As a fan I want to keep Kawhi.

From a management perspective, I’m not so sure he’s worth giving $219M if he’s going to keep getting hurt. And if Kawhi and his uncle will insist on their own rehab program with their own external doctors every time he’s dinged up for whatever reason.

I don’t like the precedent this NYC doctor situation is setting.

I mean he is worth the money we seen what he does carrying our team and if he got the right pieces we easily could be a dynasty.
Having said that too get the right pieces if he needs to take a pay cut then so be it.
I fault front office for this shytty as contracts we stuck with tho.
2nd opinion docs tho spurs need to get over their feelings with imo at same time kawhi has too keep them in the loop and support his team too.

He ain't worth 219 if injury prone tho no matter how good he is.

Overall pay the breh and get rid of the pieces we dont need or paid too much for imo

If they offer a pay cut too him to get the pieces he should take it we are loyal too players it's been proven he will get his money back later.
If he dont wanna take paycut and leave get something good in return and I wont be mad if he left cuz truth be told as athlete u gotta look out for yourself we seen too many times people get screwed not saying we would do that but shyt things do change eventually

Short term, let’s say we keep Kawhi and he’s healthy next season.

You have Kawhi, Aldridge, Murray.
Gasol is the Center with no replacement in sight and no C free agent worth getting. Boogie ain’t coming here.

We still don’t have a SG. Maybe the only decent option here is Tyreke Evans...IF he wants to play here and if he’s a good fit. And he’s probably priced out of our budget anyway. Hell almost anybody would be better than Green right now.

And is that enough right now? With Murray’s weak ass jumper (which needs to improve) and hardly anything on our bench?

The roster as it stands now can hold teams defensively but we need to get younger and more athletic. The team needs more than Kawhi, all due respect.

Lately the offense has been far too ISO heavy around Leonard (last year) and LMA (this year).

They use 'TRUST the process' and go behind another team's back to secure a max contract player.. which is literally the opposite of trustworthy behavior

:hhh:

What they are doing is a process but their way of a process :shaq:.

Embiid and Leonard on the same team goodness offensive nightmare

I dont disagree with ur saying makes more sense to trade to him to get younger and go back to our beautiful basketball play
If we keep kawhi they need to do a culture shock and trade people with those bullshyt contracts instead of the loyalty thing its business with certain guys.
Murray need to put in work with his shot
Give white some burn also
We sure as hell need a center
We are just not build right even I know that
Even if I feel we can win a chip with this roster it would be unnecessary difficult and hard to maintain if we just get rid of certain players to be Frank when it comes to keeping kawhi and if dont keep him
Lma gonna need to learn to pass better not this iso shyt his is worse than kawhi

In some sense we could just rebuild and trade lma and kawhi and just be young all together and play good execution b ball look at Boston great coaching and a system with young talent can work here as well

maybe it was answered in the thread but how is he allowed (or why) is he seeing other teams doctors? Isn't that illegal in the CBA or just from a how it looks perspective. That's a bad look

True.

and one other wrinkle is that I’ve been reading that part of the reason Pop hasn’t retired is because he promised certain players he would stick around.

If the front office decides to blow up the team, does Pop want to go through a rebuild? At this age, after the stress of this season and the loss of his wife?

A total rebuild means from the top on down.
I feel like we are in No Man’s Land as a franchise.
