Not only was it a terrible trade to get him, but then to hear this bum complain about having to go through customs? :lol:

You wouldn't be annoyed if it took you twice as long to get to work?
Or your mom made you a lasagne or something so your not home sick. Sorry can't take meat across the border. Favorite potato chips need to fill out paperwork first.

I'll never blame a player that gets traded against his will for not liking his new destination. He was a professional.

You got paid greater than your market value to live in a World class city with never ending entertainment, restaurants, nightlife.

Exactly, but he came with school-age kids and probably felt their difficulties at adjusting to another city, and in a colder climate at that. But frankly, for the sweetheart contract he got, he ought to just STFU

I swear these guys are the most spoiled, soft, coddled whiners in the history of sports. Imagine if they had played back when guys had to fly commercial.

Also trust me that it was tough on Raptor fans having you in Toronto too Young.

I'd suggest burning his jersey, but I doubt anyone ever bought one.

A disadvantage was picking #32 instead of #20

Customs are stupid, I'm with him on that one. Waste of everyone's time.

Still pissed me off that Masai extended this scrub after heavily overpaying for his scrub ass. One of many horrible moves during that stretch.

It's stupid for professionals who are regular travellers.

It's his opinions. But what confuses me is they'll run to Europe after their NBA careers end. But you'll hardly hear them complain about Europe. Though I've heard a few complaints about overseas here and there.

They don't go through the regular lines you and I go through.

That's part of the job. If you don't like it, you don't have to play in the NBA

Understood but the process still seems to suck when so many complain about it. Frequent traveller's who you have concrete background information on need to be held to different standards.
