The Clips pitch to him involved putting his face on a shirt with the likes of Gandhi and MLK, and all of a sudden less than a year in they want to get rid of him. Not hard to imagine that he feels a bit disrespected.


Agree. I was very impressed and pleased. It didn't seem like the boilerplate "happy to be here" presser.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy
