The treatment the Clippers gave Kawhi Leonard and Paul George rubbed some teammates the wrong way:

Kawhi and PG-13 had power over the practice schedule.

Kawhi lived in San Diego, which often made him late.

Teammates believed they could choose when they played.

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.

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."

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

Clippers fans get to cheer on Andrew Wiggins while their draft picks go to OKC.

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

Kawaii I kind of understand having those privileges but PG? We dodge a bullet big time.

Some of (Kawhi and PG's) perks included:

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.
