What y'all keep failing to see is THE OTHER TEAM
No team is going to trade for a disgruntled player. PERIOD. "b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-but what's he gonna do" Every fukking thing. Talk shyt in the media.. Barely show up. Half ass play.. Fake injuries to not play. Fake mental health issues. Bad mouth the team to other free agents so they wont come. Also demand a trade from there too. Undermine the coach. Undermine the GM. Undermine the owner. etc etc etc
If you're the Kings or Wizards, you gonna trade away your best players AND your soon to be lottery picks for a nikka who gonna act a complete and utter ass from the moment he signs the contract.... AND you gotta pay him if he pulls a mental health kick
Hell fukking nah.. THE OTHER TEAM is going to use that to give the Nets less, because they know they are getting a player who has ZERO desire to be there
Breh, that’s a lot of words to still get to the point miami - run by Pat fukking Riley - is not going to be able to keep all those guys in a trade for KD.
And furthermore, here’s the thing, while no team wants to be eating salary of an unproductive player, at the end of the day these franchises live longer than player’s careers. Imagine being 34 and deciding to just fukk off two seasons in your waning prime - the fukk does that do for you when your goal in being traded was to win? Now you’re killing your legacy as people will remember you as a bytch ass nikka, and you get no rings…but cool, you got a paycheck. At the end of the day, the franchise moves on while you’re buried under the stench of your actions, and 2-3 years older where you may not necessarily be in demand like you are RN
