when Kobe wasn't doing full practices.
It just kills team chemistry when you have one player who doesn't participate with the rest of the team on the normal day-to-day shyt. If that guy appears to have his own rules and there are egos involved, it gets even worse. Raptors made it work because they were already established and secure together with veteran leadership so Kawhi was slotted in to a team that was already playing great even while he sat. But Clippers didn't have that vet leadership stability to hold things together and had too many egos involved.

They create riffs within teams and cause issues for players. Apparently AI, Melo and TO are “cancers” to their teams, most teammates would only say good things about the first two, and TO playing in a cac league so that’s his life choices

Damn that, give this reporter the Pulitzer
you’re right, I can’t forget how much shyt that bozo Bev was taking during the season 
If any of y’all watched that postgame interview with Kwahi and Lowry after the finals, they mentioned that the raptors also were feeling some way about kwahi load managing but then got over it for the greater good
That raptors team really did stick together and maximized the value they got out of Kwahi. Not an easy thing to do - see how the clippers imploded.

Exactly. This dude is a Clippers writer/reporter too. Even if they had something going on, why expose it like that? And why now? You’re not helping the team, "bro"
Media Cycles and Agenda. Before it was cool to prop up Kwahi - ultimate team player, better than Bron etc, now they backpedaling and going overboard the other way
Media is a manipulative bytch
The amount of DRAMA I’ve seen while playing in rec leagues, with mostly long term friends and known associates, makes me agree. You need strong voices in the locker room to dead all the gossip and bytching behind people’s backs
I think it’s more of an issue when there’s quite a few players who are similar in skills. When you got superstars like Bron, Kobe, MJ, KD etc it is foh when role players complain
But with the clippers they got a useless player in Paul George and a mute in Kwahi
If kwahi wants to load manage he can come to the lakers and ride the bench. Well take him
Just think, he told Steph the next five years belong to him and this what year one brought him......
