the difference between teams before and now is that the threat of walking away with nothing in return woulda forced teams to deal him already. Riley clearly wanted the deal to play out to its conclusion.
Given that Jimmy's done this before, it's tough to give him the benefit of the doubt. Only team crazy enough to pay him til he's 38 is Phoenix
Actually Jimmy has exposed the front offices ran by slave masters or people who have become a slave to spreadsheet management.
.everywhere Jimmy went or there were issues. Jimmy exposed their organizations shytty lack of business etiquette and their ways.
Chicago = has made a model of picking trash players on purpose to have a sellout. With no actual team quality. Jimmy actually ramped. So since chicsgo did not want to pay their star. They let the rampur guy take precedent to create a coup of the star. Then jettisoned the rampup guy they enabled. Once said rampup guy wanted a change of culture after being used to jettison star.
Same thing in minnie-ap. Team needed a rampur guy to usurp two higher pedigree draft players.
Once ramp up guy was successful. Ramp up guy made into scapegoat. Ehen the ramp up guy was used as a catalyst and then scapegoat.
In Philly you had another weird internal situation. Where Philly does what they always do. Build this great team. Then ruin it on purpose. Sohh they never have to pay anyone they do not want for whatever good ole boi reason they see fit. Where the young Black gm builds. Then when potential ship style roster is created from black ingenuity. Said visionary gm now is told to run some diminished skills clause meets cheap roster resigning budget.
Sohh Jimmy was not resigned. As Philly I believe as a basketball organization. Does not want to win a championship.
The heat really has fell off from the last riley fukk dem nikkaz they are expendable episode. With how riley was into it with Shaq, wade and bron. I believe the heat organization has not realized. The heat destroyed any public sway internally from the players from this. As no one player has tried to make the former expansion team a destination.
How riey treated his generational talent. Imo, the heat are viewed like a non destination by MBA players. Making Miami a glad to visit. Would never wanna play there, if I was a free agent destination.
