Top tier talent like Lamarcus Aldridge, Pau Gasol, and Rudy Gay?
Possibly somebody from Kawhi's camp did put something out there. But doesn't seem to take much for ESPN to cite 'sources' and then take it from there. This kind of does remind me a bit of that recent Belichick, Brady, Kraft rift that ESPN was trying to throw out there as a news story (conveniently right before playoffs began).Chipotlemonger said:
That sounds like pure conjecture!

That report included a fairly strong denial from Spurs GM RC Buford"There is no issue between the Spurs organization and Kawhi"so take that for what you will. San Antonio has been the most successful organization in the league over the past 20 years, but we're coming off 18 months of rumors that Lamarcus Aldridge was unhappy, all of which were denied vehemently by the Spurs themselves. Then a few weeks ago, Gregg Popovich emerged to more or less confirm every rumor we'd heard about the LaMarcus relationship the past two years.

Now: Does this mean Kawhi is going to request a trade and/or join Twitter to start tweeting cryptic things about his future? Probably not. It's possible, even likely, that this is a case of everyone being frustrated while the injury resolves itself, and everything will be fine once Kawhi is playing again. But it's worth monitoring. Leonard is one of the five or six best players in the league. While the entire sport obsesses over the futures of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Anthony Davis, both of whom are under contract for several more years, Kawhi is more accomplished than either one and is a free agent at the end of next season. And he might be frustrated in San Antonio?

The Kawhi injury situation was already one of the strangest stories of the seasonno one in the NBA knows what's happening, why he's missed this much time, or when he might get back to 100%and thanks to ESPN's report it just became even more strange.

Can we also talk about how classy Tony is? Sure, he'd probably prefer to start...but how many 4 time champions and a Finals MVP would say "Sure, I'm fine with it, whatever will help the team." The young guys who come up in this organization are so lucky to have vets with the kind of attitude that allows them to take a back seat and mentor the young guys.
I love this team

I use Sling to watch them. Don't recall off hand what the package is but one of them gives you the FSSW and alternates. Spurs are usually on the alternate here in Austin. Mavs and Stars are the default broadcasts.Btron said:
