2729897, How is this the "guise"
Posted by Cold Truth, Thu Jan-14-21 02:50 PM
Player after player after player sees the writing on the wall, decides they're done with the situation, and makes their decision known to management.

Owner after owner after owner thinks they can control the situation, watches the situation deteriorate, still tries to hold on, and then the players finally force their hand by making it untenable for everyone.

Then the trade happens, and often enough, to the originally preferred destination anyways.

For every Harden who forces his way out of a situation and causes dorks all over the country to lose their shit at his "entitlement", there's a Blake Griffin, who signs with an expectation that this is home for the next 4-5 years of his life, before getting shipped halfway across the country, and people barely blink at it

That's the nature of the business, and it goes both ways.
