I just don't think it's all as bad as the media is panning it out to be. There's obviously an issue there. I'm saying I don't think it's as bad as what is being led on. Pretty much what someone else said here. Woj was right in a way, but I really don't think he got the "tense" part right. Some people were saying Kawhi walked out, for fucks sake.

And no one knows. Again, who's going to flat out say that it was?

Not a single one. Guess we wait and see. If he signs the supermax this off-season, I'll forgive everything. Not that I matter.

Ha. I believe the players over Woj. There's literally 0 reason for me to believe that there would all of a sudden be a ton of tense emotion in the locker room if there never was before. Sorry I believe my own teams players. Don't know what to tell you.

I LITERALLY SAID "the players aren't gonna come out and say it" in the second post you quoted.

Not sure these are consistent.

Think the Sixers would have to include Saric to have a shot, but heck yeah they should do that.

LeBron + Kawhi + Simmons + Embiid = championship(s)

Why would the Spurs do it?

Many do play 82 or close to it.

The problem is that a majority of the league is incentivized to rest players this time of year and there is no reasonable way to fix that.

Make the seedings league-wide instead of by conference? Could make more games important. Make salaries payable on games played (to an extent)?

Only if Leonard pulls a Kyrie and demands a trade. Otherwise, hell no. But, I do think it is possible he goes that route.

Look at all my posts on that page. You quoted the wrong one. I said in one of my posts that players aren't gonna come out and say what is going on.

Watch from the 335 mark for the juicy stuff about Pop and Parker

Jackson obliterated Parker.

And brings up some good point.

Don't be surprised if Kawhi is in another uniform. Damage could be irreparable if all that is true.

Countdown till Kawhi formally requests a trade...

Remember when I got mocked for saying that Kawhi isn't perfect, has his share of flaws (like not being able to get and stay healthy), and isn't actually one of our league's three best players???

Hate to say I told you so, but...Oh, what the fuck - I love to say it.

I told you so.

I don't think anyone said he is perfect......

Also when healthy, you can make a pretty strong case about Kawhi being a top 3 player in the league. He is the best 2 way player. If not top 3 then top 5 for sure.

Don't think anyone ever argued that he was perfect. We were all arguing that you were saying he isn't top 3 or 5 when healthy...which is flat out wrong. Still. You're still wrong.

I dont think its going to matter much if Aldridge is injured. Leonard is better off bouncing. Spurs had their run and it was a great run. But everything must end some time
