So it's ok as long as management agrees to trade you? God forbid athletes getting power to do what they want. Let's go back to the 80's when the owners could do whatever the fukk the want to the players.
People got ROLES to play. What the fucck is the job of a GM? It is the general manager's JOB, his number one PRIORITY to recruit, sign, trade, hire and release players in the best interests of that franchise. It's not just that it's "okay" for management to agree to make a trade... IT IS THEIR JOB!
A free agent player, especially an unrestricted free agent is free to do whatever. He doesn't have the excuse of he was forced out, or traded, or cannot go to any type of team. He can pick and choose, so whatever decision he makes it is ONLY ON HIM to own up on to. He cannot blame the front office, he cannot blame his previous team, coach, or management. He can only blame himself.... and if people viewing it as a DUMMY move, or a bytch move then that's how people see it.
You want to NOW say it's NO DIFFERENT..... when SPORTS FANS for FUCCKIN' EVER been clowning, bytching, angry at GM's, at organizations, and the so forth for the PICKS, DRAFTS, TRADES, RELEASES, and everything... you want to have it one way, but not the other??? So it ISN'T COOL to criticize DURANT for making a bytch-move... but we can CLOWN the Laker's GM for the dummy moves they been making? Or anything that the LEAGUE does and we're not cool with?
The ONLY difference is that players had to deal with the management and it be the management that made it happen for the best of the franchise. Whereas now, the players pick what is best for them.... however, it speaks to A LOT of someone's character, especially at a superstar status to pick where you don't have to earn your keep. If Durant wants to do it without the responsibility on his shoulders, with being the possible 2nd or 3rd option of that already established system. So be it. But in my view, he won't be looked as a LEADER, a COMPETITOR, or a true champion... the same way I do not look at STEVE KERR as a champion coach just because he inherited a championship ready team. And his coaching was exposed because of that this finals and conference finals.
