Hes not talking about it from a fan/owner perspective. Hes talking about it from a players perspective. He said it started with Harden or Simmons when the first time I personally remember it happen was Vince in Toronto. A player, with a contract saying, "fukk it, I dont want to be here and gonna make it clear". It sucks for the franchise who has that player because now they dont have any leverage but it really sucks for that fan base.
To me he was saying, dont sign a contract for a team you know you dont want to be with. I think that's fair but I also dont blame players for signing these deals that equal up to an extra $30-50 mil. But dudes who do that, then more or less phone it in or sit games with phantom injuries is saying "fukk you" to his teammates. I can see why those mid level, vet minimum guys would be annoyed dealing with that shyt
