    Its because he didn't. He left the Raptors in free agency.

    Looks like he was traded to Toronto instead of LA where he wanted to go. I'd hardly call that a force

    That's still forcing his way out of San Antonio. They just didn't let trade him to where he wanted to go.

    Skip has said that he heard Kawhi has serious knee issues. What we're seeing is confirming it. But he is also likely choosing not to play because he wants to be 100% healthy. Which is never going to happen. Too bad for a player that is championship level on a championship level team.

    This is probably true. I wonder if him playing 2 games is somehow related to his contract and pay.

    Ridiculous as in why owners keep handing out huge deals and getting burnt by them?

    If he wins championships . .. playing 40~50 games a year
    No one Cares

    He has to come back for the playoffs and "look good"
