woj, windhorst, bobby marks, zach lowe, all saying the same thing: talked to multiple team execs since sunday night, and the market was severely depressed. no one was interested in taking on this guy and his prince akeemian quantity of baggage unless it was for absolute rock-bottom dirt cheap, i.e. one pick and 1 young player.

literally every team in the league could've topped that NO offer if they esteemed him highly enough to be worth it. clearly they didn't.

there's definitely a disconnect between fans' perception of his value and what actual nba FO ppl (who've seen behind the curtain and heard all the years of boogie horror stories) were willing to give up. especially with his agent explicitly telling teams he wouldn't extend.
