Punishment for the COVID shit, sure, per whatever the league rules are for that.

but the rest?

Dude gave them seven incredible seasons.
Shit wasn't working, and he wanted out.

Fuck the owners. It's unfortunate for fans and teammates, but if these guys had a better, more reasonable path out, perhaps with ownership that has a vested interest in their players in a way where they say, OK, we'll work on a way to get you out of here.

But that rarely happens, and so players have to use other methods.

Owners in these situations are in denial, and think they can control these situations.

They can't, nor should they.

Players have leverage, and they fucking exercise it.

As they should.

Act like brats?

You really got a way with making an extra effort to shit on successful Black men while putting that extra english on it.

You asked if TI knew he was a loser.
You called Kawhi bitch made.

Now you're asking how it is that Harden, and, apparently, "guys", can act like brats to get their way.

You're acting awfully mad that the players, who are *partners* in this motherfucking league and not merely employees, have some measure of power beyond simply waiting for a contract to run it's course.

A team can ship a team to any other team, at any time, for any reason.

You sound mad that players aren't completely boxed in, with a lack of leverage.

The brat, the bitch, the loser here is... you. Because every word you type feels like the next is about to be "these guys need to just shut up and play the game like they're told".
