And I wouldn't want him back.
I will maintain that there is a HUGE difference between how guys like Lebron and Bosh left and how guys like Dwight and Carmelo left.
It's one thing to honor your contract and leave when you are a free agent. But Dwight made it a public ordeal that could have crippled our team much worse than it actially did (one of the reasons I believe in our FO guys).
He acts and carries himself like a 12 year old, and it's not cute or endearing anymore. Let him rot out West.
He was so desperate to not look like the bad guy, that he ended up coming off looking worse than just being the bad guy. He could have sucked it up and stayed quiet and gotten traded, then opted out. Instead he opts in due to "being too loyal" and the circus kept up. It was ridiculous, but I still would take him back if healthy.
