Continued one of my favorite conversations 😆 on who is playing where with Kawhi
He points out that he’s had to be more than just a 3. But he also repeats the importance of having players in traditional positions (Russ, Bones at PG, Zu, Mase at C) ease what he is asked to do too pic.twitter.com/b5Q4cADkEJ – 7:16 PM

Can always count on Kawhi being blunt🎯 when it comes to accountability
On last year’s camp: “I think everybody was a little excited just by me coming back… we skipped some steps, I would say.…that’s on all of us in here. The front office, me included, and the coaching staff.” pic.twitter.com/cSyXRM7w5J – 7:00 PM

Asked Kawhi Leonard abt the extension he’s been eligible for since July. He termed his relationship w/ front office as “good.” Does he believe an extension will be reached?
“For sure. It hasn’t even been nothing that we’ve been rushing on their side, or my side. So, we’re good.” – 5:26 PM

Russell Westbrook, Kawhi and PG played 490 possessions together last season and were +1.8 point/poss. (per Cleaning The Glass). Pretty small sampling. What does Russ hope to see from their minutes together this season? pic.twitter.com/USfQz4VOqC – 8:31 PM

If we’re operating under the assumption that Team USA can have any 12 American players it wants, this would be my preferred roster:
PG: Stephen Curry
SG: Kawhi Leonard
SF: Kevin Durant
PF: LeBron James

Dusty Baker says he’s not sure how much he’ll be able to use Michael Brantley in the postseason. It all depends on how his body feels after each game. “He’s my Kawhi Leonard.” – 12:36 PM

Top five. Top five. Top five.
No, we’re not talking about Grammys, and we’re not talking Dylan. The LA Clippers are talking about being a top 5 defense, after the efficiency slipped lower than ever for a Kawhi Leonard team.
