If you were to have asked me a year ago today, who I thought was the one player in the league that just wanted to play basketball and could care less about any drama, I wouldn't have hesitated to say Kawhi. Fast forward to today, and he seems radioactive and completely untrustworthy. I can't remember the last top five player in any sport, devaluating themselves so quickly.
I think he knows/believes that he will receive a max contract next off season. It seems to me, that he is focused on doing anything he can to lower his trade value and decreasing the return for the Spurs. He must really have it out to hurt this Spurs team.
