this is complete bullshit and you know it
especially since..

a. other gms applauded the deal, so clearly no wasn't getting fleeced
b. the lakers gave up so much that fans and reporters alike questioned whether the lakers gave up too much
c. hell, even haters were a little happy because it didn't look like a good deal for the lakers on the face of things
d. there was zero interference from the concerned owners until it was agreed upon in principle

you know good and well this isn't just some case of an entitled brat made because things didn't go his way for once (hence your winklevy reference).

anger is completely justifiable for this.
