Kawhi is questionable...I also have no problem with players requesting trades...if the team refuses to trade you, at that point the player almost has to leak the request to force the hand of the team. Harden took it way too far by not showing up, being out of shape, getting quarantined for Covid violations, and just being a jerk to his teammates.
Kawhi told SA he wanted out and then sat out the season due to health issues. If he had serious questions about the treatment of his injury, I have no issues. If he used the injury as a tactic to force the Spurs hand, then I don’t like it. The Spurs shouldn’t have to pay him if he’s faking an injury. Likewise, Harden shouldn’t have been paid for the games be missed this year.
