You can say this about just about every single athlete of a certain color that gets paid big money in the last 7 years or maybe more. They get their guaranteed money then conveniently get an injury that sidelines them for games/weeks/months. And it's been pointed out multiple times by espn talking heads how athletes will have the same injury yet some play while others sit out (aka the injury isn't real) the players/teams are just doing B.S. to sway betting and gameplanning. It's a a fake ans self serving machine.

I wish people would realize that trying to put super stars together in any sport does not work most of the time. There is enough history on this stuff. You need good complimentary players along with a couple of stars. We don't talk about this enough in sports, especially basketball. I can't believe GM's and owners are still doing this stuff. This putting stars together crap ends up failing a good majority of the time.

Kawhi has been a Clipper for 5 seasons. During that time he is avg over 30ppg in the playoffs. Unfortunately he has played in a total of FOUR playoff games the past 3 seasons. The extension in 2021 made sense. The one he signed January does not. Clips bit themselves in the azz this time

The Clippers currently are just a team worth watching during the regular season to be honest. I'll admit I enjoyed watching some of their highlights this past season, but I'm glad I never chose to be a Clipper fan. If it isn't injuries that ruin their chances of playoff success, it's blown series leads. Most of their team is 30+ so they clearly need to focus on acquiring younger talent this off-season.

This is the example they set for the new generation. Play hard, get a big contract and then stop trying.
They all are young as men, but old as athletes. Not complicated. The owner needs them however because he build that 2 Billion dollar arena, to have some big names for the fans next year.

Kawhi is an absolute beast when healthy. I dont think people are making assumptions thinking a player is going down for a long period of time due to injury

@@dotumphwhen a player has an incurable degenerative knee condition and is out with knee injuries every year, they should.
Kawhi has the 3rd highest winning percentage in the history of the NBA behind only Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, who are first and second respectively, It is not Kawhi's fault the Clippers are in this position. Stephen A is angry and needs someone to blame. His words are like chaff floating in the breeze, worthless and about to go into the fire and forgotten forever. He is entertaining to watch nonetheless.

Kawhitter doesn't play when it matters.
If only they did talked like this with Lebum and the LLLLLLLLLLLLakers
A few years ago they were calling Kawhi the best player on the planet, the "Dynasty Destroyer", the "3-peat Stopper"
I agree with everything Stephen A. said, they are paid to play and produce..

P.J. Tucker is a NBA Champion, too. And, they barely use him. And he is s great defender. And, P.J. Tucker just may be a better matchup on Luka. So, the Clippers actually have 3 NBA champions. The Claw, Tyrone Lue and P.J. Tucker. And all 3 of them need to show up these next two of games of this series.

Karma Kawitter. Leaves Toronto and doesn't stay another year to defend his Championship. He owed it to Canada The Raptors & the people etc. Circumstances change when you win. If he lost who cares. I feel Bad for Steve Ballmers bad investment but he's super rich which is like a toy project to him. The Kawhi curse for life. 😮

Kawhi wouldn’t be getting this much backlash is he took a pay cut knowing his injury concernsl. Instead he signed a ridiculous max crippling the franchise ability to make any moves.
As if we didn’t already know Harden and PG were gonna disappear, Westbrook gonna lose control of everything , and just forget about Kwahi. But thry just signed a contract with him…..
Kawhi is healthiest when there isn't guaranteed money in the future.
Good riddance of LeBalco James. NBA been rigging games for LeBalco for 2 seasons now with that insane free throw disparity. Darvin Ham is the newest scapegoat baby. LeBalco has fired more coaches than he has championships!!
