:yeshrug: Ain't wrong, they made that dude ruin his career and destroy his body then traded him for nothing, costing him literally hundreds of millions of dollars.

I wouldn't wanna go anywhere near that franchise if I were a FA or had any choice in the matter for where I went. They clearly wouldn't support me to the fullest and if they're willing to trade all these young guys to get me then they clearly have no loyalty for that either. shyt that's probably why Kyrie leaving, he can sense that Ainge might be the best GM in the league, but he a snake.

Before the Cousins trade a year ago, though, Davis kept hearing talk of the Celtics trying to trade for him. He walked into GM Dell Demps' office and asked about it.

"He told me that [Boston] was calling, but nothing was going to happen," Davis said. "At the same time, though, you see how organizations treat players. Isaiah Thomas. DeMarcus [Cousins] told me that the [Kings] told him that he wasn't going to get traded, but they traded him. Isaiah took his team to the Eastern Conference finals, and they traded him.

"It makes you wonder: Does this organization really have my back? I've been loyal to this organization. I love it here. I love this team. I think we're moving in the right direction. DeMarcus, Rondo, some other players that are helping us, but people get judged on winning. And I want to win.

"It's not about the money. It's not about having fans. The most important thing to me: winning. That's what I want to do. And I want to do it here."

704. Formerly 212 and 843.
Every other team would have done the same thing. There are no loyalty contracts.

(I'm paraphrasing this) Former NBA player Steve Smith said that he heard rumors that he was going to be traded from Atlanta to Portland, so he went management to confirm the rumors and they said no. The next day he was traded to Portland and he said realized that there was no such thing as loyalty in the NBA.
