Whether any bit of this rumor is true or not...you have to admit this is the first time the team and organization has looked vulnerable in a damn long time. TBH...not sure what to believe. Lebron perhaps sowing seeds of discontent...playing mind games with Kawhi, hoping he can get him to team up with him in Cleveland. Whatever the case...Kawhi is a game changer if he really is on the market. Teams to keep an eye on...the Celtics, the Cavs for activity.
I think this whole thing makes Lebron to the Lakers possible now (it definitely was not before imo) Kawhi is an LA guy, they have a lot of young pieces to offer in a potential deal. Lebron can join him next season.....Paul George too
I hope it happens and Kawhi recovers from his injury. It will answer the question of how good he really is. The Spurs never let their star players go, going back to Robinson.
You need someone who can read people better than everyone else. What i mean by that is that Anthony Bennett for example was very good in college but had no desire, fire or will power to ever become better. K.L on the other hand obviously had the desire to be the best player he can possibly be. Then you choose like 15 players you like and invite them to an interview and go 50/50 on skillset and character. The players that work their butt off in summer are usually stars or will be stars soon. (Butler 30th, Kawhi 15th pick and so on )
I feel like this is the end of the Spurs twenty year dominance. Popovich needs to retire and run for office.
It's true the pilot is ill. Slightly ill. The others are doing just fine and they are handling the controls, free to live a life of religious fulfillment
