Aren’t we at least a little concerned about the fact that he’s missed a whole season due to injury and seems to have some sort of major conflict with his team right now?

For a legit primary option on offense that can guard 5 positions and is a perennial DPOY? Ehh.

Yeah, but a 4/5 year max if he is hurt all the time or melts down scares the hell out of me. Same reason I don’t want to invest huge money into Jabari Parker.
What’s really going on with Kawhi? How do you vet his current injury when that kind of money is on the line. If they get him, I’ll applaud the move and hope he gets back to his previous level of play. That doesn’t mean that it doesn’t give me pause.
Yes. It’s kind of a paradox, though, as that’s the only reason he’d be (more) available.
But I’m curious about the ongoing drama without being able to step up and put an end to it. Sounds like it’s had an effect on the team with the news of the players-only meeting.

That’s what concerns me more than anything. I think it’s more likely that he’s traded this offseason with how this all went down. Another year like this, and they won’t get anything for himin a trade before he can be a free agent. I hate the idea of anyone coming in and screwing up the chemistry of this team.
I’m curious what his beef is beyond the health stuff. If there’s no beef, he’d step up and clear that out a lot better than he has. And I don’t buy the old Hayward routine of “never mind the obvious cues, that’s just his personality.”

Quin probably tells him to keep shooting, although part of the problem is shot selection. Sometimes he shoots it too soon instead of making the extra pass or whatever, but he's a rookie, but the way I look at it is if he didn't have this flaw, as a rookie he wouldn't be human. Lol

I hope I'm misreading this. It sounds as if you're insinuating that he might be human. Unpossible.

Countdown on Most 3 point makes by a Rookie: Post Spurs - 3/23/18
1.) Damian Lillard, Portland (12/13) - 185
2.) Steph Curry, GSW (09/10) - 166
3.) Donovan Mitchell, Utah (17/18) - 165
Donovan Mitchell (17/18) - with four more 3 pointer tonight (including two clutch to force overtime) brings his total to 165. Still 3rd all time.
Needs 2 more to take 2nd and 21 more to take over 1st.
9 games left to go. He needs to average 2.3 per game to do that. He’s been averaging 2.6 per game (on 7.3 attempts) since the win streak began back in January, but his shot has been off lately. Percentages aside, Donovan is still very likely to take the #1 spot eventually.
