The Clippers have started a new stage now with Tyronn Lue as coach, however within the team there will still be several things to change because as the weeks progress and the pain of the playoff elimination is left behind, some secrets are discovered that they ended up affecting the Los Angeles team, one of them the villain role played by Kawhi Leonard.
The image we had about Kawhi was of a serious, introverted player who did not get into much trouble, however in a note published by The Athletic, some attitudes of Leonard come to light that ended up affecting the relationship with several of his companions. Some of the situations that are mentioned are the fact that Kawhi had the opportunity to choose in which games to play, with the argument of taking care of himself for the important games and also, doing it with the consent of the board and of Doc Rivers himself.
Other things that allegedly bothered veterans like Lou Williams or Patrick Beverly was the fact that Kawhi was allowed to live outside of the Los Angeles area, his residence is in San Diego, so it was common for him to arrive late when the team I had trips planned to go on tour.
Kawhi and the Clippers will have a rematch next season, these posts and the title that their city and sand neighbors got, coupled with the way they were eliminated, should be enough fuel to ignite them and go out with everything to seek the championship We’ll see if Ty Lue is capable of smoothing out rough spots inside the team and manages to put this machine that his fans dream of working.
