Nice piece G. Exactly how I feel. This cat held out in Summer League (look at his turnaround at Eurobasket), and held out most of this season.
His teammates endorsed him, and he tanked to escape.
Joe and Bill D. got tired subsidizing a kid with a money grubbing agent (see Samuel Dalembert negotiations).
With the paycheck comes an obligation. You gotta play and play hard (even in
garbage time), or you shouldn't be taking the check. Bottom line, he didn't. But he kept cashing the checks.
Like 16 said, he's doubled his money by leaving, a
smooth financial move, paid for by the fans of the Pistons.
I wish him many losses and a max deal. There is a Raef LaFrentz future awaiting him. Reap the whirlwind.
