Some of (Kawhi and PG's) perks included:
• Leonard and George were the only players to have their own personal security guards and trainers.
• Leonard and George had power over the team’s practice and travel schedule, leading teammates to believe Leonard canceled multiple practices.
• Leonard was allowed to live in San Diego and commute from there, which often made him late for team flights.
• Leonard and George typically didn’t speak to the media until at least 45 minutes after games concluded, under the guise of postgame treatment or workouts. This usually resulted in their teammates speaking with the media first, and for longer, essentially becoming the public voices of the team.
• Teammates also believed that Leonard and George were able to pick and choose when they played. Not only did they sit out games entirely, but also at times they accepted or declined playing time in the moment. _________________ "Chick lived and breathed Lakers basketball…but he was also fair and objective and called every game the way it was played."

I can see those becoming problems if the coach is telling the other 13 guys "team over me . . . except for those guys - in their case, it's them over team." _________________ On Lakersground, a concern troll is someone who is a fan of another team, but pretends to be a Lakers fan with "concerns". |

Wouldn’t be a problem if it was just the two time NBA finals MVP champ doing it but when no ring-no MVP-no DPOY-no finals MVP also gets to do it then lay an egg in elimination game... coach got canned |

Kawhi demanding a sign and trade to the Warriors and Paul George slinking off to the Knicks next summer is going to be sweet.

Slap in the face? His rep should already be in tatters, with the most recent failure just icing (tremendously top quality icing) on the cake.
Looking forward to his next 3-1 loss in the playoffs to, say against the Wizards or Hawks. |

Name me one other player other than Leonard who forced their way out of San Antonio? San Antonio, Popovich, and their owner were all thought to be a real classy organization until this guy started acting like these revelations reveal.

Clipper fans so butthurt about the negative press and blaming the leaks on Trez.
They're in for a rude surprise at just how much Trez gave them last season. The confused reactions will be hilarious |

Paul George is throwing Doc Rivers under the bus. Lol
Quote: | Paul George on his struggles in Doc Rivers' system:
"Doc was trying to play me as a Ray Allen or a JJ Redick, all pin-downs. I can do it, but that ain't my game. I need some flow, I need some mixes of some pick-and-roll, and post ups...That last season was hard."

That has to irk KL & PG13. Highlights their poor career moves. Illustrates what could have been. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
