Would be awesome to get a talent like him in orlando, but his priorities obviously don't align with what the magic need.
Can you blame him?
Father left him as baby, mother kicked him out when he was 13.
And about not chasing rings, lot of players act like they care so much about rings, but in reality we all know they love $$ and lifestyle more. That's why not a single star ever signed on vets minimum to "help" team.
Even biggest star in basketball moved to team with zero ring hope this year.
Fans care about winning/team success/championships more than players oftentimes lol.
Being real if I was making 20+ mill a year I’d be doing everything in my power to live in Miami or LA. I don’t see anything wrong with the bolded part of the post you quoted. These guys are humans too

yep, i'm pretty sure T mac does not puts himself to sleep in tears ,living in $7M house, 8 rooms and elevator ( yes, elevator

) just because he never won chip.
Prestige of winning ring does not even exist any more anyway. Steph already won 3 rings , Durant has 2, Lebron has 3, it feels like rings are inevitable if you are superstar, you just need to push your way to superteam. (and keep taking short term deals to escape failing superteam on time )
