by Yetundejones: Kawhi Leonard
The idea that Kawhi Leonard ruined Danilo Gallinari's career is bulls**t. Draymond Green also called it disgusting to wish the NBA would take $50 million from a player, pointing out that Kawhi Leonard does not have the power to trade another player. These thoughts came through DraymondShow.

Danilo Gallinari has some strong feelings towards Kawhi Leonard and his minimal punishment. He should pay all of that $50 million. He changed the trajectory of my career and put me in a difficult situation by sending me away from Los Angeles. I think wishing that the NBA took $50 million from a player is disgusting. To walk around with this type of vendetta because you got traded, that also wasn't Danilo Gallinari's first time being traded. So for him to sit and act as if Kawhi Leonard ruined his career, that's bullshit. Gallinari is one of those guys who was extremely talented who would give you fits but was a little lazy. Was not known as someone who give their all to the game of basketball. One of those guys who come in with a random back injury. One of those guys who isn't always in tip-top basketball shape because the word around him is he don't really care. I think Gallinari would choose Paul George over himself. And if you won't... That's crazy. That's ridiculous. Kawhi Leonard does not have the power to trade a player. He can request, hey, I want y'all to go out there and get this guy, but he don't have the ability to make that trade. That franchise have to agree, just like they had to agree that they were going to circumvent the cap.
