The guy is getting paid handsomely to do a job so he should nut up and do it. It's not like Amir has been a model of consistency with this franchise, his questionable work ethic has showed up in many stat lines during his Raptor tenure. If this was Bargs, this board would be erupting. And to make excuses like he must know he's getting traded in 2 weeks (which is completely idiotic) so he has a right to pout is inane.
Geez. the guy says he likes the city and everyone falls over themselves to try and service him and he can do no wrong. News alert: most NBA players love Toronto because it's a world class city and 4th largest in North America. And while Amir seems like a nice guy, he is a bench player not a starter, at least not a starter on a winning team. He should be grateful that Colangelo threw a nice long term contract his way considering he didn't do much to earn it except he stopped being a foul machine which is I guess on this team gets you the money.
He's showing up to games and doing his job. Your point is moot.
It's not as if he's left the team or refused to play. Players get paid handsomely but we generally forget how muc they make for billionaire owners.
