Why is Michelle Beadle allowed to talk about Kawhi with such hatred ? :dahell:

[Remote]

Except when you’re black like Kawhi right?

Parker, Alridge and Gay are black men who were hurt and rehabbed during the season without a hint of controversy or problems.

I wonder why the Spurs process worked perfectly for them but supposedly fukked over their star player.

As usual it’s a Lakers stan in here taking shots in the dark.

as a journalist it's a shame what she gets away with. idk who the spurs rivals are of they got any legit ones like the Lakers and Boston etc but if I was a fan of the rival how am I supposed to watch a show with that c*nt? being bias is against journalism ethics

Sports reporters aren’t journalists.

Well, maybe the old school guys like William C Rhoden are. But these clowns on tv now are not.

Parker, Alridge and Gay are black men

All past their prime and not looking to collect a 150+ million dollar contract

And I dealt with Kobe and Shaq looking out for their best interest over the team. While I rather have the team success, I understood how it’s important for them to have individual success for their families and didn’t knock them for it. You’re mad that Kawhi wasn’t a mindless drone like Tim Duncan

 

[TooLazyToMakeUp1]

All of this could've been avoided and kept in house if it wasn't for Popovich's passive-aggressive jab in the media

Tim Duncan isn’t a mindless drone. He’s the greatest power forward ever and a 5 time champion.

This isn’t about Kawhi taking things into his own hands and the Spurs being upset about it.

The Spurs gave Kawhi all the freedom to pursue his recovery in any way he wanted. Then he left them in the dark and won’t answer for anything.

But let’s keep this civil.

Silent treatment is mad effective brehs.

Nah, this old faced witch needs to be told about herself as much as possible. It would be easy to ignore her if she wasn’t systematically placed in a position of influence. The fact that she feels comfortable/safe enough to talk about a black man like that in the presence of other black men should be an embarrassment to us all.

He’s a guy that put his team before hisself going by the pay cuts he took year after year. Kawhi showed them he’s not cut of that same cloth and Spurs are mad now...

According to Kawhi they weren’t left in the dark though. So you’re just believing Pop over Kawhi

But let’s keep this civil.

Like I said

In this business no. Teams are supposed to work in their best interest and players are to work in their best interest. IT lost out on tens of millions because of a misdiagnosed injury. Cousins just lost out on 200 mill guaranteed because of an injury. To you its entertainment, to them its their livelihood and way to building generational wealth

If Kawhi has a deal to sign a max contract with a new team, then yes it could be in his best interest to live in a bubble for the next year and not play in the meantime. That being in his own best interest doesn't mean he is above criticism to continue taking money from an old contract he chooses not to fulfill. So I'm really not interested with either teams "best interest" in these hypotheticals because it has no connection with ethics.

What it really comes down to is whether he really was too hurt to play and whether the Spurs medical staff was diagnosing the injury correctly. And whether this injury was really just used as a way of planning an escape he wanted to make all along.

He said he was hurt and wouldnt play till he was 100%. That takes out the "not fulfilling his contract" narrative you keep trying to give. Isaiah Thomas was misdiagnosed and lost out on tens of millions of dollars because of it and cant even get a contract offer. The Boston Celtics traded him and will still rake in millions upon millions next season alone not to mention future years. For that reason, I'll always side with the players for looking out for themselves in the small window they have over looking out for the team. This is a business to them. Its only entertainment to you...

No not whether or not he was "too hurt to play". Its whether he was hurt at all, and whether he wanted to risk injuring himself further and risking his future contract. Demarcus Cousins got hurt and lost out on a 200+ contract. These guys have to protect themselves over the team and I'll always support that even at the detriment to my team because again, its entertainment to me, but a livelihood that can ultimately create generational wealth to them.. Maybe it was an excuse but on the otherside, maybe it wasnt...

There is an inherent injury risk every time a player steps on the court. Unless you are advocating players shutting down once they are under contract so as not to jeopardize the next contract, I don't know what the point of this is. Cousins had a freak injury that could not have been reasonably prevented. Isaiah had a known injury and was not going to get a big pay day without proving he could still play. Honestly, he needed to avoid the first injury, not the reaggravation. Has Kawhi's side proven that there was reasonable evidence that Kawhi would suffer short or long term damage by playing? If so, I don't know how they're at this point.

For contractual purposes, I think it's fair for a player to stipulate that he is to refer to his own specialist and that there should be discourse and transparency from both sides. The story out there makes it sound like the Spurs let him seek second opinion but it is unclear if he simply sought a second opinion or if he specifically looked for one that would refuse to clear him.

You are just looking at Kawhi the businessman, which is fine, but I am looking at the contractual obligations and the conflicts of interest on both sides.
