2668745, I need to see him play this year, and embrace his time there

If he sits out this year too, holds the Raptors hostage or what have you, hard pass.

I get not wanting to play for SA any longer, and having a desired destination. If anything, he got one major part of his request fulfilled, and as a fan, I'd like to see him showcase himself and show that he's still the same guy.

I can't see any scenario where it's reasonable to trade for him or sign him to a max deal, or anything close, if he doesn't show the goods. I don't care what Chris Carter says.

If he doesn't show up and play for TDot, he's going to kill his value next summer IMO.

Granted, they showed themselves to be an untrustworthy, disloyal organization, and it's not like I expect him to give them anything more than the rental they traded for, but as a fan of the team he supposedly wants to play for... gotta see the goods.
