edit: i meant to reply a little above, not to this post specifically.

from the bottom teams in big markets (l.a. and nyc) to the attractive teams in terms of talent (say phi and houston) to the teams in the finals....the climates are all full of drama and toxicity.

kawhi's perspective is fine....and he deserves a change of scenery if he wants it...

but pop's communication issues are nothing compared to his contemporaries' habitual abuse (phil/riley/colangelo/karl) or the current generation's preference of letting the biggest assholes in the locker room have free reign to say whatever.

if he thinks moving on will fix that, his people are giving him bad advice.

i think he has better reasons, but we'll probably never know what's in his head.
