Put a fork in it. He’s done.
It didn’t destroy their reputation with the person who mattered the most - Wembanyama. He wanted to be a Spur and got his wish.
Oddly enough Kawhi is still living off his reputation as a Spur.
Now that time has passed - most media/NBA execs have come to the realization that Kawhi and his uncle are high maintenance sideshows.
Everyone got what they rightfully deserved in the end.

lol nephew
Cant even root against this guy, he is always out
no timetable for return
I disagree he lives off of his championship run with the Raptors. That run put him in good standing among the media, league, etc for the last several years. It's also why he got be a top 75 great. Without that run he doesn't get the honor. One of the many reasons I wanted the Spurs to send him to a crappy team so he couldn't win a le. Pop did the stupidest thing by sending him to Toronto where he could succeed instead of sending him to Charlotte where he could fail. Either way it's water under the bridge with the Spurs now luckily getting Victor Wembanyama.
Would be sick if Wembys first ring path went though Leonard as poetic justice but it's gotta be soon glass klaw is shattering
Regardless of neph status going forward, Clippers are going to extend Harden and George running all three in to their NBA graves.
Clips with Kawhi 0 - 2
Clips without Kawhi 2 - 0
it would’ve been worth the Championship we gave to Toronto.
Nephew
Clippers will fail in the next round if they get through Mavericks' Irving and Doncic
lol Thunder about to have the Warriors 2015 luck. Chet about to win a le.
Thunder fans will claim he's better than Wemby
lol Suns
lol superteam that would have been better 5 years ago
Stop it. No one takes that run seriously. LBJ moved to the west and Durant blew out his Achilles.
He had a championship - Finals MVP - x2 DPOY before landing there. He was a lock.
love it!Clips with Kawhi 0 - 2
Clips without Kawhi 2 - 0
You are in complete denial that le run set him up for several years. It is the reason why the media didn't criticize until now for his load management and not showing up for games. There was a belief by the media that he was a proven winner and that he knew how to win by doing his "load management" since he won in '19 they didn't question him.
Winning 1 Finals MVP, 2 DPOY was not enough to get that 75 greatest slot. Plenty of players have similar resumes but couldn't get on that list. Kawhi winning that '19 le solidified him since he won it being that number 1 guy. Prior to that run the media consistently questioned whether or not he was a legit superstar.
He doesn't play hurt like he did in Toronto if we give him the bag. The dude was limping that playoffs. He would've sat
Exactly, we upgraded superstars. We got the best years out of Kawhi before he started to fall apart, and then we dumped him to make room for an even better player.
Nice, that storyline really crystalized over time
Spurs age like wine, love this club
Imagine us paying Kawhi between 40 and 50 million for him to play 50 to 60 games and get hurt before or in the 1st round.
Kawhi always being hurt is the reason the Clippers are going to be forced to pay Harden big money who will turn to as soon as he has to play against okc in the second round.
Would spurs unjustly maligned medical staff have been able to manage kawhis chronic condition more effectively ely?
The Spurs managed it fine by sending him packing. I don't know if I've ever seen such a talented player be so fragile. Even AD isn't that fragile.
Don't think so. That right leg has been cooked for a while. Even in 2019 he was visibly limping and playing through pain deep in the playoffs. He and Raps were lucky to face a decimated Dubs team. From there on...
2020 - Load managed and got bubble rest but his legs still ran outta gas in final two games vs Nuggets. Dude was dog out there in the 2nd half of games 6 & 7. But escaped criticism cuz Pandemic Pee was hitting the side of the back board out there.
2021 - Load managed but still got injured.
2022 - Missed due to previous injury.
2023 - Load managed but still got injured.
2024 - Not load managed to try and build stamina and... still injured.
