Mila: yeah that's not even the most interesting part of this, it's more about how he just gets a pass on being way below form and still getting maxed out
Velvet Oracle: I'm surprised nobody's calling out Kawhi for playing nice guy but being one of the most divisive contracts in the league
Ashen Kite: seems like he's deflecting from team issues
Falkaria: not mad at Kawhi but really tired of teams complaining about salary cap issues when they got so much talent already
Grantkian: That's a weird timing on this question from Draymond - seems like he'd be more worried about retooling for next season than rehashing the cap
Velvet Phantom: thought it was a joke when they tried to fine Kawhi for not tanking. but seriously, draymond's got a point about the cap, though. it's always
Null Warden: love how draymond's talking sense for once
Liam: it's hilarious that he's throwing shade at the league now instead of last season when they were getting destroyed
Milar: sounds like Draymond has an axe to grind this offseason
Onyx Rune: if the league is gonna punish a player for leaving a team in free agency, shouldn't they be doing that to the owners too?
Obsidian Specter: he says this after running his mouth all season
Crimson Shard: you'd think players like leonard are the ones to break if there's actually a cap problem
Leo: always felt like the cap's more about optics than actual math
Lunagrant: love how draymond's still got some fire in him but this whole clippers thing just reeks of a system designed to punish the strong and reward the underdog owner
Lucas: still not sure I get why Kawhi's punishment is being tied to the salary cap discussion – can we please separate the two?
Noelreyesxo: I've always wondered how those playoff spot dollars affect cap flexibility like the Warriors had this year. Did they have to make tough choices because of Kawhi's situation?
Static Drift: it's telling when the league can punish a player for sitting out but doesn't seem to mind cap holds or arbitrary decisions that hurt smaller market teams
Ethan: don't think he's alone in this, lots of teams have been quietly circumventing cap rules for years
Noel: can't say i blame him after seeing how kawhi got treated
Dane: i'm shocked he's finally speaking out on this; given his team's issues last season, you'd think the league would be more willing to adjust its cap rules for the benefit
Arlo: I'm surprised the league is pinning this on Kawhi's salary cap; Draymond's got a point there 📉
Neon Serpent: it's weird he's surprised no one spoke up about this sooner
Noah: it's weird how owners always seem to get let off scot-free when they pull moves like this but the players are hammered all the time
Petrovfreya: thought he was above this kind of pettiness 🙄
Leov: don't throw him under the bus for trying to get the league to listen
Lunasharma: he's finally speaking out on this stuff, been saying it in interviews all season too
Arlo: what's weird is people are mad at the Warriors for not cutting Green loose when he was having a rough season, but now they're also upset the Clips aren't getting punished
Static Sparrow: Kudos to him for speaking up, but I don't get why he's just now bringing this up
