^^^ THIS. Kawhi was under contract and simply refused to play. That is 100x

worse than a free agent choosing to sign with another team. The fact that the Spurs got something in return for Kawhi was because the Spurs managed to make a trade - not because of some benevolent gesture on Kawhi's part.

Can't decide between Hayward and AD.

One of these players is not like the others.

We don’t need to bring race into it.

KD for sure. OKC was up 3-1 on GS, KD lost then he joined the other team.

5/25/19 10:08pm

Nah, KD never quit on his team while under contract. Has to be Kawhi or AD

If he felt he wasnt ready..healthy and the team wanted him to play

That’s the thing though. SA wasn’t rushing him back.

AD is doing the Pels a favor, he could just play out his contract and leave

5/25/19 11:39pm

But he didn’t do OKC dirty. As a fan I wish he would’ve stayed. But he didn’t do

The only real options are Lebron or Hayward. Lebron more than made up for it

Dillinger

5/25/19 10:09pm

I don’t see it that way. Kawhi played dirty.

BGRTHNUMEGO

5/25/19 10:12pm

Or sat out dirty.

BGRTHNUMEGO

5/25/19 10:12pm

True but he gave the Spurs a chance to get talent back.

Dillinger

5/25/19 10:26pm

Kawhi was worst. Easily.

5/25/19 10:14pm

I see KDs as worse than LeBron.

Don’t forget that Derek Fisher lied 3 times to get out of his contracts

PCCoug

And helped each team by leaving. #thankful

Kawhi was brutal to SA. Totally screwed them over while actual playing for them

LiveCoug

5/25/19 10:21pm

San Antonio deserved to lose Kawhi.

5/25/19 10:27pm

Trust me. I live here. I'm very much enjoying seeing SA fans start to

LiveCoug

5/25/19 10:29pm

Yeah but at least they got something for him.

HingleMcCringleberry

5/25/19 10:33pm

True. I'll give you that.

LiveCoug

5/25/19 10:39pm

All those guys you mentioned were free agents. The players didn’t owe anything

I don’t think we will ever know the full story.

HingleMcCringleberry

5/26/19 9:04am

No. There isn’t. There’s actually 2 Decades worth of evidence

itsuptoyou

5/26/19 9:18am

I mean he sat out 20+ games for the Raptors this year as well

HingleMcCringleberry

5/26/19 10:45am

Lol. What a pathetic response.

itsuptoyou

5/26/19 9:20am

Only one of those actually gave his team a heads up

volleyjiver

5/25/19 10:22pm

His agent made it into a public sideshow.

Baron

5/26/19 7:09am

No, del demps made it into a public sideshow

volleyjiver

5/26/19 7:37am

Kyrie is up there too. Basically said if you don’t trade me I’m going to get

Duke Silver

5/26/19 7:50am

Yeah, but that was after his team was trying to trade him. He was also their

KD? Weird choice.

Josef K

So were many of the other dudes on the list . . .

I wanted to vote Hayward, but with Mitchell, it didn't hurt us that badly

mncstr

5/26/19 9:58am

That doesn’t matter, it’s not a question of which team was worse off.
