I'm with TJ on this one. If it's true that Leonard would lose $150 million dollars if he retires, ain't no way I'm walking away from $150 million dollars. I'm not retiring.
There have been former players who still was being paid after they stop playing. I thought their contract was fully guaranteed so they get paid no matter what. We are about to find out if he is still going to get paid rather, he retires or not
God of Luck bless him didn't he, Isiah Thomas was also on the way to receiving his 100M+ contract before the crushing injury, and the rest is history, while Kawhi managed to get that sweet 9-digit contract before his injury, and now he is a liability to Clippers.
@@ogahifAn American sports league is one of the most scrutinized holdings for tax purposes. The only laundering would be the initial team purchase after that the books are opened every collective bargaining agreement by multiple CPA firms to determine how much money can potentially be split by owners and players.
the spurs litterally said it wasnt an injury , its a condition that will have to be managed for the rest of his career... this isnt some shock. and teams kept paying him, its not stealing cheques or scamming anyone when its a known thing, and you pay a guy anything.
This entire argument is a moot point. As long as that $150 million is guaranteed, Kawhi isn’t going anywhere. Why would anyone with half a brain retire when all they have to do is sit on the end of the bench and collect $150 million? To even suggest this is a complete waste of time.
TMac was better at every skill in the game check the stats and he made teams which would have been bottom tier into playoff teams. Leonard is not comparable to TMac as a player. There are always a few Leonard level forwards in the league. TMac is a pantheon perimeter player. Since the early 90s, it goes: Jordan, Bryant, TMac, LeBron, Wade, Edwards, in that chronological order. That is the top tier and lineage. Leonard is not at that level and he was a role player for the Spurs title in his 3rd season, a defensive specialist who could rebound for his position due to his strength and convert easy opportunities generated by the Spurs' system.
I don't think dude care about a legacy. I don't blame him. Legacy is what other people place on you. It can vanish or be diminished for all sorts of weird reasons people come up with. Keep cashing big checks as long as they giving them out.
Haha first year of intuit dome. Clips fans will pay top dollar to see a washed up James harden and get all of their data collected by facial recognition and other biometrics at the stadium
Winning that chip for Raptors took everything Kawhi had in him. People don’t understand how hard it was for him to do what he did basically by himself.
He was not out there by himself. He had Derozan and Lowry, who were really good players. That Raptors team was not a bunch of scrubs, they were a really good team. They just needed that one Superstar player to push them over the top.
Getting paid to do absolutely nothing is something that I can't respect. The owners are just wasting money on his potential at this point. And Kawhi is laughing all the way to the bank
Kobe bryant said it best when he announced his retirement. his mind and heart can still handle the grind…. Its his body that gave out on him so its time to walk away from basketball
I strongly feel like Kawhi and his uncle knew this information about his knees YEARS ago and San Antonio found out about it. Spurs came out the best in all of this because they got the championship and up off an All Star player a season before his downfall. Kawhi hasn't been dominant to me since like 2014.
What about his Championship season with Toronto? I would say that was his last dominant season. After that, since he’s been in LA, he’s hasn’t even been close to that peak performing Kawhi.
James jones said he doesn’t need money…lol I’m not giving up 150 million. Oh well! They knew what Khawi is and was! Collect your check Khawi. This is a learning lesson for owners. If you still wanted him around make him a coach or a consultant. He going to get his money and then retire cause no one else is going to pay him if he can’t play.
Kawhi knows what's best for him and his situation, so he'll retire when he chooses to do so doesn't matter what other people think which is why he does what he wants and never respond to any of the nonsense. I understand this makes for good conversation though, but it's irrelevant talk.
someone needs to tell me how him sitting on the bench is somehow worse for the team then him retiring, his money stays on the cap hit even if he retires, so he cannot be replaced with another max player or anything like that - the ONLY person who benefits if he retires, is balmers pocketbook and i highly doubt balmer cares at all. so the real question is, are the clippers somehow better with kawhi sitting on the bench for half the games then they are if he sits behind the bench for all of the games?
The Clippers are better by not having Leonard anywhere in or around the building. I know the Clips would love to not have that waste of space filling up a roster spot that could go to a player that actual is on the floor and competes. Leonard was born on the IR.
@@mariogallego5513 so in your opinion some veteran minimum free agent thats out there right now is going to give the clippers a better cealing then 40-50 games of kawhi ? because although "you know" what the clippers want , i can gaurantee you whatever minimum player they can sign if he retires is not doing anything for them
So Tua shouldn’t retire of continuing getting concussions because nobody can tell somebody that plays football to do that but some how y’all fix y’all lips to tell this man to retire. Either bias or don’t realize this is the exact same stuff.
He already punched his ticket to the hall of fame, so the only other thing he was trying to do with to bring one to a pitiful franchise like The Clippers, get more rings and go for being the best. What he did already, puts him up there with the best of the best.
There’s no way he’s consider the best of the best with how his career turned out lol. Nobody will remember him for anything BUT how often he was injured and just intentionally missed games lol. That’s what he’s going to be known for
@@HardCold-Alquan nobody will remember that. Because outside of that he missed half his games every season. He was a joke of a “superstar” maybe the biggest joke of any sport to be honest. He completely robbed every team he played on lol
I don’t see why a team would want to keep paying a player like this and had a chance not to re sign. I don’t even think he enjoys the game anymore, and really does play when he feels like it. Him saying he’ll be injured is a way to bypass the fines for never showing up. Something wrong with him mentally.
He could get his money if there's a basketball related injury clause in his contract, or the team could void his contract due to excessive injury. These guys need to get their hand on Kawhi's contract or find somebody with the inside track.
Seriously this dude has played in how many games for how much money.. ?? It probably averages out to about a $ Million dollars a game. But.. he did beat Miami with the Spurs so Im forever grateful for that.
Yeah it’s time he cant stay on the court last year he played 68 games but missed the whole playoffs. He can’t be counted on to stay healthy and it’s a shame because he really like that.
He's paid and has his rings. The rest is just extra. Its crazy how former athletes forget how hard it is to retire when you don't expect it or are still hanging on despite injuries 😕
In 2016-2017, Leonard played 74 games with the Spurs, in the seven years since, he has averaged 42 games per season, including missing all of 2021-22. For his entire career, Leonard has played in 65% of his team's regular season games. (696 out of 1,066) And because of the media's obsession with "rings" and "chips", he is going to be a hall of famer, regardless of how much the 2nd half of his career ruined the Clippers franchise In 2018-19, Leonard played 60 regular season games with the Raptors, but since Toronto won the title, him missing over 25% of the team's games is irrelevant and in fact, I have even seen it celebrated. The Raptors "load managed" Leonard until the playoffs and they were champs, so therefore, sitting Kawhi for 22 games was justified.
That team is pretty much handcuffed and can’t move forward until his contract runs out. I don’t even feel bad for them. They chose to give him that contract knowing his track record with injuries
I don't blame Kawhi for not retiring. I mean, it's a $150mil. Blame the Clippers for being stupid enough to give him this contract. It was clear to everyone else that he was washed when they gave it to him.
He’s not retiring, but the clippers need to trade him already, it’s been like 7 years of zero results, and he had every super team combo ,Westbrook and harden and pg and John wall and Lou will ,rondo ,Batum,ibaka,Jackson ,just start over with a young team and hope to be like the grizzlies or timberwolves
So I get it, if you're Kawhi, you sit on the bench and collect your check but what if any recourse do the Clippers have if he just can't play at all? At some point they're better off paying him to stay home and retire just to get the roster spot back if all he does is ride the bench. It's really sad though, he was one of my favorite players a decade ago.
The only way for Leonard to stay in the league now is to come off the bench for a Lakers or Mavericks where he is not a major option. But a contributor.
It’s really hard for anyone to run a scam when the world knows your history. TJ hit it - they paid him for the “hope” of him returning. They knew full well that he’s brittle - they CHOSE to pay him that money. They could’ve said no. He “should” retire but I honestly don’t think he cares about that.
He technically played almost 60% of the games over his entire career. It's not as bad as they make it sound... Yet, since he is such a great player people are mad he isn't playing. No one would care if this was Jordan Poole or someone that wasn't a two time Finals MVP. He should just retire and put everyone out of their misery.
Bottom line is Coach Pop was Kawhi Leonard's best kept secret by resting those dudes!! Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili ALL were load management players! I remember going to an 76ers game when Coach Pop send them back to San Antonio and played the bench player and beat the Sixers, Kawhi should go ahead and retire! The Brotha don't need to money! Kawhi isn't even spending his real paper, he's spending his endorsement deal checks
I mean Lonzo Ball is back. It's a degenerative knee disease. Through pain medication and proper post-game rehab he should be able to play. I think the problem behind the scenes is he doesn't want to be on pain meds. These athletes nowadays are soft. A little knee inflammation and they take months off mean while you have manual labor workers going out everyday with all sorts of aches & pains in-order to build society.
Great show as always shout out to production. Shout out to me young people on this show. Always keeping it going man. I wouldn't retire either. I just keep playing it. They made the rules. They gave him the money it went along with it. What else can you say about it for real? That's my position on it. You guys stay safe. Peace. I'm out of here
"he's stealing" the clippers signed the contract fully understanding hes going to miss a lot of games. For all we know they don't even want him to play until after the all-star break. "They could have had pg" pg been injured pretty much the same amount as kawhi and guess what? hes injured right now too. "He has to retire and give up 150 for the sake of his legacy" he's getting in to the hof regardless. His legacy of dominate greatness load management and perpetually being injured is already set in stone. How are these haters who didn't make 150 their whole careers with legacies that cant even compare to Kawhis time with the clippers going to say anything about when kawhi should retire?
Being the #1 offensive option on high efficiency and also a defensive stopper was the Jordan comparison. Not the overall skillset, averaging over 6 assists for the whole career and all the other notable Jordan aspects. He accomplished things that only Jordan accomplished as a 2 way player per sé.

@tigers7834 It's probably clauses that suggest this scenario but he's still getting most of the bag at minimum lol
They didn’t retire if a team cut them they still get paid
Nba contacts are guaranteed insurance will pay him all his money especially with medical retirement
I would say they were fools for keeping him over PG, but PG already hurt too 🤣🥴
Ya but this bad
They knew that both of them would be hurt a lot, but the extremely wealthy owner wanted some top guys, and they were the top guys available.
But pg has played significantly more during his clipper tenure than kawhi has

Honestly surprising how much I like it haha
For sure
legit question, this is now the former "undisputed"?
Kwahi Leonard is a bum, he stays broken, I'll never have him on my team, to brittle.
His legacy has already been sealed and cemented as a 2 time champion and 2 time finals MVP.
God of Luck bless him didn't he, Isiah Thomas was also on the way to receiving his 100M+ contract before the crushing injury, and the rest is history, while Kawhi managed to get that sweet 9-digit contract before his injury, and now he is a liability to Clippers.
150 Million fully guaranteed, I ain’t retiring nothing
Yeah but he doesn't DESERVE that money... that's the point. These owners are just wasting their money on his "potential"
Swear to god 😂😂😂
THAT'S THEIR FAULT WOULD U RETIRE NO U WOULDN'T SO STFU@@real_Hamilton
He can retire and still get that moneyy
He won't retire until the owners stop offering contracts
I can just hear kawhi laughing like he does all the way to the bank
😂😂😂😂
Huuuhaaaahaaaahhhuuuh
Board man always gets paid
Nba teams need to be tougher and smarter on these type of players. They give them outrages money contracts knowing they're injured most the time.
And who are you 😂😂😂😂
Money laundering, that's what they using Nba for
That’s not how the nba works lol it’s a 50/50 split they don’t get to be “tough” players won’t resign

Either he’s really hurt or this is the ultimate scam of the century
Facts.
The Clippers should offer him a buyout. Then we'll see if he really wants to play, or if he *can't* play.
the spurs litterally said it wasnt an injury , its a condition that will have to be managed for the rest of his career... this isnt some shock. and teams kept paying him, its not stealing cheques or scamming anyone when its a known thing, and you pay a guy anything.
It’s a scam for sure and desperation
How do you scam a team paid by a billionaire who has all your medical records, and pays your doctors and surgeons. People don't do critical thinking
Ultimate scam
This entire argument is a moot point. As long as that $150 million is guaranteed, Kawhi isn’t going anywhere. Why would anyone with half a brain retire when all they have to do is sit on the end of the bench and collect $150 million? To even suggest this is a complete waste of time.
Clips only have themselves to blame for that. They knew how messed up his body was
His career is t mac with success
Solid take
Great Take
TMac was better at every skill in the game check the stats and he made teams which would have been bottom tier into playoff teams. Leonard is not comparable to TMac as a player. There are always a few Leonard level forwards in the league. TMac is a pantheon perimeter player.

Kawhi is out for the season. The Clippers just said "indefinitely" so they can sell false hope of him coming back.
Damn. Your right.
Haha first year of intuit dome. Clips fans will pay top dollar to see a washed up James harden and get all of their data collected by facial recognition and other biometrics at the stadium
Winning that chip for Raptors took everything Kawhi had in him. People don’t understand how hard it was for him to do what he did basically by himself.
Nah, he had help. And he played only 60 games that season after playing only 9 the year before in SAS….
Isn't that why he's paid millions upon millions to do just that. Highest paid athletes on planet earth so hard to feel sorry for him.
That chip was like my Lakers bubble chip no way they would’ve beaten the warriors if KD was there that team was they Avengers ask Bron about it
He was not out there by himself. He had Derozan and Lowry, who were really good players. That Raptors team was not a bunch of scrubs, they were a really good team. They just needed that one Superstar player to push them over the top.
They gave up Derozan for him no team was beating Warriors the NBA was unwatchable then they walk to the finals every year with that team
For $150 million..you would have to peel me off the court 2:52😂😂
Kawhi is on FMLA! 😂😂😂
Lmao
This should have way more likes...to many unemployed ppl don't get it 😂😅
Getting paid to do absolutely nothing is something that I can't respect. The owners are just wasting money on his potential at this point. And Kawhi is laughing all the way to the bank
Dream life
Send him to LA so AD got somebody to hang with
Yeah LeBron is too busy being involved with his son's sports to hang out with AD these days 🥁
Heck naw, Balmer was stupid enough to give him the money. Khawi keep sitting out and getting that money.
Kobe bryant said it best when he announced his retirement. his mind and heart can still handle the grind…. Its his body that gave out on him so its time to walk away from basketball
Who is walking away from a guaranteed 150 million?!? These dudes are tripping, no way Kawhi retires.
I strongly feel like Kawhi and his uncle knew this information about his knees YEARS ago and San Antonio found out about it. Spurs came out the best in all of this because they got the championship and up off an All Star player a season before his downfall. Kawhi hasn't been dominant to me since like 2014.
Yeah maybe. Definitely not a farfetched take
What about his Championship season with Toronto? I would say that was his last dominant season. After that, since he’s been in LA, he’s hasn’t even been close to that peak performing Kawhi.
But Popvich got exposed as a coach who NEEDS hall of fame players in order to be even good!
Exactly. It’s not rocket science. People are so stupid that they don’t know what a degenerative knee.
How can we say the Spurs knew when they called cap on his injury complaints?
How you got all football players talking about should a basketball player retire?
Go ask Un to his face 😊 I’m assured he’ll answer you and show you too 😂😂😂😂✌🏽😂💯
Imagine if he played in the Olympics just to be hurt for the regular season
They have insurance for that.

And Paul George is what??????? HURT AGAIN TOO🤦🏾♂️
That legacy argument is basic talk.
Have we ever even gotten confirmation on whats actually wrong with kawhi over the years? It always just sounds so vague
People are so slow. You talking about a guy that literally loves the game. And you talk about his accolades like he wants to be hurt
Real talk, this show is better with TJ than Chase.
If Ben Simmons can steal Khawi better rob 💯
Retire and walk away from all that money. Not happening.
It’s really hard for anyone to run a scam when the world knows your history. TJ hit it - they paid him for the “hope” of him returning. They knew full well that he’s brittle - they CHOSE to pay him that money. They could’ve said no. He “should” retire but I honestly don’t think he cares about that.
Last I checked, his last name is Leonard, not Brunson. I don't see him retiring.
Stephen A Smith was saying that for over a year
Kawhi needs to retire like this is embarrassing
He won’t as long as the checks clear
Why would he retire when there's teams dumb enough to keep giving him ridiculous contracts?
A good show
Fans just need to stop paying these teams
Yall weirdos saying Tua should play and Kawaii should retire has gotta be a joke right. Yall make bo sense whatsoever

His legacy of dominate greatness load management and perpetually being injured is already set in stone. How are these haters who didn't make 150 their whole careers with legacies that cant even compare to Kawhis time with the clippers going to say anything about when kawhi should retire?
Yes.
Chase gone miss around & lost his spot to Tj

That man over here robbing the NBA
When was anyone ever comparing him to Jordan? stop the cap!
Being the #1 offensive option on high efficiency and also a defensive stopper was the Jordan comparison. Not the overall skillset, averaging over 6 assists for the whole career and all the other notable Jordan aspects. He accomplished things that only Jordan accomplished as a 2 way player per sé.
